Gab Senator Blasts False Promises In Campaigns By ANGEL CASTILLO State "Senator John E. Mathews? Democrat from Jacksonville, was the guest speaker at last Monday's SGA assembly. Mathews, one of six Democratic candidates competing for a nomination in the coming May ■ 5 State Primary, was named "Most Valuable Member of the Legislature" in 1963 by his colleagues.-His past record includes membership" in Phi Beta Kappa, served as president of ODK and of the Student Body at' Emory University, He is a graduate of the Harvard Law School. FALSE PROlfaSES His speech, dealing with the coming elections, appealed for conscientious evaluation of' the candidates' records on the part of the voters; He mentioned the fact that many candidates make promises which they know will not receive support from the majority of the Legislature; this should be ■ exposed, since according to him, the decisions. made, in the next six years by the new Administration will "affect , the future of Florida during the coming decades." He also mentioned that the other, candidates would riot agree to his proposal of having joint appearances -throughout the State. Although pressed for time, Mathews stated that his platform was based on twenty-one. "major problems affecting the state, which require immediate action; the main one is Education. According to Mathews, we must begin to "think big," since Florida is rapidly becoming one.of the biggest states in the Union, and its educational facilities are" only about oner half • as adequate as what is needed - to guarantee the future welfare of its residents. "If ev ery child, he said,-regardless, of creed, color, or economic status does not receive' a fair opportunity fof a'higher education, we have failed.". He-added that Florida, has one bf the-' lowest participations in higher education in the country. - • He went -on • to' explain . that the Legislative ' Council's Committee on Higher-Education,-' of which, he * is ■ Chairman, . is.-'di- vided into three sub-committees,- in charge of studying the Structure arid- ..Financing of the State's higher' educational facilities, the.functioning of each Institution, and the maintenance of quality, education everywhere. Mathews, an eight-year veteran of the Legislature, pledged his "100 percent-effort" towards achieving ari, improved over-all picture in the Educational field, although he remirid- ed. the, audience that-the real power fof the State Government lies in the hands' of all the representatives elected by the pepo- ple, and'riot only in the Governor's hands. He then- commented ' on -the .fact that, save for rare exceptions, the wealthier citizens of the ' State don't contribute enough towards helping economically, .the. institutions of higher learning. In a short-period of questions- and answers which' followed his talk, . he stated among other things, that. "he - doesn't know whether he is "a''liberal .pr, a. conservative," that he opposes a" State-operated ,' lottery for ; iri- cohie-raisirig, .aid that .the money" to 'finance 'his .educational program.would eorne from whatever taxes the' Legislature decided.' He finished ?"by saying. that his •' Administration would be. in favor of offering financial' aid to the State's privately:op- erated ' colleges. -,,',;' ^a^a^i SUB Movie Preview By JOHN PICKERING The Devil at Four O'clock stars Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra, and a lot of lava.

Ferre, Abbot professor of Christian theology at Andover Newton Theological Seminary, was guest speaker at the chapel service on Monday Trioffirrig;'Feb. 10.' • - ' '.After a life-time of thinking, pf talking to leaders in other religions, Ferre said he can find no deeper concept that that God is spirit and love. Other peoples are hungry for this revolutionary thing that Christians- have discovered, Ferre declared., God is not a big eye, looking at us.' He is rather one who is able to give true freedom by putting us on our own. It-is the nature of love to give freedom and to make us responsible persons, the theologian said. Unconditional love has made a universe where we can learn freedom through love. "The only kind of 'community which is real, is one that is open, inclusive and creative," Ferre stated. "Other communities d e s t roy themselves. In Jesus Christ all are one, neither male nor female, Greek nor Jew, black nor white. Christ tells us that all experience is a , potentiality - process, where we seek our potential. "We must be verv revolutionary in our thinking. We are going to work out the new age only when we' find out that God is concerned about everyone and that God is love," Ferre said.
