To Go

Svara Quits; Only Beshear Remains
The Student Congress race

is no longer in question with

the withdrawal of Jim Svara
and the three candidates running with him.
Svara, candidate for the SC
presidency,
officially withdrew
from the race yesterday saying
It would be unfair for him to run
since he would not have the time
to do the job.
Olenn Moore, Becky Anderson,
and Ben Williams, all of whom
were running with Svara on an
unnamed party ticket, also withdrew.
This leaves Steve Beshear, the
Student Party candidate for president, and his three running
mates unopposed in next Tuesday's election. It is the first time
in the memory of campus observers that the Student Congress
post has been uncontested.
his decision to

withdraw, Svara issued this statement yesterday:
"The plight of Student Congress Is disturbing to anyone who
has a modicum of social concern. Its failures do not cause
concern because they are rampant corruption or grand evil
or Machiavellian
machinations
If this were the
case one could seek to correct it
by a holy crusade aimed at
stamping out the obvious evils.

due to attitudes, action and orientation which are not conducive
to constructive action. It is not
so much that Student Congress
has done nothing but rather that
It has failed to come close to
Its potential importance.
"The basic reason is that the
leaders and members of Student
Congress believe the group Is a
political body, but fail to understand what politics is. They consider politics to be the devious
means by which one exploits the
strength of the majority to push
through programs which will enhance their electability, or the
means by which a minority obstructs or disrupts in order to
make the majority look bad and

"In short, the leaders and members of Congress base their actions on advancing the Interest
of their own party or themselves.

or minority obstruction.
This
kind of leadership is needed if
Student Congress is to come up
to the standards of performance
of other Student groups such as
the Student Center Board, LKD,
or any of the
groups.
"The common resolve to carry
out a group's functions must
come first; politics is the means
by which this aim is achieved
among different groups and Individuals. Presently, politics has

been distorted to the point that
lt is the end of Student Congress.
"Because this is the case, I was
disturbed when I found out the
slate to be presented by the Student Party, especially the presidential candidate. Stee Beshear
has been too much influenced by
the example of party leaders Carl
Modeckl and Paul Chellgren to
be able to divorce himself from
the way they look at Student
Congress.
'After I discovered that there
would be no other objective, experienced opposition to the Student Party, the prospect of continuing the partisanship and resulting inaction next year bothered me to the extent that I decided to enter the race. The decision was based on the feeling
that I could provide the kind of
leadership needed in congress.
"However, I did not give sufficient consideration to my ability to handle all the obligations
connected with the office in addition to the other

"Glenn Moore, Becky Ander
son, and Ben Williams who entered the campaign with me as a
slate have decided that my
action has changed the conditions on which they entered the
race to such an extent that they
wish to withdraw as well.
"I regret that my decision will
be received with disappointment
from friends who urged me to
run and with glee from the
leaders of Student Party. They
certainly have not deserved to
win by default because nf their
performance this year.
"This word to the next president of Student Congress: it is
up to Steve Beshear to remove
from Student Congress the elements which have retarded its
improvement. If he does not wish
to give congress constructive
leadership, few will care and the
organization will remain on the
periphery of student life with,
too little importance to students.
If so, he will be free to continue
playing congress' little game?. If
not. Student Congress may become significant."
The proposed constitution will
also be on Tuesday's ballot.

� Failure To Meet
Student Needs
When the schedule books for the
summer session appeared on campus
recently many University students
were sadly disappointed. Seniors and
uppcrclassmen were especially disturbed to find many departments offering only one or two courses and
these primarily designed to interest
teachers returning to school to renew
their teaching certificates.
The classical explanation given by
many campus officials is that since so
few students attend summer school
the University has attempted to "economize" by hiring instructors on a
30- - rather than a
basis.
Seemingly, instructors for the summer
session have not yet leen hired and
the possibility of hiring visiting professors is being discussed.
Although few students would
argue with the need for economy,
many would question whether the
drastic revision of summer school
classes is to the benefit of the majority of summer students.
The new school calendar which
vas welcomed so enthusiastically by
the student body, appealed to many

