electives and modify the general
studies requirements for freshmen
and sophomores in the College
of Arts and Sciences.
The University Advisory Committee's proposal for revamping
the student advisingsystcm is not
on the Senate's agenda for Monday. The proposal which suggests a salary compensation for
advisors, reduction in the advisee load and the hiring of a
professional core of counselors
was first submitted to the Senate
Council, the working ami of the
University Senate, Sept. 18.
Jean Paul Pegeron, chairman
of the student committee, said
his committee was meeting Monday to clear up some of the points
of the proposal and that the
advisor resolution would prolv

of the Senate at its November
meeting.

Relevance, Courtesy
In the interest of furthering the
University community's knowledge
of election issues and alternatives,
Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) has asked that Socialist
Worker Party Presidential Candidate Fred Halstead be given a
tJniversity convocation at this appearance here October 27. This
request seems reasonable and the
Faculty Senate should approve it
without delay.
Mr. Halstead, a New York textile worker, is the official representative of a party which is on
the ballot in Kentucky and 20
other states. The fact that the Socialist Worker Party has little influence in Kentucky should not be
used as an excuse to keep its candidate from speaking. The fact is
the American Independent Party is
hardly a party at all except for the
charisma of George Wallace.
Neither can the educational relevance of Mr. Halstead's speech
be denied. What, after all, could
be more relevant in an election
year than a speech by a candidate

who is on the ballot in the state
of Kentucky?
The fact is that no matter what
the Faculty Senate decides, Mr.
Halstead will be on campus and
will speak. Faculty Senate approval is not required for a speaker
to be sponsored by a campus organization and to speak to a University audience. So the question
is not really whether Mr. Halstead
will speak here.
Rather, the question is how
will the University Faculty Senate react to his appearance here.
Will the fact the Mr. Halstead
is a socialist obscure the fact that
he is a recognized candidate and
as such is entitled to speak to a
University convocation? Will the
University refuse the basic courtesy
of equal consideration just because
of a man's political affiliation?
Or to put it another way, will the
University refuse to give Mr. Halstead treatment equal to that it
gave the plump, frightening, little
man from Alabama?

Death For Guns
In passing a compromise bill this week the Senate took a positive
step toward changing that great American tradition of death by gun.
The Senate voted to ban all sales of firearms and ammunition
across state lines and require records on all
purchases.
The measure, which now goes before the House, also requires buyers
of guns within a state to sign an affidavit of eligibility and wait
seven days to allow time for a police check before making the purchase.
In a country where nearly 800,000 citizens have been killed by
privately owned guns in this century alone, the measure is none too
strict.
The people of this country have got to learn that they are violent,
and guns are tools by which they can express their violence. Taking
away those tools are the best way to save lives.
The Senate action is a move in the right direction. But let us
not stop there. America will be a better and safer place to live when
guns are not only sold freely here, but when they are not so widely
manufactured here.
