EDITORIAL
A Lot To Say This Week
Events this week dictate a scatter-gun approach. There are a
number of events (or lack thereof) which deserve comment, so
bear with us.
Maybe They’ll Tell Us On The Ballot
Senate
: effectively ended any chance
for the Senate to pass any
legislation this year, as the
process for doing so now
requires more days than the
present Senate has left in
j office. “Frankly,” Meek
Senator Lin Thompson,
author of the vetoed bills, “I
don't understand the
President’s attitude. Her veto
reflects inadequate study of
the constitutional basis for the
Senate’s action, and her claim
that we didn’t try to consult
' the Cabinet just doesn’t hold
water. I sent a message by
way of the Vice-President the
week before I introduced the
bill inviting the President’s
input, and she never
responded.”
^^McCabe And'
Mrs, Miller^’
This Week
We remember with some fondness a little habit acquired
through the years, that of wandering into the Student Union two
or three times a day to see who had self-nominated for what and
watch the races shaping up. As of this writing, however, this
pleasure has been denied to us all, as if the slot in that little box
in Student Life Services was crunching up the forms.
It just strikes you as a little funny self-nominations have been
open for days and our Elections Board has decided its unhealthy
to let us know who the candidates are. Maybe they’ll tell us on
the ballots...
And while we’re asking embarassing questions about
elections, heres one more: if you assume that the Elections
Board (much like the phone company) is ommipotent and
unaligned, why then was it the Cabinet whch conducted that
little seminar on Election Rules Monday night ?
Whereas My Two Bucks?
Speaking of who is holding what, another little spring ritual
seems also to have bitten the dust. Remember how PIRG used to
offer you a two-dollar refund twice a year? Apparently they’ve
been so busy they’ve let it slip their minds. Convenient thing,
having the possible return of $2100 slip your mind.
The College Union Board
Film of the Week will be
“McCabe and Mrs. Miller”
with Warren Beatty and Julie
Christie.
Robert Altman’s vision of
life in the Wild West casts
Beatty as an enterprising
saloon keeper (in a town
being built before your eyes)
who strikes a business part
nership with the equally
enterprising Christie, a mada
with a flair for profit.
7 p.m. in Avinger. Ad

BSU Choir
Festival
A choir festival, sponsored
by the Black Student Union,
has been set for 2-5 p.m.
Saturday on the steps of the
Occasionally We Say Something Nice 'S' ?v'ery“2
and Sin,” will feature the
Black Student Union Gospel
Choir and other local choirs,
including the Bethlehem
Intermediate Choir, the
Laurinburg Institute, the
Ebony Harmonizers and the
Bethlehem All-Male Choir.
Just so you dffli’t think we’re being unduly pessimisstic,
antagonistic and uiflammatory, we do have something nice to
say. That’s about the Extravaganza, which certainly deserves
notice as the best planned and executed event of the year to
date. Credit should be heaped upon the Extravaganza
Committee, who kept Beer, Bands, and Pig coming for as long
as anybody wanted.

Degrees To Be Awarded
At Convocation
Student Life
Meeting
with well-trained people.”
The idea of an experimental
group of freshmen suites was
discussed, but not approved,
by the Committee. “I favor
freshmen suites,” said Dr.
Leslie Bullock. Bullock stated
that such suites have been
shown to decrease the rate of
dropouts and increase
retention during the freshmen
year. It was made clear,
however, that such an ex
perimental group would have
to be large enough to make
the study worthwhile, and to
arrange for such a large
group might require some
type of recruiting effort which
the Committee wanted to
avoid.
Claytor said that the
requests for information on
some type of reshmen suites
were running about ten per
cent of the total prospective
freshmen.
The meeting followed up
last week’s called meeting,
which dealt primarily with
the question of Resident
Assistants, and preliminary
discussions of the Freshman
suite issue. The concept of
returning to the hiring of a
second residential staff
person for each dormitory
was endorsed with the
provision that care be taken
not to interfere with Student
Government functions.
The Committee also
received, for a first reading, a
proposed set of judicial
changes, heard sub
committee reports on the food
service, and discussed the
remainder of its rigorous
meeting schedule.
Scotland, who received a
Doctorate of Humane Letters
(L.H.D.).
The awarding of four
honorary doctorates at one
time is unique in the history
of St. Andrews. It is due to the
long lapse since the last
doctorate was bestowed. Such
an occasion will not likely
happen again.
Dean Crossley has stated
that hopefully the Honors
Convocation will be expanded
next year to include out
standing students not only
from the academic side of St.
Andrews, but from social
achievements as well.
The college will follow an
abrieviated class schedule
during the day of the Honors
Convocation.
