Sweet, Alexander For
Lincoln Land Board
On April 8th, next Saturday, voters will
be called upon to elect two members of the
Lincoln Land Board of Trustees. SPECTRUM
feels that two candidates are especially
qua1 if i ed , and theref ore worthy of hei ng
elected.
John' lexander , a former instructor
the college, Vice-President of the recent
Constitutional Convention, and presently a
Virden businessman, brings to the campaign
a good balance of viewpoints and experience.
Alexander has the beckground to know
both the student's and teachers' needs and
problems; and his business background will provide an added perspective. Recognized
as doing a good job in both hls teaching
career at LLCC and at Con-Con, Alexander
would be an asset to Junior College District
529.
Roger Sweet, past LLCC student comnissioner,
Man of the Year, and SSU Assembly
Speaker, brings a wealth of higher Educa-tional
experience and college political
know1 edge to the position. A1 so acknowledged
for his grasp of practical government,
Sweet brings a background of military service
and student life which will enable
him to both represent the taxpayers and the
future customers of LLCC .
Alexander and Sweet represent a balance

Several members of the SSU Faculty say
they are thinking abovt leaving as the re-
sul t of broken dreams about the kind of
school they were coming to help build.
Among those in the midst of a "reassess-
ment" of their pos,ition is Jeff Go=.
Cornog described himself the ottier day as
a senior member of the faculty, and in the
pecking order of traditional universities
wouldn't have to worry about the distribu-
tion of "the goodies." But Cornog says he
didn't come to Sangamon State to be secure
in tradition, and the implication in his
remarks and the comments of other faculty
and disappointed students is that the SSU
community is trying to resist, at consi-
derable psychic cost, the shove-down--the
road to admini strative-educational yester-
days.
NOTE: Cornog has in his briet time here
impressed the Yacul ty with clear thinking
on the governance system, and has consi-
derable influence on the embattled Council
on Academic Affairs.
If El Presidente is as confused as he
says over whythesangamon community is
reacting as though he was leading what he
termed angrily ''a fascist dictatorship':all
he need do is look at how he went about
trying to strip the governance system of
the program coni ttees .
Though Vice President John Keiser let it
slip the other day he had hoped to stimulate
debate on program committees, but not
until June, Spencer decided to veto an assembly
bill touching on the cmi ttees but
also to try by edict to take over the committees
on about the last day of the quarter.
So, instead of using the committees that
Keiser wasn't going to tamper with until
much later in the year, Spencer decided to
tell the CAA it was being stripped of its
virgin territories.
p.s. The edict comes as a surprise to the
cerebral Council Chairman Robert Crowley,
who finds it difficult to react in a debate.
Perhaps, though, Crowley 's reply to the. effect,
"you'll be long remembered for this,
Mr. President" was most appropriate.

Dairy State Produces
Political Dark Harses
by Don Shaver
(NATIONAL) - Wisconsin, which has long been
known for its production of dairy cows, is
now becoming famous for its production of
dark horses. At least that's all that
seems to be running in today's (Tuesday)
Wisconsin primary on the democratic ticket.
Just three months from the convention,
there is still not a democratic front run-
ner. In fact, if anybody wins this dark-
horse race for the demo nod, it'll be an
upset.
The inability of the Democrats to have
a strong candidate even at this late date
is doing more to insure the re-election of
Richard Nixon than if the Viet Cong sur-
rendered, inflation disappeared, and Spiro
Agnew were assasinated a ll on the same day.
Muskie goes into the W-isconsin primary a
gloomy and dejected man, exhausted from his
campaign and discouraged by its results.
He'll be lucky to ftnish third by the end
of today's vote tally. .Humphrey, who has
been called Wisconsin's .third senator,
have to move over and make room for Mc-
Govern. Humphrey has known for the past
week that he has been losing ground to
McGovern. A recent pol 1 conissioned by
the AFL-CIO showed that McGovern was ac-
tually running ahead of HHH. If Hubie
does manage to hold on to hi's elusive/victory
by the end of today's v~te tally, it
will almost certainly be a narrow one.
Regardless of the outcome of the Wiscon-
sin primary, contested as it may be, it is
still no more significant than a fly speck
in outer space. It is hard to imagine any
ofthecandidatesinitactually being
nominated at the Democratic convention.
Muskie's campaign is slowing down at such
a rate that he'll be lucky to stay in the
race until the convention. Humphrey had
been nominated at every convention since
1960; when he finally got the nomination
in 1968, he blew it, despite the fact that
Wallace split conservative voters.McGovern,
probably the best candidate for the job,
has already shown he has an acute know-
ledge of the fuel that feeds'the political
machine, but still is responsive to the
needs of the people. He has advanced
some sensible ideas-to heal the ailing
American society, which is precisely why
it is hard to imagine the Democratic party

