THE OBSERVE*.E S L iT u esd ay , F e b r u a r y90, 972The Man withthe CrownThere’s a man with a crown running in today’s SBP election. By allindications he has captured more support than any othercandidate in therace. His platform is satire—he has deftly analyzed the nature of studentgovernm ent and student politics. In the best tradition of Jonathan Swift,he has rationalized the ludicrous.Bob Kersten’s m essage is not as ridiculous as som e may feel. What heis saying is basically true. A sm all group of students do run studentgovernment, the Observer and other organizations on campus. A lot ofthese sam e people don’t have, or care to have much contact with theordinary students. A lot of them hold the positions they do because theyhave an inner need to.That it would be a very fine and sw eet slap in the face of the studentpoliticians-w ho often view the student body as so many cattle to bemanipulated--to elect Bob Kersten cannot be denied. It cannot be denied,but neither can the fact that the election of Bob Kersten could hurt us.Take three situations that are now on the docket, waiting to be decided;co-ed dorms, fines on refrigeratorsand televisions, and the newcalendar that will have us come back in mid-August.Student Government could have an influence in the decisions on thesethree problems.They could represent the students interests andperhaps force the administration to take our point of view for a change.Could Bob Kersten, as head of Student Government, get the ad ministration to change their stance on these three things?Could Bob Kersten,crown and all, walk into a Vice-Presiden’s meetingandpresentanalternative proposal forappliance fines, a proposal thatwould be accepted?If your revulsion against student governm ent is that strong thendo everyone a favorandvote for none of the above. Don’t put the studentbody in a position they might regret, bitterly, next year.The New Season BeginsFloyd KezeleySptanlC(boASon&\hop\e Still lakfeStudent (ScvernwenfcSeriously/Due to a typing error in yesterday’s Observer, a misprintappeared in the Jean Seymour-Sue Welte story.
