pogt 6 THE LANCE March 24,1988 On Campus Reuschling to Consider Budget Proposal Seniors Eiect White, Fuller, Graduation Speakers Dave Snyder Dave Snyder President Tom Rueschling will con sider the request for more Student Associ- atin funding “probably sometime in late April." According to Deans Tom Benson and Bill Loftus, some increase "is undoubt edly going to be approved." In addition to an increase in funding, which in real terms has decreased steadily since 1967, Student Associaltion Treasurer Nathan West has requested a change in the way student funds are allocated. Currently, there is no distinction be tween the "student activity fee" and the general budget. For example, the %65 which is referred to as the student activity "fee" should be termed instead the student activity "allocation", since this amount does not appear as a fee on any bill. West wants a separate fee established for the student activity funds. See Budget, page 8 Seniors elected Dr. W.D. White the Commencement speaker and announc^ MargaretFuller of the senior class commit tee as class speaker in a meeting Tuesday, March 15. Nathan West announced that Fuller was chosen as the student speaker for commencement. She won the run-off over Tanuj Kulkami and Kris Deal. Based on student suggestions, the sen ior class committee decided that the senior class gift should be an etched mirror for the Gathering Place. It will cost around $400,etched with the soon to be chosen name of the student gathering place. The committee has asked for $5 from every senior to cover the cost of the mirror. Remaining funds will be used for the three designated honorees, who have been chosen but whose names have not been formally released. Fuller said that there was some discon tent with the choice of White, due to the sentiments that President Perkinson, who presided for most of the senior's tenure here, should give the speech. She noted that "All the bases are covered," because Perk inson will be handing out the diplomas and the new president, Tom Reuschling will deliver the Honors Convocation speech. Senate Report Security "Main Campus Problem II McGaw Prizes to be Awarded Julie Norem The main problem on campus, accord ing to the Senate, is Security. So much that the North Carolina Student Legislature (NCSL) has come up with a proposal called “The Buddy System.” The proposal submit ted by Lisa Rich suggested that the dorms be paired up for any person wanting to be es corted on campus at any time. The pairings are as follows; Concord- Winston Salem, Wilmington-Mecklenburg, and the female suites with the male suites in co-ed dorms. This kind of system has been proposed before, but according to Carolyn Moore, “The problem m the past is that the girls didn't use it." The Senate believes that the students will use it now because the problem with security has increased. Amy Heavner strongly suggested that, “If you see someone that doesn’tbelong here, call Security.” David Perkinson, President of the Sen ate, says that the Senate needs to “emphasize the fact that if there are any strangers inquir ing about students, that they need to be told to contact Security for that information.” Dorms are trying to combat this security problem. Carolyn Moore, of Wilmington Dorm, says that they have a sign- in book in the main lounge for visitors to indicate whom they are visiting. She said that “it is not necessary to sign out, we just want to know where they [visitors] are.” Deborah Kelly The lOth annual McGaw prizes in the field of Science and the Arts will be award ing $50 first prize and $20 second prizes in three categories. The three categories are works of visual art on a theme related to nature; works of poetry or prose on a nature theme and essays relating to science and the humanities. The visual art entries must be submit ted to the HF A Division office in Vardell by 5 p.m. on Apnl 22. The artwork should be suitable for hanging. The essays, poetry and prose aredue by 5 p.m. on April 15 in the division of Natural Sciences Office in Morgan-Jones. Dr- Blackburn will announce the win ners during the gallery talk at the Monday Night in the Arts campus art show on Apr. 18. The McGaw prizes were founded in the spring of 1979 by Blackburn, McGaw Pro fessor of Chemistry. This competition is designed exlusively for St. Andrews sstudents. The prize money is provided by Blackburn’s discretionary fund. The j udges in this year's contest are Dr. Blackburn for essays and Ralph Steeds for visual arts. The judge for poetry and prose has not been named at this time. According to Blackburn, with the exception of the visual arts category, very few students responded to last spring's competition. He says he hopes this year's competition will generate more interest among the students and increase the num ber of applicants. tjBi: WITH ¥OUE lU Join the Chess Club Scfiitting's Auto (Brol^rs BANK AND LOT FINANCING WE BUT.
