Students May
Be Asked To
Boycott
After having some difficulty
in establishing the two-thirds
quarum required for a meet
ing, the Student Government
Association began its meeting,
Wednesday, Feb. 25.
The first of four proposals
presented to the legislature
concerned the reducing of
rooming fees in Green, Jones,
and Taylor Dormitories to pay
ments substantially lower than
those for rooming in Beam
Dormitory. This proposal was
defeated by a vote of 8 against,
7 for the proposal, and 4 ab
stained. The SGA’s vote in this
ease will serve only as student
opinion for the Administration
which will make the final de
cision.
Next, the SGA voted, posi

wide referendum on Viet Nam
during the week of March 3rd.
The SGA’s part in sponsoring
this referendum will primari

of the student body to vote.
Allen Clement, a representa

proposed that the administra

of Green and Taylor Dormitor
ies being furnished with addi

telephones. This proposal was
passed unanimously for con
sideration by the administra
tion.
Then, with the help of two
Green Dormitory students and
a petition signed by all of
Green’s men, the SGA passed