NEW EVIDENCE ENTERED AT HEARING
Blue Memo
Cited As
Policy Rationale
BY John C. Scattergood
(SSU) -~resb evidence that the Sangamon
State University Governance system has pol -
icy-making powers was presented last night
at open hearings aF a committee studying
the possible accreditation of SSU by the
North Central Association (NCA) .
During the same hearings controversial
state senator G. W i 11 iam Horsl ey appeared
for his first public address at the university
since he attacked the school last
year.
Professor Mark Siebert urged the panel
to consider the role of the governance
system and the current confrontation with
the administration as being central to the
question. of accreditation. At the same
time Siebert quoted from a memo from the
administration that a1 1 faculty were required
to sign last year as a condition of
employment with the university.
". . .The condition of employment which
faculty members may expect during the fdrst
few years of the university's existance.. ."
says the document, "are subject to modifi-
cation and clarification by the University
Assembly in consul tation with the academic
officers of the university.. ."
Leaders of the governance system are now
expected to sight the blue memo in respon-
se to a challenge by the university presi-
dent for written proof that the governance
system has pol i cy-ma ki ng powers.
The contract, according to Siebert, con-
tinues on to say, "the pattern or govern-
ance at SSU asks members of the facutly and
staff to share the formation of policy with
students and members of the comnunity in a
unicameral assembly, subdivided into work-
ing councils in major areas of concern to
the academic community."
Siebert told the panel that the document
entitled "considerations for the appoint-
ment of new faculty1' has two parties a s
signatories binding both the faculty and
the university administration.
"I consider myself and my ehployer equal-
ly bound by the language I have just quo-
ted," .said Siebert.

Seibert said he did not think that Univsity
President Robert Spencer was an evil
man for his actions attempting to take program
comni ttees from under the jurisdiction
of the assembly along with all policy formulation
powers.
Instead, Seibert said Spencer was replying
to what he thought to be the wishes of
his board and others that power be centralized
in the administration.
Seibert referred to reports that the
Board of Regents was studying a report that
would divest the faculty (at Sangamon it
would also mean the governance syste~;) of
determinative authority it had long held in
the areas of academic recruitment and curriculum,
.he asked "does the Board really
mean to impose on SSU conditions of operation
more oppressive than those of many
traditional institutions pub1 ic and private?
Seibert warned that it would not be able
to do the things that it had said would be
done- because of "the sweeping powers. that
the (revisions will obviously give thb administration."
"We have already had a series of actions
that endanger our ability to do it." said
Sei bert .
Senator Horsley however said k consid- .
ered the running of an imtfmtfon the
same as runni~p ab mrporation and called
for s t m
readership from Spencer in the
mmring of the university%
"Certainly you have to Tisten end take

Horsley conceded that he might
stumbled in attacking the university have last LLCC Board
year but also said the university may have
stumbled to since "the people are rather
disenchanted" with the university."
Aging former assemblyman Francis Budinger,chairman
of the board at Springfield
College in I1 1 inois- returned to Sangamon
to warn "of the deviant amoung the facultv
candidates, the drug addict, the deviant,
and the homo."
He said private investigating agencies " Conce,rt
should be used to check of the backrounds
of potential emp1,oyees. Budinger said the
university was 'vulnerable to the oddball ."
A community member of the assembly accused
the university of social and political
indoctrination through its use of the
campus papers and speekers.
"The whole process of the university
is ti1 ted in favor of the cause of collectivism,"said
Borman. He warned that
either the university turns itself around
or it would wind up in the academic scrap
heapof other institutions of its kind.

