Gov. Stratton Speaks
To District AKP
Mr. William G. Stratton, gover-nor
of Illinois, was the featured
speaker at the Alpha Kappa Psi
fraternity Illinois district confer-ence
banquet Sunday at 5:45 p.m.
in Memorial Center. The Governor
was initiated into the fraternity
earlier in the evening.
Mr. Stratton spoke to the group
of future businessmen on govern-ment
and business. He cited the
need for more businessmen to
take an active interest in their
government and to participate in
forming policies.
Mutual Interest
The Governor said that business
and government are basically in-terested
in the same thing-pro-viding
a profit for investors.
"However," he added, "all the
benefits of government do not
show up on balance sheets." It is
important for businessmen to real-ize
that government is a business
to become engaged in. "Govern-ment
is more complicated than any
business you'll ever get involved
in," he added.

Smith Attends ICUA
Dr. John Sylvester Smith, vice
president and dean of Illinois Wes-leyan
University, is attending the
Institute for College and University
Administrators on the campus of
the' Harvard Graduate School of
Business Administration, Boston,
Mass., from Feb. 14-19.
Participation in the Institute is
limited to 35 to 40 deans, aca-demic

and similar officers.

aspects of the job of the aca-demic
dean; namely, faculty re-cruitment

Senate Raps Hierarchy For Convos
At Student Senate meeting Mon-day,
Feb. 15, C. Alan Beeler pro-posed
the following motion: "I
move that the Student Senate 'dis-tribute
petitions to the student
body to be presented to the Ad-ministration
protesting the selec-tion
of convocation speakers for
reasons other than speaking ability
and relevance of subject matter."
The motion did not pass, but it
did engender a lively discussion.
Kay Armstrong, convocations
commission chairman, spoke of the
poor student conduct at the last
convocation. "We do owe someone
the courtesy of at least listening.
If we as individuals would watch
our conduct ... "
In discussion of the motion, the
Senate members suggested various
ideas for the improvement in
quality of convocation speakers.
The general opinion was that some
of the convocations are and can be
good, but two in particular were
mentioned as poor: the President's
Day convocation at . which Mr.
Herbert J. Taylor spoke and the
recent Founders' Day convocation.
Both of these convocations were
administration-sponsored.
Many Senate members felt that
convocations with faculty members
as speakers or with students par-ticipating
in the program would be
more effective.
There was some question as to
whether the majority of the stu-dents
were in agreement with
Senate members as to the quality
of convocation speakers.
Dave Hull, Student Senate presi-dent,
concluded the discussion with
this statement: "Go back to your
groups and find out if they think
these speakers are as bad as some
of us think."
Graduation Fee
Dave Hull, Senate president, an-nounced
that the graduation fee
for this year is $25, not $50.
