Rec Room Destruction Reaches All-Time High
kv Rnrmnohc r _f .> . . .
by Burroaghs
Game Room - Hamlin Student
Center - ACC. It is 12.00 p. m.
(noon). “The Young and the
Restless” has just begun, and
the entire campus stops for
thirt>’ minutes to escape from
the everyday pressures and
heartaches of college life by
watching someone else’s trials
and tribulations on the boob
tube.
There’s problems here
though that seem to hinder the
viewers of the episodic soap
operas; that is, if they watch the
stories in the game room in the
Student Center. The soap opera
audience must first prepare
itself for the distortion of sound
and color from the T. V. located
in the room, which by the way,
has been broken since the end of
the last spring semester. Sec
ondly, the audience must con
tend with the various noises
coming from people, pinball
machines, the fooseball table,
the pool table, and the ping
pong table. (The noise level,
although varying somewhat,
usually remains high.) In trying
to combat these odd noises, a
viewer just might turn up the
sound level a decibel or two,
thus increasing the overall vol
ume. The result - well, for me it
means a headache and the time
to make my exit has arrived.
Unfortunately, the broken T.
V. and the excessive noise level
are not the only problems that
must be dealt with. In talking
with a desk worker of the
Student Center, it was learned
the another problem existed,
the destruction of property in
the center by the students. This
destruction takes place in a
variety of ways;
Item One -The Ping Pong table
and paddles.

SGA Handles Regular Business
by Catherine Edwards
The SGA Senate met in the
Hardy Alumni Hall on Oct. 25,
1979. Under the issue of old
business, the Constitution and
By-laws Committee approved
the constitutions submitted by
Delta Sigma Theta and the Math
Club. Mr. Frazier reporting for
the Grievance Committee com
mented that in meeting with
Dean Joyner, the $15 parking
fee was justified. And a request
that no further action on the
matter was accepted. The exist
ence of a low wire at Hackney
Hall was to be investigated. Mr.
Frazier also introduced a reso
lution (R115) concerning exam
week in Spring, 1980. May 7,
1980 was clarified to be a
reading day and the resolution
was accepted by a voice vote.
Mr. Webb reported that he
had available to the Senate the
treasurer’s report from the fol
lowing organizations:Classes of
'81 and '82, Pine Knot. Publicity
committee, and the Collegiate.
Mr. CLyburn yielded the floor to
Mr. J.Fred Pearce. Mr. Pearce
expressed his concern for the
unconstitutionality of charge ac
counts for the Pine Knot and the
Collegiate. Mr. Pearce pointed
out that these publications arc
not able to purchase items from
the bookstore. Mr. Pearce also
stated that, at times if would be
less expensive to deal with the
college bookstore. An amend
ment concerning this issue was
to be written for the next Senate
Meeting.
The SGA met again on No
vember 8, 1979. Ms. Richey
reported that the Constitution
and By-Laws had reviewed the
by-laws of the Constitution and
recommended that a seperate
committee be formed to rewrite
said by-laws. After a discussion
led by Mr. Frazier the by-laws
were sent back to the committee
for review by voice vote. At the
time of this meeting three more
SGA funded oreanization.s had
responded to the budget report
requests. Those organizations
that responded are the Senior
Class, Cabinet, and Campus
Christian Organization. The En
tertainment and Student Center
Committee have not as yet
responded.
Under new business Mr.
Murphy informed the Senate by
memorandum that Terry Franks
had been dismissed as Chair
person of the Entertainment
