RiDeemiDDGRL senate ■0 rcvicw Lloyd^Malone One of the first things our new S6 Senate did was pass a resolution concerning faculty evalutioDS. It read: The Student Sen ate hereby cordially requests that the ad ministration inform the students via the S6, of the importance of stu dent evaluations of fa culty when used by the administration in ca reer decisions affec ting faculty members. One senator stated: "It gas already been proven that the forms are used selctively. If the administration wants to fire a faculty’ member, it uses all the bad forms against him." The Middle Earth So ciety's budget request was approved and UNC-A's outing club was given money to buy camping equipment, office equip ment, and first aid kits much of it atincreaiuic discounts. The equip ment is only 1 ended to members who are full time students. The UNC-A Veteran's association had Gary Aiken veto their bud get request, deciding they would raise the mo ney themselves that they needed to recruit veterans who are not taking advantage of schol astic veterans benefits. The Senate overhauled the Ridgerunner policy statement with a re solution concerning new ' staff members, which states "Theigerunner Policy statement has not been adhered to in the past with regard to the selection of new staff members...The perpetua- ting nature of the inter nal selection of the next year's Ridgerunner staff by virtue of the policy statement has caused considerable dif ficulties in years past, i.e. last years need for the Studfent Government President to formally file charges against the Ridgerunner Editor, and.. It has been recognized by the 1973-74 Student Senate that the present Ridgerunner Policy State ment is outdated and in need of immediate revi sion..." A conmittee was consequently formed to revise the state ment. Those members are; Dean Deason, Vice Chancellor Riggs, cur rent editor Leslie Deane, current managing edi tor, Larry Hill, Gary Aiken, Larry Earnst, Pat Hickey, and Christo- jDher Smith. The two faculty members are Dr. Ellis Shorb, and Dr. Hartmen. Chancellor Highsmith asked the Senate to par ticipate in UNC-A's Five Year Plan.

INS D^alsWith FOOD^ENERGY Saturday, April 19 and Saturday April 26 marked the ending of hours of preparation as twelve area High schools and their UNC-A student advisors participated in the annual Internation Sir^iulation (INS). Under Tom Zumberge the direction of Dr. Bahram Farzanegan and the Political Science Department, this pro gram has been very well received t>y teachers, school administrators, and students. Internation simulation is a simplified minia^ committees are to be established to inves tigate student services on the campus. They will look into the following areas: l)Stu- dent Government, 2)Me dia on campus3)Special Programs, 4)CAmpus Or ganizations, 5)Inter collegiate Athletics, 6)Intramurals and Re creation, 7)Student enter, dorms, and food, 8)the library and lear ning resources. A steer'- ing comnittee, headed by Dean Deason, will oversee the committees. It will consist of the chairmen of the 8 com mittees. These commit tees will consist of at least half students, to be appointed by the student Government President. All students interested in working on these committees should contact Gary Ai ken. Kathryn Poovey was accepted as the new full time SG secretary. The senate and Gary Aiken passed a resolution declaring the N.C. Legis lature's tuition increase .of $200.00 for In-state, and $300.00 for out of state students to be un bearable and unreasonable Petitions were passed out, and on April 22, a protest rally was held at Lipinsky. A student Organizations Committee was formed, which shall allocate funds on a first come first serve basis. However, the SOC shall make every attempt to collect and consider all requests within a deadline period con sisting of two weeks at the geginning of each semester. In view of the fact that Special Programs has helped fund a special speaker for graduation, Eleanor McGovern, the student senate respectfully requested that some other form of funding be solicited for the purpose of the gra duation reception. This review covers only the seven main meetings that have been held so far, and included none of the work done in comnit- tees. It is suggested that students coming to UNC-A in the fall take more interest in the senate and its affairs, especially in regard as to how the students money is spent and as to activities made avail able. r to hp*f workfhop Lloyd Malone The Asheville chap ter of Trout Unlimited net at UNC-A recently and planned a clean-up of the South Mills River. They will collect gar bage in large bags. Gar bage collectors will be set up at places along the river. The date for this projest is as yet unknown. If you are interested, contact Al an Marshall, at 254-8245. On May 9,10, and 11th Trout Unlimited will participate in the Moun tain Area Leadership Workshop.

During each simulation period, a world situa tion has to be resol ved through the use of national budgets, mili tary strategy plans, international organi zation meetings, con ferences, and most im portant of all the proper formation of foreign policy. The intricate web of shifting alliances and international politics provided the opportuni ties for high school and college students alike to interact with deci sion making under pres sure situations. The competition is tense, and serious, as the scen ario sets up a delicate balance of power between the six simulated nations of Algo (Israel), Bingo, (U.S.), Dorb,(India), Erga, (European Bloc), Yora,(U.S.S.R.) and Zena, (U.A.R.). Dealing with two world problems, energy and food, on April 19, Madison was cast as Al go, East Henderson, Bin go, Owen as Dorb, Er win as Erga, Pisgah as Yora, and T.C. Roberson as Zena. April 26 saw Asheville High, Enka, Tuscola, A.C.Reynolds, Hendersonville, and West Hendersonville in iden tical roles. The first simulation ended with an alliance between five or rne six nations and the des truction of Zena (T.C. Roberson). The second Saturday, Bingo (Enka) refused to use its nu clear weapons to break an embargo placed on it by Zena (West Hen derson) and the simu lation ended with an alliance between Yora (Hendersonville), and Erga (Reynolds), and Zena, (West Henderson). Preparation, organi zation, seriousness, and the continuity of for eign and domestic policy are among the criteria used in judging the simulation. Winners, and the countries they repre sented were announced at a banquet* held Saturday night. First week winners were co-champions Madison (Israel) and T.C. Roberson, (U.A.R.). The winners for the second week were co-champions Asheville High (Israel) and Enka, (U.S.). fiis year, the fourth year that Dr. Farzanegan has brought high schools to UNC-A to compete in the simulation-world was enhanced by enthu siastic response from the community withover $4,000 donated toward UNC-A schblarshijDS. Over 3,000 high school student competed, al lowing UNC-A INS to enrich the program through the use of computer facilities, and audio visual commu nications supervised by Bob Hayner of Learning Resources. Plans for the future of INS include simulation not only just between high schools, but inter collegiate competition. Interest from the State Department of Education is evident by their personal endorsement and contribution of $5,000 to pursue this learning experience. tuition increase explained On April 23,1975, the following indivi duals, interacting with the students, helped to unravel the mystery con cerning the proposed tuition increase:Repre sentative Jimmy Love, House committee on Ap propriations, Senator Ralph Scott, Chairman, Senate Appropriations Comiftittee, D.Livingston*.
