Tommy Fagg Senate Elections Dear Editor, The elections of yesterday and, in particular, the senate elections have shown that an effective senate can not be elected at large by the Student Body. Instead of electing senators on their ability to work for student government, they are chosen by their ability to plaster the campus with poster So Students are not aware of the issues in a campaign of the type we witnessed yesterday. Under the present system it is impossible to cast an intelligent vote. The only way to relieve this problem is for Western Carolina to adopt the party system now employed on the campuses of most big universities. Western's student body has grown to such a tremendous number in recent years that it is impossible for everyone to be familiar with a candidate. A party system offers a means for the individual to become known. His campaign would be designed to follow the platform of the party. This factor alone would greatly simplify the problem of casting an intelligent vote. Second, the party would nominate only qualified people or people that have proven themselves in work with the party. This would be far better than the present system where campus Greek organizations push their members into these positions not because of their qualifications, but because they will help the organization in rush and other functions. Campus politicians take no«- tice. It is high time that the students of Western Carolina have the kind of representation they deserve. Bill Biggers SUDS«WZ# 633 MERRIMON AVENUE ■ ASHEVILLE, N. G.

Cohen, who'is considered one of the master legislative technicians in government, has been nominated by President Johnson to be the new Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. If the nomination is approved by the Senate, Cohen will sue- ceed John W. Gardner, who left the Cabinet to head the Urban Coalition and its attack on the crisis of the cities. Cohen served as undersecre- tary of HEW under Gardner and has been serving as acting secretary since Gardner's resignation became effective March 1. Cohen's nomination to the Cabinet came as no surprise to education officials, most of whom had considered him the major contender for the job. They expect Cohen to continue most of the policies imple- mented by Gardner during his two and one-half years as Secretary. Cohen reportedly worked closely with Gardner. Cohen, however, is recognized as an expert in the areas of social security and public welfare, while Gardner is considered one of education's leading spokesmen. Although Cohen has close ties with the aca- Leigh .From Page 1 "According to the letter that I have, practices at the infirmary are illegal.* When interviewed yesterday, Leigh admitted that he had made the above statement and that he had not been misquoted. Then, he changed his mind and said he had been misquoted. Then, he said he didn't want to say anything. Leigh then denied he had made the above statement to editor- elect, Watson. He said he hadn't said what Watson had said he had said. (If you think you're confused, think how I felt). Then I questioned Leigh on the ownership of the drug store. He stated: "Mr. Brown has nothing to do with the drug store." But he does own the building? "Yes. No. Mr. Brown owns the ground," was the reply. Does he own the building? "I don't know. Ask Mr. Brown." You don't know who owns the building? "I don't wish to comment on it," he said. So, Frank Brown, vice-president for administrative affairs at the university and local property owner was questioned. "I think enough has been said about the drug store," he stated. "Yes, I own the real estate (building and grounds) and I will continue to own it!" In reference to the Action Answer question, Mr. Brown did not "allow" the pharmacist to do anything and Brown has nothing whatsoever to do with the operation of the drug store. demic community, he undoubtedly will not enjoy the same prestige with academicians that Gardner had. Cohen has written several books on social security and public welfare and is considered a major innovator in this area. Gardner has written several books on education, and is considered one of the leading thinkers and critics in this area. Since he started working with the government when he finished college in 1934, Cohen has almost constantly been involved in writing controversial legislation. During the years, he has become well-known on Capitol Hill, but due to his liberal attitudes toward public welfare he has not always been well liked by all Congressmen. Since such controversial programs as Medicare have been adopted, however, the respect for Cohen has increased. Most Congressmen have always considered him to be an effective administrator and a man who is willing to compromise. Cohen was instrumental in getting Congress to approve the Elementary and Secondary School Act of 1965. Internationalist . . .From Page 3 "Free City" of Berlin, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). These three states would then form a loose confederation. Each state would have the power to conclude a separate peace treaty with the war time Allies. If the full effects of the Soviet Plan are put into effect there would be no hope for German Reunification. Also, under the Soviet Plan, West Germany would be forced to sever its close ties to the Western Alliance. Instead, she would become a neutral nation open to attacks from the Eastern Communist states. Since these proposals were submitted in the late fifties, both powers have refused to compromise. There is no chance for a German Unification under the terms of either proposal. Both powers have remained firm in their demands. While the unification of Germany is debated and discussed, the two regions continue to grow apart, Today in Germany there is a new generation of people. They have grown up in a divided Germany. Their ties with the other Germany are loose. They do not see the need for unification as their parents did. As time passes the chances of German Unification continue to grow even slimmer.
