Social Science class forms political party for youth Pickets, peanuts, press pass es, politics, parties and puns set the atmosphere for the pre sentation of Sister Eloise's So cial Science II group's project, Feb. 28, in 607. Feeling a need for an alternative to the Re publican and Democratic po tential candidates for the 1968 presidential election, the 16 students formed a third party with emphasis on youth's re lation to the voting age and crime. Choosing the monkey as the party symbol and their theme We're evolving to something better, the Youth Party staged a formal international press conference, including re porters from the Soviet Union, France, England and the Unit ed States. The press conference opened 'The press box1 The following reporters participated in the first international press conference: TASS (Russian News Agency) Comrade Ivan Awfulitch Bartof (alias Dr. Russell Barta) London Times Le Monde New York Times Des Moines Register Chicago Tribune Chicago Daily News Chicago Sun-Times Washington Post Boston Globe John Birch Paper Wall Street Journal Christian Science Monitor Los Angeles Times San Francisco Chronicle The Skyscraper Interpreters Jonathan Wechtersby (alias John Wechter) Brigette U.

Eloise Thomas Nancy Kruse Russian Donna Michels French with a statement of the party philosophy delineating disen chantment with traditional in stitutions whieh no longer re flect the spirit and ideology prevalent within the country. The Party advocated the re moval of economic and politi cal subjugation, ignorance and technological restraints that hamper the fulfillment of the individual. The Party maintains that one means of alleviating po litical subjugation is to lower the minimum voting age to 18. Since many current foreign and domestic problems (i.e. Viet Nam, drugs, crime, unemployment) immediately concern youth, the Party de mands that the voting age be lowered so that the youth be given a greater voice in de termining policies which affect them. To substantiate this action, the Party cites that youth is more qualified than previously to vote at 18 because of in creased political acumen. Such awareness is brought about through expanded edu cational opportunities and in creased communication. Interest in crime, according to the Party, was sparked be cause of the failure of reform schools for rehabilitation of delinquents, the perennial un employment problem, unfa- favorable influence of a poor environment on youth and the diverse effects of drugs. To correlate these two planks, the Party assumes that since one-half of the popu lation is under 25 and they are aware of the problems im mediately affecting them, youth must have a greater role in saying what the politi cal decisions and policies should be. Give TV tor horse; artist lowers price The MSC now has approxi mately 300 of the 1000 need ed to purchase John Kearney's Horsepower. Horsepower, a 400-pound equine of welded steel bumpers, is currently dis played in the West parking lot. The artist donated 500 to the purchase of the horse last week, making the price of his sculpture 1000 instead of 1500. Joseph Kearney, Sr., a mem ber of the Board of Trustees, has promised to contribute 200 toward the acquisition of the horse if the MSC can raise an other 120 by Easter. Mr. Kearney is president of North western Heating and Plumbing. I feel that the 'Save the Horse' campaign has not lost its momentum since its initial kickoff, Feb. 14, remarked Gerry Kurtz, chairman of the Society for the Appreciation of Equines and newly elected president of the MSC. This success is due to the eagerness of all the committee workers and the support of all the contributors, she added. The deadline to register for the 300 colored television set is March 26. Tickets are 25c each, and the artist will choose the winner at a later date. Chairmen of the TV Committee are Monica Becker and Beth Pfordresher. Illinois Institute of Tech nology recently offered Mr. Kearney 2000, for his Horse power. However, he has de clined the offer. Approve merger (Continued from page 1) though the concentration al lows for a psychology speciali zation, a student need not ma jor in psychology within the concentration. Discussing the theory behind the social science concentra tion major, Dr. Russell Barta, sociology-political science de partment chairman, explains that in each of the fields there is an increasing aware ness of their mutual depend ence on one another. Also, this change is in keeping with the trend toward inter - depart mental work in the disci plines. The cutting edge in each of our disciplines is with those efforts to seek inter-dis ciplinary approaches. Evaluate Cultural Affairs The Cultural Affairs Committee is presently re evaluating its role and the feasibility of its programs. Lynn Appelt, junior rep- presentative, states that the availability of cultural events in Chicago, poor attendance at college sponsored programs and the production burden on the drama department are reasons for the current program's irrelevancy.
