'I Included
By AL COOKE
At the request of Sophomore
Class President Jim Abbott SGA
President Joe Wilkins called a
special meeting of the Executive
Board on Monday, Feb. 23.
Wilkins stated that it was Ab-
bott’s wish that the delegation to
State Student Legislature, ap
proved at the previous meeting,
be given further consideration.
It was not Abbott, however,
that was recognized for the
purpose of a motion but
Treasuer Kenneth O’Connell
who moved to reconsider the
delegation. Passage of that
motion re-opened the main
motion for debate. Harold
Herring moved to amend the
motion by substituting Judi
Brewer for Judy Youngblood
and by adding Larry Messer as
an eleventh delegate. Herring
insisted that he felt the original
delegation valid but agreed to
back down to provide for “more
equal representation.”
Abbott still expressed concern
for the number of seniors in the
delegation. Herring pointed out
that in his long range planning
he intended to set up a model
state legislature on campus later
in the spring. He felt seniors
would be an advantage at this
juncture. Abbott insisted that
the leadership of a senior would
be available for less than three
months. An investment in un
derclassmen be deemed wiser.
Junior Senator Joyce
Copeland pointed out that five of
the six seniors were on the
Executive Board. Soon after SSL
she said these persons should be
involved n training new officers
and that they will also need to be
concentrating on working on a
declaration of studennts’ rights.
She felt that they wouldn’t have
time to participate in a model
legislature on campus. Herring
said they wouldn’t have to spend
time writing bills.
