The actions of Berri- as shown in the film, ere based on his convictions egarding these questions: ould the value of draft files e placed higher than the value f human lives lost in Vietnam, d should one passively submit 0 an unjust legal system? Halfway through the showing f the film Tom Beason re flected on his own personal dealings with the trial, and an swered questions from the au- ience on Dan Berrigan and his rother Phil, who was also in- icted and cited as one of the leaders of the conspiracy. Mr. Beason stressed the Irregulari- ies of the pre-trial proceed ings —the serving of subpoe nas to defendants by FBI a- gents rather than US marshals; ’"e use of a John Doe subpoe- a which permits questioning 0 go beyond the boundaries of charges made; the dismissal ‘f charges against Dan Berri gan who was cited as a leader of the conspiracy by no less han the director of the FBI— J.

Last week a committee was formed to draft a recommen dation to the residence di rectors concerning the granting of permission for open suites. The proposal was presented to the Senate, and when it became known that only one dorm had been having any “hassle” It was decided that the proposal be filed for future reference. Eddie Smith, president of Orange Hall, suggested that Season tickets for the Hig- land Players’ 1971-72 season will go on sale Monday here. Prices for the tickets, which will be good for five plays and any experimental productions during the year are $3 for stu dents and $4.50 for anyone else. Tickets may be purchased from any members of the High land Players or from the Thea tre Office, Room 115. DR.

Ken Watkins, President of the Student Association, ex plained to the group the cur rent action by the Student Life committee. The committee had been given a mandate from the faculty to check into the situa tion of open dorms, and the new Student Life committee, with its new faculty members Dr. Donald Barnes and Dr. Bill Morgan, is acting on the man date as ordered. The proposal that dorms be open from 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Sunday, and from 8 to 11 p.m. on Fri day and Saturday was submitted by Dr. Barnes only as an open ing “trial balloon.” Dave Beale, president of Mecklenburg Hall, and Dean Decker proposed that both Dr, Hart, President of the College, and the whole Student Life committee have a joint meeting with the student Senate to discuss the issue. Jay Bender, Treasurer of the Student Association, presented the budget for the Senate’s con sideration. He explained that al though Dr. Hart and Dr. Davis, the college business manager, had appropriated an increase of $200 for the Student Associa tion over last year. The budget had yet to reflect an $1800 deficit which must be assessed from the various organizations, and paid this year. Jay said that he had tried to make sure most organizations got the money they thought they would need, and then announced that he would not sign any requisi tions that would put groups “in the red.” It was noted that money for refrigerator rentals received by the Cabinet would be applied towards the deficit. Questions raised about the bud get concerned 1) the great dif ference in the amount of money spent by the Mens’ and Wom ens’ Recreation Associations; 2) the increase allotted the Peace Corps; and 3) the amount allotted Farrago. Several Sen ate members objected to the purchase of trophies for intra mural sports. Laurie Ewart, di rector of the Peace Corps, de scribed the need for transporta tion and costs of their 14 on going projects. Randy von Un worth, president of Winston- Salem Hall, spoke of Farrago’s increased outlay for scheduled entertainers. The budget was unanimously approved. The following Is the budget submitted by Student Associa tion treasurer Jay Bender and approved by the Senate Monday night.