because they thought it would give
them an opportunity to go all year
if they desired, and complete their
education early.
However, the trimester plan has
not been put into effect and students find themselves forced to take
fewer hours during the regular semester in able to do the work adequately
under the new calendar. Now it seems
that the summer session will offer
little opportunity to make up those
courses.
Needless to say this is especially
bad for those students who work
and must carry a reduced
part-tim- e
work load during the regular semester.
According to the administration
one of the reasons that the trimester
system is not in operation is the feeling that University students would not
program. They
support a
point to poor attendance at the summer session as an example of student
indifference.
They ignore the fact that this summer's program will not meet the needs
of the average student.

What Time Is It?
Once again the Kernel asks, "What
time is it?" We repeatedly have asked
this question for the past 19 months.
The campus clock system, if not corrected by the end of this semester, will
liave been out of order for two years
when the full semester begins in September.
Aside from being just plain anclocks cause
noying, the fouled-u- p
classes to be dismissed late. This disrupts the University's class schedule,
sind often means that a student will
miss the first 10 minutes of his lectures.
In October 19(52, Elgan B. Farris,
bead of maintenance and operations,
indicated that the clock system was

correlated with the campus lighting
system, and that when the lighting
installation was completed the clock
situation would be corrected. The
lights were turned on months ago.
We are still waiting for the time.
We are not trying to place the
blame on any particular group; the
fault may well rest outside the University. We are hoping that the situation can be corrected as soon as
possible. We have discussed this issue
in the past and have waited patiently
for results. There were none. We are
asking for action, and shall continue
to ask for it until the campus clocks
begin to function in a uniform and
correct manner.

Taming A Monster

Though it is in the nature of governmental bureaucracy to resist attempts to tame it, that is a poor excuse
for failing to make any effort to
grapple with its problems. Here as
elsewhere the price of complacency
can be excessive.
g
It is a price paid not only in
and inefficiency, in waste
in delay and conand
fusion on matters affecting the public's interests, in sterile thinking and
sometimes unsound policy. There can
also be a price in terms of the quality of our political institutions.
For, as Admiral Rickover reminds
us in a recent booklet put out by the
Center for the Study of Democratic
Institutions, bureaucracy is essentially
opposed to democracy. In democracy
the power is in the people; inside a
bureaucracy power rests with the top
official, subject only to the supervision of general government.
Moreover, bureaucracies have
often been used not to advance the
people's interests but to suppress
them, as in the case of organizations
serving the personal wishes of feudal
nobles or kings. While that danger is
not great in our system, with its
checks and balances, it is nonetheless a fact that the growth of bureaucracy has distorted those very restraints. In the distortion there can
be threats to individual liberties.
Thus bureaucracy is concentrated
in the Executive; numerically it surpasses the other two branches. In
Admiral Rickover's words, "The Federal bureaucracy accounts in large
part for the enormously enhanced

Elections In Great Britain
Sir Alec did not wait until the
returns were all in from the April
9 county elections, including the very
significant Greater London Council
Vote, before announcing an autumn
f lection. lie had one good reason not
to. If he had waited another 24 hours
to see the returns from the county
voting he would have risked giving
liis opponents a chance to say that
Conservative delay in moving toward
a national vote was due to Tory panic
over the county vote.
Even so Labor can say that the
Conservatives have decided to wait
for autumn in the hope that things
vill be less bail for them than now.
It is only a matter of semantics for
the Conservatives to rephrase this
into the proposition that they will be
(Mil surer of v ictory in August.
The strategy of a fall election includes still the proposition that impolitic union actions will arise in the
next few months to turn the floating
ote toward the Conservatives. Wage
disputes in the mining industry and
postal .service were indeed making
jaws at the vwry moment in which
Unions were learning of Sir Alec's
decision.
Other factors in the Conservative

