Yesterday, in our editorial columns, we gave the College's citizens the reasons why the means for the expression of divergent opinions at the College should not be destroyed. In the editorial we discussed finances, competition and the role of the fee rise in the frank light of the facts. On this basis alone, a merger of OP and Campus was shown to have far too many "practical" disqualifying aspects.
In the discussions of the basic question, however, there has beesn much confusion. Let's clear this up before we go any farther.
The Observation Post is wholeheartedly in favor of the establishment of a daily newspaper. Let there be no mistake about this; we are all for a daily. But there is a joker in the deck and that is where the students have been given the fast shuffle.
OP firmly believes that two opinions at the College are healthier than one. We realize that this idea is cono-sidered antique, even obsolete by many who prefer uniformity of thought. OP, however, is made up of a bunch sf old fashioned people who still like to believe that there
are at least two sides to every question, and that each side is entitled to expression. This opportunity for the expression of variant opinions must not be sacrificed. It will be, if we have only one newspaper.
Today, in the election issue, there may be some cases of duplication of statements in The Campus, duplication which takes place only twice a year—in election and "first day" issues, the only times we publish on tttte same day. But, in many more instances, the free play of opinion will be in evidence. This difference of opinion, Democracy, is the heart of the matter.
We can have, and we want, a daily newspaper. But the democratic features must be preserved. This can be done by having OP and Campus publish on alternate days. Alternative 2B wffl establish this, rather than the "one newspaper, one opinion" set-up we oppose.
If you share our Jbelief th^t in order to fairly debate an issue both sides must be heard from, then you must vote against the establishment of a single newspaper

Editprud liolicy is detertnined by an Editoruil Board consisting vf the Managing Board, David Pfeffer, Selw&n Rabb, and Hank Stem.
This publication is supported in part by student fees.
Our Thanks Due to space limitations yesterday, we were unable
to present our thanks to the 741 students who signed petitions last Thursday to retain OP.
This excellent showing has proven to us that "student apathy," the devil on which all troubles are blamed, is not as widespread at the College as believed. Even if you don't consider the fact that many students were not in school Thursday morning, or did not receive a copy of OP; one out of every nine registered students at City signing their names within three hours is a tremendous demonstration of your opinion, and we cannot help but be grateful.
Thanks again, and remember to vote tomorrow.
OP Endorses SC President
For the office of president of the student government we are pleased to be able to endorse a man who not only possesses a knowledge of parliamentary procedure, but who has the ability to work with the rules and still get something done. MANNY HALPER is our candidate and his record of achievements stretches far and wide. His services to the College range from fixing the water fountains and instituting the inexpensive sale of sample final exams to his work on almost every constructive committee in the last few years.
He is conceded to be the most qualified candidate running, and indeed he seems the most qualified candidate we can remember. Combined with this is that intangible qualityof dyfcamism, that something which marks the man of deeds. If this were all, MANNY HALPER would be the best suited candidate iii this election, but he possesses still another vital trait: MANNY HALPER is that rarity, a well-balanced individual He can fully participate in Council's activities without becoming embroiled. He has -the growth necessary to keep all matters in -their proper perspective. He is serious about
his work but not about himself. -
On these three counts: qualifications, personal as dynamism and intellectual and emotional maturity we se believe MANNY HALPER to be the best candidate forf11
SC's presidency. We strongly reccommend his election
Vice-President In examining the candidates for vice-president we
fmd that ART PITTMAN is best suited to serve in this office by virtue of his qualifications and his personality We believe that of the three candidates, he is best matched for the sensitive liaison work necessary in this position, and by standards of experience ART PITTMAN also seems the logical choice. He is a level-headed, intelligent candidate and he will more than capably handle the

Secretary c* ^ ? ! , p p o r t s ^ R A M BERNSTEIN for the office of Student Council Secretary. He possesses both the willingness to work and the ability to handle this arduous position^ He is not a man who will make his presence felt by words alone; he is a man who will make his mark by actions. While his opponent claims many qualifications we findI him^eminently unqualified by the aforementioned standards. We endorse ABRAM BERNSTEIN.
Treasurer OP is glad, and we might add surprised, to find a
qualified candidate running for the major post of Treasurer. Too often in the past we have been unable to pick the lesser of evils and have merely withheld endorsement for this office. It is with pleasure that we extend OP's endorsement to HOWARD LOEWENSTEIN an ex tremely qualified and mature individual, who' we be-

