(Photo by Jim Lowery) 1969-70 SGA Executive Board Holds Final Meeting OF Term The Executive Board in session Monday, April 7 passed a resolution urging Congressman L. H. Fountain to support legislation which would lower the voting age to 18 years. The resolution was introdued by Sophomore President Jim Abbott who argued that the issue was one to which the Executive Board should address itself. His resolution stated that a democracy is founded on the principles of suffrage which provide for the individual a peaceful voice in government. It also stated that young people “are better educated and better informed on the major issues of our time than any other segment of the citizens.” The resolution resolved “that the Executive Board of the Atlantic Christian College Student Government Associ ation does strongly endorse and support the lowering of the age of qualification for voting to 18 years of age and does strongly urge the Hon.

While at St. Elizabeth’s on Monday, the group had a tour of the grounds, visiting many of the buildings, many of which date back to the Civil War. One of the newer buildings at St. Elizabeths is the Maximum Security Building commonly referred to as the John Howard Building. It is here that the criminally insane are committed for observation and therapy. The class was fortunate enou^ to visit one of the wards in John Howard. Falling very short of the class’s expectation, those patients with whom we visited seemingly were not as “mentally ill” as many of the people we come in contact with day by day. Upon leaving the John Howard Building, the class visited the Occupational Therapy Unit of the hospital. It is in this unit that patients receive Physical Therapy and training which enables them to compensate for a physical disability which they may possess. Included in this unit we find an array of gadgets that allow the patient to perform daily routine tasks. The following day, Tuesday, the class visited with the Richmond Department of Social Services. Included in this department were welfare, child adoption, family services, aid to the blind, and aid to dependent See PSYCHOLOGY Page 4 United States.” An amendment by Student Co-ordinator Harold Herring stipulated “that 18 years olds also be legally liable under law.” The resolution passed without opposition.

A moveable partition will also be installef for closing-off part of the main lobby. The first floor will contain the resident counselor’s apartment and the guest room. One elevator and two staircases lead upstairs. Small sitting areas will be placed on the landings of the staircase facing Leigh Street. All laundry facilities will be found on the second floor. The rooms are arranged in suties, with four room,s or eight women, sharing a bathroom. Each bathroom contains two showers. The rooms open onto terrances built into the building. Corner terrances serve two rooms while side terrances will accomodate three rooms. Sliding glass doors will provide access to the terraces. Although carpeting is still under consideration, the sliding glass doors will be equipped with drapes. Woman will sign up for the new dorm in the regular manner by drawing numbers.