battle plans include needs to put party
forces, both the hierarchy and rank
and file, back into array after one
of the most frankly publicized intra-part- y
debates ever to enfeeble the
Conservatives in an election year.
Party leaders assume that a few
months will suffice to restore party
instincts to normal functioning.
Autumn was, in any case, indicated by the public opinion polls.
They plainly warned the Conservatives not to try for victory in the
immediate future. These signals may
change later, partly because of a
growing awareness among the people
of the very high level of prosperity
that workers as well as employers are
enjoying. This has just been underlined by a treasury report receiving
nationwide attention.
After all it is rare in any country
for the party in power to be voted
out in a prosperous period when
employment is high and Britain just
now has 9S percent full employment.
On the domestic front where
voters' reactions are most forceably
allected Conservatives can reasonably
look forward to sustained high levels
of business, capital investment and

consumer purchasing. It even looks as
if former Prime Minister Macmillan's
phrase about Britain never having
had it so good has become obsolete.
In addition governmental capital
investment is slated to increase by 56
percent this year.
A number of considerations
may
have caused Sir Alec to hesitate until
now, while Laborites and liberals
fumed over "uncertainty."
For example, there is capital outflow from Britain partly inspired by
financiers' fears of a new period of
Labor rule. In addition
difficulties may become
severe by July. Inflation could bring
problems. But efforts to check it in
time could antagonize thoughtless
voters. The new budget is not expected to win votes.
Sir Alec's decision does not mean
that his political opponents have any
definite date to prepare for Autumn
could mean late October or, by a
stretch of words, early September.
The Conservatives may still spring a
surprise therefore, which they hope
to fellow up with another surprise-nam- ely
the victory which has lately
seemed anything but likely.
From The Chiktiun Sciatic Monitor

the
power of the President
other two coordinate branches of government." Certainly such a shift
should be a cause for concern.
In addition, neither the growth of
bureaucracy nor the changes it has
wrought proceed from Constitutional
guides; hence there is no express limit
on the expansion or the uses of bureaucracy. It is our misfortune, writes
the naval officer, that the founding
fathers did not anticipate the scope of
the problem. With their lucid political
minds they might have worked out an
effective answer, as they did for so
many complex questions.
In any event, the question now is
not whether bureaucracy should be
abolished even if it could be, nor is it
contended that bureaucracy exists
only in government. It continues to
exist in both public and private life
because no one has yet devised a
satisfactory alternative for organizing
large groups of people and activities.
What is at issue is the possibility of
containing bureaucracy, of making it
more workable and more responsive
to the public. These questions have
been discussed for years, but the government has been notably reluctant
to do anything that might bring about
improvements.
Gathering dust, for example, arc
some Hoover Commission recommendations for clarifying the relationships
between political appointees and career administrators. Admiral Rickover
himself advocates a professional career civil service, in which a civil
servant could rise to be at least the
technical head of an agency.
Such proposals have considerable
merit. But surely a central part of
the problem of bureaucracy is the
sheer size of government. Limiting or
reducing its size could well be the
most effective control on excessive
bureaucracy.
Many people today despair of ever
achieving that objective; to them it
seems that population growth and
urbanization foreordain a continually
expanding government bureaucracy.
And it is true enough that, as the Admiral observes, "when space around
a man contracts, more rules are
needed to discipline his behavior toward others."
If such is indeed the ominous prospect, it emphasizes the need to reexamine the ground rules for protecting individual liberties within a framework of order. Government need
grow only if we keep assigning to
it more and more of the responsibilities that belong to free men as individuals.
A nation which permits unchecked
aggrandizement of government power, with its uncontrolled and so far
uncontrollable armies of public servants, may one day find it has paid the
price and bought a monster that
would make the present overgrown
bureaucracy seem beneficent of comparison.

"We are a cosmopolitan group,"
tays Cornell graduate, Peter Yarrow. "It would be dishonest for
us to imitate the folk singing
style of any particular ethnic
group. But our urban background
Is an asset. We can present in a

"Al had the Idea long before

that this vacuum exists In America, and a lot of people want ti

The group hardly feels it has
