That’s Entertainment
Eddie Essa is the latest
interim chairman of the Enter
tainment Conimiitee appointed
by Murphy. The plans for the
future: many smalt events, plus,
the rumor of a Spring Festival.
Burms Di\ ided by Court
The Grievance Commiitee re
ported to the Senate that the
mounds of dirt beside Waters
Hall are called burms. The
burms exist to provide land
scaping for the campus. The
general grievance from the
students has resulted in a
response - the Volleyball court
will be re-establisheci this sem
ester.
Exams Crammed
SGA cries out and the effort
fails to change the exam sched
ule for the 1980 spring sem
ester. Exams will be Monday
through Friday. May 5-9. with
no Reading Day or Break Day!
Senators Kay Richey (Jr.) and
Carl Frazier (Sr.) rushed a
combined effort to have a letter
from a majority of the Senators
to be read by Murphy at the
next board of trustees meeting.
The letter expresses extreme
concern over the stressful situ
ation caused by the exam
schedule. The letter represents
a hope to change the exam
schedules for both semesters
next year. If the board dws not
change the schedule...be pre
pared for Monday through
Friday exams next year too.
Co-op Request
The SGA Senate sent a letter
(rtthr Hnrntry- Ncnatc TeqtIC<;Ilng
better conimunication to exist
between the suggested student
appointee and the projwsod
committee. Students ha\e ex
pressed a leeling of inadequacy
at not being aware of their
positions and res|>onsibililies
when selected and asked to
serve on a faculty headed
committee that requires a stud
ent representative.
Old Idea Tried A|(8in
The Sophomore class officers
are attacking the red tape to
establish the Student Union
concept. The purpose of this
concept is to collect and com
bine the scattered efforts of the
Entertainment Committee, the
Student Center Committee, and
the Concert and Lecture Com
mittee. A great idea, maybe its
time has come. The sophomore
representatives deserve the
credit as we await the results.
The Mystery “D” Board
A special committee has been
established to finally complete
the unwritten Judicial section of
the SGA Constitution. I'he com
mittee members are: Mike
Wojcik (Fr.). Karen Bates (Jr.).
Tony DeCook (Jr.). Bob
Vartanian (Sr.). and chairman
Ken Finch (Sr.). These senators
will be responsible for the future
function, importance and stud
ent representation in the con
stitutional rights of ACC stud
ents such as in the Disciplinary
Board. The special committee's
legislation must pass the SGA
Senate and then must seek final
acceptance by the board of
trustees.