A D vising
By Sean Sokolik
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN "INTERIM"
AND A ,"PERMANENT" ADVISER?
An. "interim" adviser is a faculty mem-
ber who is assigned to new students by the
Admissions office.The assignment is made
on the basis of the availability of the
facul ty member with as much considera tion
as possible given to the student's speci-
f ied program choice. A "permanent" advis-
er is the faculty member selected by the
student, with the faculty member's appro-
val and recorded on Form OR 302.
I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SEE MY ADVISER.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
The first thing to do is call your ad-
viser and speak to him/her or the faculty
secretary and try to arrange a mutually
convenient appointment. If your adviser
does not keep the appointment, write him/
her a note and explain why it is you want
to see him/her. In your note, also remind
your adviser of your past efforts to set
up an appointment and ask him/her to call
you to discuss your questions over the
phone.
DO I NEED TO ACCEPT MY ADVISER'S ADVICE?
No, "advice" at Sangamon State is intend-
ed to be just what the word says: informed
opinion intended to help you and which you
can accept or reject. It seems to me that
a good relationship with your adviser
would be based upon a mutual search for
full information and in only a few cases
would there arise a question about your
accepting or fejecting your adviser's ad-
vice. Where you decide to reject the ad-
vice in such incidences, you incur a
greater burden in justifying his position
since your adviser's support for the ac-
tion may then be lacking.
HOW DO I GO ABOUT FINDING OUT WHAT ARE MY
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS?
The new edition of THE GUIDE TO SANGAMON
STATE UNIVERSITY is now available. It sum-
marizes the graduation requirements for
all students, whether undergraduate or
graduate and whether the student entered
SSU before or during the Fall 1971 Quarter
Many program committees are also now pre-
paring more detailed statements as to
their expectations for their students. Af-
ter consulting these sources of informa-
tion, get together with your ad3ser and
make sure that the two of you have the
same understanding of your requirements.

chairman Robert Crowley, the faculty lead-

Crowley told the assembled faculty in
some ways the assembly had not been meeting
the concerns of the thus far disorganized
faculty .
Forming an organization, Crowley said,
would help the governance system to- work
by being something of a faculty senate in

While the faculty had shared its powers-
with students and membe~s of the community
the faculty had ignored its own tradition-

cident in which he was denied access to a

VIETNAM VETERANS ENTITLED TO TAX BREAKS
(CPS )--Servicemen who were in Vietnam
last year are entitled to some Federal
income tax breaks this f ibing season.
Vietnam veterans should check their
W-2 forms carefully before filing. Since
servicemen ao not have to pay taxes on
combat zone earnings they should pay tax
only on the total amount indicated in the
taxable income block on the W-2 rather
than in the Social Security (F.I.C.A.)
block.
Also Vietnam veterans receive an
automatic extension far filing. Their
returns will not be due until 180 days
after they leave Vietnam or, if they are
hospitalized outside the U.S. as a result
of Vietnam service, 180 days after release
from the hospital, whichever is later.

If, however, by some condescending quirk
of fate, McGovern did politic his way into
the nominating it would be the biggest up-
set since the Dewey-Truman race if he ac-
tually defeated the incumbent Nixon. It
is not a1 together inconceivable, though.
If the Viet Cong Summer offensive, rumored
since February, does sufficient damage to
the shakey Saigon government, if the twin
ITT scandals and the twin FHA scandals give
the demos the political mileage they hope
to get from them, and if Nixon succeeds in
alienating enough of the labor camp with
Phase I1 and enough of the intellectuals
by just -being Nixon, then McGovern has a
chance. There is, however, about as much
chance of this happening as of Martha
Mitchell getting a permanent case of laryngitis.
The political scene statewide is almost
as disgusting. Dan Walker's commendable
upset of the Daley machine was off set by
the sickening fact that Hanrahan also upset
it. Walker also showed an acute knowledge
of the fuel that makes the political
machine run, spending nearly twice as much
on his campaign ($1 million) as Simon
did. While Simon used his television time
to discuss his positions in some depth,
Walker saturated the tube with spot .announcements.
Despite his hard fought
battle, Walker's victory was, nonetheless,
a shallow one, since it is doubtful that
he can make a similarly respectable showing
in his contest with Ogilvie. Newsweek
and the Stx Louis Post Dispatch both contributed=?
ker's upset to a great degree
to the cross-over vote of Republicans who
didn't want to see an Ogilvie-Simon race.
When those voters cross back over to the
Rep~blican~ticket in November, it will be
a brodinagian task for the ex-attorney
from Montgomery Wards to defeat the incumbent
Ogilvie.
So, barring any unforeseen events like
California sliding into the ocean, it looks
as if we can start preparing right now
for four more routine years with Nison and
Ogilvie. All in all, the next four years
would be a good time to take up a temporary
residence in Poland--permanently.

