UPSTART copes with
campus discontent
student.” All agreed, also, that
faculty-student cooperation was
needed in all areas.
The group had no official sanc¬
tion, but in the spirit of UPSTART,
students agreed to attend the
next senate meeting and work with
and through the existing univer¬
sity structure, to actively support
their ideas. As one freshman
said, "This is the first expres¬
sion. We’ve just begun.”
Caruso, when asked to comment
on the success of the meeting,
stated that he "hoped students
would continue to actively sup¬
port their interests or at least
make their feelings known. It’s
their university and it will be¬
come what they make it."
Caruso also expressed hopes
that students would take more
interest in intellectual affairs
and sponsor debates and semin¬
ars on things of interest to them.
New Morality
topic of seminar
"The new morality,” a term
that includes situation ethics and
natural law, will be the topic
of the latest Theology seminar
to be held Monday, Dec. 12, at
2:30 p.m. in the basement of
Villa Maria.
William Day, instructor of
theology, expressed the need for
a clarification of this new mor¬
ality that is being widely dis¬
cussed. He felt that the center
of this new morality is the im¬
portance and primacy of the
person.
Rev. LeRoy E. Clementich,
CSC, instructor of theology, and
Joan Alexander, instructor of
theology, will be the other panel¬
ists in this seminar Monday.
Nominations open for Homecoming Queen
The annual Homecoming Court
and all the pageantry involved
makes its humble beginning with
nominating elections Dec. 14-16.
In the initial nominations, students
may name any girl from their
respective classes for the '67
queen.
Four booths will be set up in
the Pilot House from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m., manned by members of
Sigma Beta. The final oppor¬
tunity to nominate will be Friday,
Dec. 16, before the booths close
at noon.
The three girls from each
class receiving the most nomina¬
tions will be candidates for the
Homecoming Court.
After vacation, from J an. 4
through 6, one candidate will be
elected from each class. In
order to get a fair representa¬
tion of student opinion, Sigma
Beta members will go from door
to door in all the dorms to ob¬
tain votes. A booth will also
be set up in the PH for the day
students. Students must vote
only for one of the candidates
from their own class.
General campus elections will
be held Jan. 16-18, as Sigma
Beta again covers the dorms. In
this election, students may vote
for any one of the four candi¬
dates for queen.
A professional photographer will
provide pictures of the candidates.
In the voting, in case of a tie,
the counters will flip a coin for
the final decision.

Concerning the faculty and dis¬
content with classes, a hiring
board was proposed to give the
students a say in the type of
teacher hired by the university.
It was generally felt that teacher
evaluations should be published

"Basic spirit is going to be
pride in UP, stirred up through
intellectual atmosphere,” com¬
mented Tom Caruso, Beacon edi¬
tor and chairman of Project UP¬
START.
Project UPSTART, sponsored
by the Beacon, began last Fri¬
day as a possible step to cope
with the "prevalence of discon¬
tent” on campus. Some 200
students, and a handful of pro¬
fessors attended the open forum.
In his opening remarks, Caruso
stated that what was missing on
campus was a "feeling of pride,
or lack of justification for being
at UP.”
SEVERAL HUNDRED STUDENTS attended the Beacon forum, PROJECT UPSTART, Friday, Dec. 2.
During the two-hour meeting, the students discussed topics ranging from student apathy to abolishment
of dorm hours. Another PROJECT UPSTART meeting is planned today, at 1 p.m. In the Pilot House
Lounge. — . photo by Lamvik
As the open discussion pro¬
gressed, topics ranged from dorm
hours to the students' responsi¬
bility to "how to fire a priest."
One professor in attendance
remarked that the “idea that it
is not the students’ job” to
make something of his univer¬
sity is "obsolete." In contrast
to this, one student com¬
mented that it was the job of
the university and its organiza¬
tions to "show us interest.” It

PROJECT UPSTART reconvenes
A follow-up forum to Project UPSTART will be held today at
1 p.m. in the Pilot House lounge.
The meeting is scheduled to last no more than an hour with the
following agenda:
1. more liberal dorm rules (especially for freshmen)
2. students participating on faculty committees
3. more emphasis on intellectual life (seminars, debates, forums)
4. any suggestions brought up from the floor
Once the significant facts and opinions are aired, the choice
of continuing any action on these inquiries through the existing
senate structure (as suggested at the meeting last week) or by
creating a new structure will have to be made.
As a result of Project
UPSTART, for the first time
this year, students attended the
Monday night Senate meeting.
These thirty-five students took
part in the open discussion on
women's hours. Senator Ken
Turner will head a committee
to consider the frosh study hours,
find the majority opinion, and
evaluate its feasibility.
Bill Cloran brought two bills
before the senate concerning dis¬
posal of ASUP funds. The first
called for detailed accounts to
be given by all committees on
funds spent, and the second, asked
for a workable and practical plan
for disposing of such funds. Both
were passed with no objection.

ICC President, Larry LaRocco,
reported that the clubs were un¬
able to take charge of the con¬
cessions at home basketball
games due to a "disagreement"
with the fire marshal.
Monthly letters will be sent
out from the fraternities because
it is felt that these organizations
are not being judged fairly as
far as their contribution to the
UP campus.
ICC' also announced that the
freshman class will be sponsor¬
ing busses for the OSU game
this week.
ASUP Committee Chairman Dan
Rothwell reported that academic
and extra-curricular scholarships
are being held up by a lack of
funds. Department heads should
submit requests for these scholar¬
ships, and everything possible will
be done.
The new draft of the Consti¬
tution has been completed and
is now in committee for approval.
