the Novembei; 18,1976 Volume XII No. 7 Asheville, N.C. 28804 Senators Chosen By CHRIS MANGUM S.G. Correspondent The students went to the polls on Wednesday, Nov. 10, and voted for one Freshman, one Sophomore, and one Dorm senator; also on the ballot was an S.G. survey concerning the Campus Commis sion on Student Services Funds. Steve Eller was elected by a good majority for Freshman senator, with 45 votes; the nearest competitor had 15. In the Sophomore race, it was close with the dorm students giving it to Chris Mathis 22- 18 over Vickie Tucker. In the Dorm elec tion, Amy Spanel came away the winner with 58 votes; the nearest opponent was Bill Adams with 41. As for the S.G. survey, the question was, “Which agency would you rather see allocating student activity funds?” The Student Government won that with 108 for S.G. and 54 for the Commission. All in all, the turnout was good in the dorms with 143 dorm students voting out of a possible 190-200. The story was dif ferent with the commuters, though, with only 45 commuters voting. Once again the Senate has a full house. FACULTY HEARS PROPOSALS A Symposium on Collective Bargaining was scheduled at the University of North Carolina at Asheville Friday, Nov. 12 in the Carmichael Humanities Lecture Hall. Sponsored by the Faculty Senate at UNC-A, the program was open to both the university community and the general public and featured three panelists repre senting different points of view. The panelists included Dr. Alvin Hooks, professor in the Department of Administration and Supervision in Higher 'Brown Case' A decision concerning the judication of the Brown case was reached in the Student Senate meeting of November 11. The decision was to allow the case to go to the Judicial Board, which according to the Constitution has original jurisdiction, instead of establishing a special hearing panel composed of members of the Senate and the Judicial Board. A bill allocating $200 to the Campus Women’s Alliance was tabled due to the disorder of the S.G. account books. A bill allocating a total of $500, disbursed to six organizations, was passed. The amount of $500 had been approved earlier, in the original budget. A proposal for a Constitutional amend ment creating an extensive judicial system was tabled. In the meeting of Nov. 4, Dean of Stu dents Paul T. Deason spoke to the Senate, explaining the proposed Campus Commis sion on Student Services Funds. After the meeting a resolution was passed unani mously requesting President Kindley to call a special meeting of the student body to discuss the matter. The bill concerning the establishment of an Interdorm Council was voted down due to confusion as to the powers of the proposed Campus Commission and the role of the Student Senate in dorm matters. An allocation of $200 was granted to the Cheerleaders, much less than their request of $1,600 because of the disorder of the S.G. account and the fact that the actual balance of the account is unknown. Education at Appalachian State Univer sity; Dr. Rachel Baumer, retired from the faculty at the University of Hawaii, and Dr. William Murphy, a member of the faculty of the UNC-Chapel Hill Law School. Dr. Hooks pointed out advantages he felt could be derived from a campus col lective bargaining agreement. Dr. Baumer cited disadvantages and possible hazards that might result from such a collective bargaining agreement. Dr. Murphy pro vided an objective estimate of the prob ability, or likelihood, that a particular ad vantage will occur. Friday’s symposium was an outgrowth of a discussion last spring by the faculty on the possibility of holding a straw vote on the question of collective bargaining. The senate later asked the Institutional Development Committee to provide some sort of informational program on the issue before such a vote might be held. Preceding Friday’s open-to-the-public meeting, the three panelists spoke at a din ner meeting of the faculty and their wives Thursday at 7 P.M. in the Grace Restaurant. Movies To Be Resumed By RANDY LUQUIRE As many students know, the last regu larly scheduled movie shown was Break out on October 13. On October 20, Cooley High was shown also, but it was not a scheduled film. Since that time, for one reason or another. Walking Tall, Jeremiah Johnson and Mark of the Devil have been cancelled. This article will disclose all that has surfaced since the last article on the same subject appeared. (Nov. 4 Ridge- runner, pg. 7). The SG movies are handled through Swank, a movie distribution company that specializes in college film programs. A phone conversation on Monday, Nov. 7 with Randy Brooks, representative for the New York office, revealed that Cooley High had not been returned to the company on time and that Walking Tall as well as Jeremiah Johnson had been sent to UNC- A in time for the scheduled show date. Despite the fact that the movies were not shown, the bill for them would have to be paid, as Swank had lived up to their obli gation of getting them, to us on time. Showing them was our responsibility. Mr. Brooks also stated that the cntract had been cancelled by Raye Brown start ing with Mark of the Devil. Mr. Brown, ex Finance Commissioner, had signed the contract in August. When asked if the con tract could have been put in another name, Mr. Brooks responded by saying, “No” another would have to be drawn up. Mr. Brooks said the reasons Mr. Brown gave for the nullification were numerous, but the important one was that Mr. Brown could not be responsible for the films or guarantee payment, so he wanted his name removed from the contract. When asked about this, Raye Brown replied: “I was the one responsible for them. (Films) If I will not be responsible for them if I’m not in charge. No way. I couldn’t be responsible for his (Swank’s) films.” 22 Seniors Receive ''Who's Who'' Nominations By JEAN HUTCHISON Recently, 22 UNC-A seniors were nom inated for Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

FISHER SELECTED EDITOR By FORREST REID On Wednesday, November 3, the newly formed UNC-A Publications Board con vened to select the Editor for the 1976-77 volume of the Summit. After interviewing three applicants for the position, (Raye Browne, Tony Fisher, and Jean Hutchin son), the Board selected Tony Fisher for the position. Fisher, is 21, and a native of Brevard, N.C. His parents currently reside in Ros- man, N.C. He graduated in 1973 from Kendrick High School, in Columbus, Georgia and enrolled at UNC-A for the 1974 fall semester. He is a Literature major and is due to graduate in May of 1977. Fisher was a staff member for Images during the 1975-76 academic year, and is currently Student Assistant to the UNC-A Public Information Office. Coming into office at so late a date pre sents Fisher with a difficult job, but as he and other Summit staf" ^ -'va been planning the general tone and content prior to his selection of this year’s Summit, it is one he feels can be performed. Fisher intends the 1976-77 Summit “to present a broad spectrum of campus life in relation to the community and the Western North Carolina area. ’ ’ Since he has been at UNC-A for three years, he feels that he knows the campus well and can accurately represent all of its moods and aspects accurately. “I also told Kindley verbally that I had called Swank and informed them of what was going on here.” President Kindley replied: “I would re member any statement from Mr. Brown. I do not remember that one.” When asked if he had informed Pres. Kindley that he had cancelled the films, Mr. Brown responded that he had not. Another telephone conversation with Frank Krissi, the Swank representative in Washington, D.C. who is handling our account, yielded a bit more information. Mr. Krissi’s records show that Mr. Brown had cancelled the schedule starting with Jeremiah Johnson, not Mark of the Devil, (scheduled for Nov. 3 and Nov. 10, re spectively). Furthermore, he believed that Walking Tall had been sent back to Swank, although he was not positive. To summarize, it still appears that Walking tall was sent back instead of Cooley High. (This would be an easy mis take to make, as the film cannisters are not marked on the outside.) No records show that Jeremiah Johnson arrived, so the schedule was probably cancelled before that time. (None of the sources could tell me the exact date of the cancellation, but only that it had occurred.) The contract was renewed by President Kindley and resumes on Nov. 17 with The Reincarnation of Peter Proud to continue for the rest of the semester as originally scheduled.
