The Day Student Constitution
was approved by the Executive
Board last week. Kenneth O’Con
nell, president of the organi
zation, asked the board for $50
from the General Fund to help his
group with Homecoming and
other activities during the year.
He explained that the day
students have already spent $7 on
their Homecoming candidate.
The rest of the proposed fund was
to be used to help arouse interest
among the some 700 members of
the organization. O’Connell
explained that they have planned
to issue a directing mail news
letter. Dr. Bennett pointed out
that it would cost approximately
$42 to mail these letters. This
would leave about $1 for paper
and printing.
The question arose as to
whether or not the money would
do any good or as Steve Dollar
expressed it, “Does the means
justify the end.” The board final
ly approved a motion by Dollar to
request the day students to bring
a tentative budget before the
board.
“Money is the root of all evil,”
and the root of confusion for the
crusading exec board. The CCA

Committees Set
Campaign Events
The presidential campaigns
and elections are the basis for
several events sponsored by the
Student Awareness and Student
Center committees.
A panel discussion on the presi
dential candidates will be held
at 8 p.m. Oct. 29, in Hardy
Alumni Hall. YRC and YDC
will sponsor faculty members to
represent their candidates. Sup
porters of The American Inde
pendent Party, who wish to rep
resent the party, are to contact
Dean Lozier.
Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 are the
dates for a campus-wide mock
election.
On Nov. 5, election night, the
Student Center will remain open
until there is definite indication
as to who the next president of
the United States will be. Re
freshments will be served by
the Student Center Committee.

member Paul Land, asked for
$100 from the General Fund. The
CCA is required to present four
convocations a year. The fall
speakers have been taken care of
but the group needs money for a
spring speaker. Dollar summed
up the discussion in his
statement: “Give them the $100.
We could haggle over this all
night.” His statement turned out
to be a prophecy. The CCA’s re
sponsibility to present the convo
cations was questioned. Paul
Latta asked, “How can the ad
ministration require us to attend
l^»se convocations and then
expect us to pay for the speaker.”
The CCA did not get the money.
The mighty financial wizards
placed the handwriting on the
wall for organizations. Private
banquets, a thorn in the thumb of
the exec board all year, were
brought under consideration. The
final decision eliminated all
private banquets which were
paid for by student funds except
other than the annual SGA
Executive Board Awards
banquet.
Homecoming Queen elections
were scheduled for Nov. 6 and 7.
Several requests were made
including inquiries into the clock
situation, plans for Hardy Alumni
Hall, and invitations for com
mencement.

Department are good sports and definitely seem the foundation
for ACC’s UMPH, UMPH. (Staff Photo by Jeff Chase)
Revised Clause
Defines Quorom
By JOYCE COPELAND
The Day Students received
official approval of their con-
sitution during last week’s
Executive Board session. The
approval was the climax of a long
struggle to mold the day students
into workable organization.
There was some confusion in
the past as to the qualifications of
being a day student. _
Fraternity members and
students living in approved off-
campus housing were uncertain
as to their status.
The new constitution
eliminated this problem. Day
students are defined as students
who do not reside in college-
owned housing. Thus frat
members and students in college
approved housing are day
students.
The new constitution defines a
quarom as 1-25 of the mem
bership. The members of the
organization number ap
proximately 700; therefore, about
28 people constitue a voting
assembly.
Psychology Club
Sponsors Visits
During the second meeting of
the semester for the Psychology
Club, visits and tours were plan
ned of several mental institutions,
particularly a trip to the institute
at Butner, which has been sched
uled for this semester.

spring break, include three - day
visits to ihe School of Social
Work at Richmond Professional
Institute; St. Elizabeth’s Hospi
tal, Washington, D. C.; and the
National Institution of Mental
Health in Bethesda, Md.
The club also adopted plans
for a tutoring service for area
high school students under the
direction of Mrs. Emily Dickson.
