following candidates presented
these views on the Issues con
fronting the SGA.
President — Larry (Peanut)
Rooks: “I am enthusiastic about
the unification of students with
all programs being on one cam
pus and the advantages this will
afford. There are some amend
ments to the constitution which
should be made. The possibility
of revising the number of ab
sences allowed for a course
should be investigated.”
Vice-Presldent“Roy Herring;
‘ 'The hold back of sopho more stu
dents filing for candidates was
from experiences with last year.
To get more participation from
all students we must offer what
Is appealing to them.” Asked
about having an honor code for
see—“I definitely approve of
having an honor code.”
Secretary—Ann PIgott' "Stu
dents have the responsibility of
deciding for themselves what type
of clothing to wear in college and
I can’t see where it is the respon
sibility of the SGA to decide the
dress of the students.” Also
commenting about the expansion
of officer responsibility, “The
responsibility of an officer is to
be a leader and to get others
involved.”
Secretary — Kay High; “The
following are my qualifications
for this office; I have been secre
tary in many organizations both in
hl^ school and the church. I
have typing and shorthand experi
ence, and lam interested in work
ing with the SGA.”
Treasurer—Lin^a Page; “The
budget for the ’67-’68 college
year was based on the ftaanclal
need of each club of organization.
Money set aside for thiis is from
the student activity fee paid at the
beginning of each quarter by all
full-time students. How this
money is spent—the SGA de
cides.”
Senatorial candidates were
asked what they wish to see done
if they were elected. Following
are their comments.
Barbara Cartrette; “I wish to
see funds allocated for having the
library open on Saturday and Sun
day, Part-time help could be
from the students.”
Alan Watkins: “Student's ac
tivity fee should be raised to
provide for a yearbook ... a
big part of college is having an
annual.”
Louise Yoder: “Let the stu
dents know what the SGA is doing
and find out what the students
want, to better voice their opin
ions.”
Alice Davis: “I would like to
encourage student activities with
the possibility of the different
departments sponsoring new
activities.”
Linda Waters: “I would like to
see more school spirit by begin
ning pep rallies to give the team
more support.”
James Crabtree; “Appoint stu
dents to aid in keeping the lounge
area cleaner and to help with
the parking difficulties.”
Charles Smith; “Instead of
more cultural concerts, I would
like to see SCC present a pop
concert at least once a year.”
Larry Watson: “To gain the
support of the students and to
have an atmosphere of being a
college campus, I would like to
have a symbol for the college
along with the idea of other col
leges erected toward laying a
foundation for this new campus.”
Jerry King; “Changing the stu
dents’ lounge area to another
location is essential. This at
present Isn’t large enough for
the minority of the students, it is
also in terrible condition.”
Elected officers and senators
will make up the governing body
of the SGA. The purpose of the
SGA Is to provide a means for
responsible and effective student
government with student partici
pation, to pursue and participate
in decisions affecting students, to
take action in the best interest of
the student body and college com
munity, to provide a voice throu^i
which student opinion may be ex
pressed, to assume an active
interest in maintenance of dis
cipline within the college, and to
work with the faculty and admin
istration.
