An Editorial:
Senator
What If
By TOMMY MILLER
The thought of abolishing all
forms of student government at
Hardin-Simmons shocked the Stu-
dent Senate last Monday night
as Senator-at-Large Joe Foster
moved that the Senate call for
an optional referendum vote from
the student body as to the need
for student government at H-SU.
Foster's motion was quickly
seconded by busines manager
Tom Womble and sophomore Sen-
ator Chuck Perkins. After a long
discussion Perkins moved that
the motion be tabled indefinitely.
The term "optional referendum"
calls for a direct yes or no vote
from the entire student body as
to whether student government
at H-SU would live or die. Had
Foster's motion passed the senate
the students would have the
decision.
Introduction
Foster's motion came at the end
"Christian Creativity
In Business" Theme
For Davis Lectures
"Christian Creativity in Busi-
ness" will be the theme of
the forthcoming Davis Lectures
to begin Feb. 15 and continue
through the 18th.
The featured speaker for this
year's Lois and Lee Davis Lec-
tures is a formidable Ohioian
Fred Smith.
Smith is management counsel
for Mobile Oil Company Printing

Idea Division of Avco. He form-

Senate Were Abolished?
of the regular Monday night
meeting. After President Pat
Bonds called for new business
Foster stood up and offered what
might be called an introduction
to the motion.
Foster explained that when he
was a freshman there were three
candidates for senate president.
When he was a sophomore there
were two candidates for senate
president and when he was a
junior there was one candidate
for senate president. He went on
to point out other areas where
there was a general lack of inter-
est on the part of students in
student government.
However Foster was quick to
point out that he would be the
first to support student govern-
ment and support it whole-
heartedly. He stated that he
would fight the motion if it
came down to a vote in the senate.

But he went on to say that
also served as vice-president of
Powell Valve Company and for
eight years he was head of in-
dustrial relations for General
Shoe Corporation. He establish-
ed his own management firm
Fred Smith Associates in 1955.
Smith is presently a member
of the board of trustees for
Christian Men Inc. and has
been for several years associated
with the Howard Butt Evangelis-
tic Program. Added to this long

because of this lack of interest
by both students involved in stu-
dent government and those not
involved he felt that something
was needed to "wake" students
up.
By the quick seconds of Wom-
ble and Perkins it didn't take
any genius to know that they
were collaborators in the action
Foster was just the spokesman.
Senator Linda Loutherback was
the first to raise a question and
it came quickly. She asked
"What do you plan to accomp-
lish?" Foster answered to in-
crease interest. Perkins added
that the spirit of the student body
is not good and maybe this
would improve it. Womble said
that the motion was intended to
make the student body think.
Our Own Fault
In answer to the problem of
lack of interest Senator Stella
Noon blasted her own cubbard
by stating that the fault lies with
the senate itself. She said that

the senators did not try hard
enough to stir up interest.
Senator Don Roberts agreed
that lack of interest is a prob-
lem but he said "We have empty
rooms in the dormitories but we
are not about to close down Hardin-Simmons.
I think a compari-
son could be made here with the
student government.
After more discussion Perkins
moved that the motion be tabled
indefinitely and received a sec-
ond from Womble. President Pat
Bonds yielded the gavel to vice-
president Jim Towns then asked
to speak.
Expressed Disappointment
Bonds agreed with Foster and
he too expressed a disappoint-
ment because of the lack of inter-
est in student government. But
Bonds then referred back to sena-
tor Moon's comments and he too
said that the fault lies partly with
the senate. He stated that enthu-
siasm has got to be shown by the
senate itself interest must be
created.