Legislative Analysis
BY Lra Teinowi tz
I (STATE) with over a quarter of Illinois'
legi-slators not returning after the November
elections, and three party leaders
among them, the lame duck session' of the
General Assembly which convenes Monday,
will probably be the scene of constant
power jockeying, and could degenerate into
anarchy at any second.
Legislative leaders hope to restrain any
disharmony, and hold the length of the
session to a quick six weeks, adjourning
around June 1 in plenty of time for fall
election campaigning. But that plan requires
the efforts of aql the legislators-a
chancy proposition even in normal years
of the legislative session.
For a variety of reasons, 1972 is anything
but normal. .
Reapportionment of legislative districts,
combined with an increased legislative workload,
and a few primary .losses will force
47 of the present 176 state representatives
out of the house, and 14 of the 57 senators
outof the senate, although 17 of those
leaving will be running for higher office.
Reapportionment will also force every single
legislator who wishes to remain to
run for reelection in November, a once in
10 years occurrence.
a
third of the state senators ru ly#ly every two
years.
Last year's pressures from the Governor,
and party leaders, which forced legislators
to enact i lied cqnsent legislation,
ethics legisla t$n , and the transportation
bond issues are also expected to make
this year unusual.
Legislative tempers, now une~bCkd
by worries about winning the next e ection
will have their opportunities for revenge
in this session.
Many of the legislators who are quitting
are senior 1 egislators--those in office
over three or four terms. Those legislators
are also very unhappy about how they
were forced to vote for a state income tax.
The loss of the three leaders, House
Majority Leader Henry Hyde, R-Chicago, Assistant
Majority Leader George M. Burditt,
R-LaGrange, and Senate Assistant Minority
Leader Robert Coulson, R-Waukegan as we1
as the expected judgeship for Senate As k
sistant Majority Leader, Robert Cherry, D-
Chicaqo, will also encouraqe potential
party-leaders to seize control of an issue
and show their strength now.
The session, according to the leaders,
will be routine. The new constitution requires
annual budgeting , and annual
sessions, and the main purpose of

ership.
Within the first four days the legislature
must OK the Governor's amendatory
veto of a bill board bi 11, which would
prevent signs near interstate highways.
The bill, which is highly unpopular and
which coincidently has been strongly lobbied
against by state billboard interests
is the only way the state can get over $35
million in federal road funds. If the legislature
fails to concur, the state loses
the aid.
Later the legislature will consider the
school formula aid, a subject so controversial
that the Governor refused to disclose
his proposed level, when he sent his
budget to the legislature. The formula
aid determines exactly how much each elemehtary
and high school receives from the
state. The legislature, could easily vote
more money than the Governor wants and
put him'in the position of cutting school
aid just before the election.
Legislators have also been receiving
many complaints about fines levied by the
I8llution Control Board, an agency set up
by the Governor. There is currently a
move to restrict the board's powers,. which
would embarrass the Governor.
Finally, public aid costs which have
skyrocketed, and which enjoy the enmity of
many of the retiring legislators, could
turn out to an issue. Last the appropriation
passed the hou~e after considerable
dlbate,. This year it .could be in trouble.

Chaired by Sangamon State prof ess,or
Stewart Anderson, the ten man task opened
the first of two public hearings on the
institutions shortcomings as part of a MAKE A LAMP

Student Don Schram told the panel he was
upset by the administrations "power grab"
at the end of last quarter removing all

si ty Assembly.
A second year student at SSU Schram said
having the title of charter student meant
he had the chance to be either a guinea
pig or a builder in the school.

Sociologist Dan Knapp told the' panel
that having the university bog down in a JN OUR ALL NEW

a growing bureacracy was becoming more of
a problem for society.
"Bureacracy is an organized system of
irresponsibility," said Knapp.
Others at the sparsely attended meet-.
ing were concerned that the new and inno-
vative university would be made to jump
through the "hoops" of the NCA in order
to achieve accreditation designed for
other schools.
Concern was expressed at the meeting
over the lack of repeating courses and a
course catalog.
