The final event of Homecoming 1962 will be a dance in the class room building immediately follow ing the game. hearing the minutes of the last meeting, Jeff Adams, president called for the agenda. The first item presented was a discussion and vote on a homecoming queen candidate to represent the Co-op board. It was decidcxi that since all constituent members separate ly sponsored a queen it would be impractical to have a candidate from the Co-op. Thus it was moved and carricd that no homecoming queen be sponsored. Editorship of the “Bulldog” was the second item presented; Pete Warren, administrative representa tive, petitioned the board to ap>- point two co-editors of the "Bull dog” and begin work on said pamphlet immediately to avoid the summer school rush. A plan for modernization and revamping of this booklet will be financed by the incorporation of some college administration information and ad vertisement in its content. The point system problem placed third on the agenda: Sandra Freed man acknowledged severe opposi tion to an increase of point hold ings and or grade requirements for an excess of activity points. Hence the present system must bo strict ly enforced to insure proper ad herence to the orginal enactment. Club presidents will receive forms on which to acknowledge mem bers, etc. Mr. Warren announced that he could find no official record of the point system excepting its tab ulation in the “Bulldog”. Accord ing to Mr. Warren it is not in the constitution. Mickey Hayes ai>- pealed for a certain standard of petitioning the board for excess points and Peggy Bivins questioned the entire purpose of the point system as to its original purpose. Hatton Hodges pointed out that the whole problem of excess points was centered around the six major offices on campus, i.e. Editor of the Collegiate, PresidMit of the Co-op., etc., and any legis lative changes should be directed around these offices. Bob Stone called for further study and the discussion was then closed. The final item on Monday’s agenda was presented by J. Kel ly Adams who called for the crea tion of a “dead week” prior to each exam week. This motion was accepted as effective spring se mester and clearly passed the board on a majority vote.
