No Tax — No Vote
Mr. Francello's amendment comes up again today after postponement from last Friday's assembly. From the lack of discussion about the
Campus concerning this legislation it seems that
there is either lack of interest or the complexity of
the issues involved makes a consideration too confusing. Perhaps a discussion of the issues now will
serve to straighten out thinking on this matter.
Under the present system according to the
constitution or custom:
1. "All regularly enrolled students of New York
State College for Teachers . . . shall become members of the association upon payment of the blanket
tax."
2. Only holders of tax cards receive the benefits from Student association activities and vote
in all association voting.
3. But non-holders of tax cards vote on resolutions and amendments in student assembly.
4. The non-holders then participate in one
type of voting (viva voce) but not in the other
(elections).
If Mr. Francello's amendment is passed:
1. "All regularly enrolled undergraduate students of New York State College for Teachers are
members of the association."
2. Only holders of tax cards will receive the
benefits accruing from them.
3. All students vote in Student association
elections and on assembly resolutions,
The entire issue, then, as we see it, boils down
to a financial one.
There is no need for the passage of this amendment. Any person who cannot meet the obligation
of payment of student tax can be excused from
doing so by presenting his case to Finance board.
All students who have not paid their tax, therefore,
become members of the Student association upon
the action of the Finance board, and all students,
therefore, can vote. Why, then, all the quibbling?
Moreover, if the amendment is passed, those who
have not paid the tax, will have a voice in the
disbursement of Student association funds. Is this
fair to those of us who have paid the tax? We
for one don't want our money spent by someone
who has no right to it.

Communications
To the STATE CUI.I.KIJK NKWH:
In reference to your issue of the NKWH on December 1, I would like to make the following comments
concerning certain remarks about Music council. As
concerns the Music council issue, I am unaware of
the position Music council itself has taken. I do
believe that the State college Symphony orchestra
should be given representation on that body. But in
accomplishing thai end, I do not think it should be
done to the detriment of the present Music council
set-up. Music council, even though it is a strictly
feminine organization, deserves unstinted credit for
what It has done to further the cultural life of State
college. To describe them as "poster-hanging women,"
as your editorialist does, is a rather uncalled for slap
in the face. There is much more to Music council
than poster-hanging if some people would care to