Page Six THE OBSERVATION POST Thursday, December 17. 1553,
Statements of the Candidates President
PMI Letter I'm not going to promise you
anything and everything under these Gothic walls as has been done. Too many politicians make too many promises before elections they later find too impossible or too difficult to ac-comiplish. What I can in all sincerity d«, is give you my record and tell you what I stand for.
I have been on the Student Council, the NSA delegation, an officer in House Plan, and on the Carmval Committee. I am e, Varsity member of this term's Metropolitan Championship Soccer Team, in addition to having been, on the Executive Board of the Athletic Association, l a {jhort, I've had diversified experience in S t u d e n t Council, House Plan, arid in athletics, stretching over a period of sisc years, in both the Day and Evening Sessions.
Some of the .thmgg that I stand for .include: eliminating final exams for seniors, direct representation on S t u d e n t Council from TIIC, HP, and the AA. I am diametrically opposed to a suggestion by one of my opponents th$t. would in effect disband the Athletic Association.
Two of the most important jobs next terms President will have to face, are, that of pre
paring the Iransferrul of Student j Activities to Manhattanville, i and that of accepting the pres- j idential report which co'ls for! more student self-government! (when accepted by the General i Faculty), and applying it in a j mature way. I alone of the j Presidential candidates, am in j favor of immediate implementation of- this report. So when you cast your ballot, vote for Phil Lotter for President of the Student Council.
Manny Halper Each semester during election
time, candidates pour forth myriads of ridiculous promises. For instance, our present President promised ten projects and has accomplished none of them.
I do not intend to do this. I will put forth my record and my opinions on major issues and let you decide maturely on the basis of the evidence at hand— not vague platforms.
One of the most important problems that the Council will have to face next term is academic freedom. To this end I have devoted a major portion of my college career. As President, I will defend the right of every individual, student, instructor and administrator to openly state his views and freely investigate ideas and information.
I shall revive the faltering social services of the Council such as the weekly film programs, scrutiny of facilities and student lobbying for a higher budget for the College.
As for the proposed merger of OP and Campus, I'm against it because I value the conflict of opinions that we have now with two papers. If both papers get one printer and manage their business affairs jointly, all of the benefits of merger can be achieved without losing its accompanying disadvantage— uniformity.
Vote intelligently.
Ira Kiosk The basic and most important
problem concerning students and our Student Government has been virtually ignored over the past several terms. That problem being: the students having very little, if any, respect for the Student Government. The reason for this is obvious. Up until the present semester, the "'Student Government" was in a small world all its own, where the "game" was run for the amusement of its inhabitants. This term's President has made the first long
stride to give Student Council back to the students.
However, much is still to be desired. I propose to make Council the body that will represent, serve, and cooperate with the students. You now have the opportunity to return Student Government to its rightful owners, the students.
In the past, referenda on the ballot have merely been construed by Student Council as public opinion polls. I maintain that this should not be the case. Since the Student Government is the instrument of the student body, it should regard all the motions voted on by the students in referenda as binding.
I am the only candidate who has taken a leading role in Stu dent Government during the past year. I will serve you with sincerity and diligence.
My record speaks for itself. Tomorrow you make the de
cision. Make a wise one.

Arnold Weingold I am asking you, the students

yas necessary though I do not hink that Student Council had he fright to pass it without irst referring it to the student ody in a referendum. A college teacher should be
llowed to teach any political
viewpoint as long as he oresents both sides of the question.
These, with the addition of greater representation ior the Tech students, represent my stands on the major election issues.

I win tomorrow, I will repay you the only way I know h o w - b v doing the best possible jom I am capable of. It does not end there, however. If you have a problem: whether you be from liberal arts or tech; whether it concerns the teams, the clubs or what you yourself feel about academic freedom, or what have you. Come and see me.
Election time is not the end of it. It's rather the beginning.
Once again, thank you. i

Understanding that you "just ant the facts," I present them )r your inspection: 1. I have been active on
!ouncil for the past three terms ny opponent hasn't bean near louncil since the spring of '52). 2. I have bee assistant secre-
ary of Council for the past two erms and have been secretary f the Inter-Collegiate Comm. n Academic Freedom, Young Lepublicans, Young Liberals, nd Club Senate. 3. I have served on mere SC 3. I have served on more SC
committees than anyone has ever done.
4. Rather than just mutter about the way "punk politicians" have ruined Council, I have fought them until they must use every trick to defeat me.
Abram Bernstein In my experience on Student
Council, on the campus, and in Hillel, I have come into contact with many City College . students who have little or no respect for Student Council, and do not think of it as their governing body. This situation
should be changed, and I propose to do it in this way:
1. Reorganize the Club Senate into a regularly meeting body that coordinates club activities and acts as the voice of the clubs on SC.
2. Encouraging the work of Student Council committees, and " getting both SC members and other students to participate on them.
3. Keeping the student body informed of the work of SC committees as well as of the Council itself.
Recently, newspapers have
I am running for Vice President because I am opposed to some of the practices of the present Student Council. Firs: the Student Council passed i By-Law on Civil Llbertie; which is supposed to reflect the opinion of the entire student body. This By-Law is of a very controversial nature and I am opposed to giving the Student Council the power to pgtss any resolution or By-Law which reflects the opinion-of the entire student body ^nd which possibly may reflect upoji them when they are graduated and seek employment or • entrance into graduate school unless the entire student body has a erendum on the issue.
I am opposed to giving Student Council the power to allocate student fees at the present time.
I believe that, the "Club Senate" should be abolished .because this body has developed into being "a back door into Student Council" for defeated candidates. I am opposed to yearly elections and I feel that it is incumbent upon the major officers of Student Coiincil to publish a monthly report on their accomplishments.
