THE GOOD OF THE STUDENTS
Senate
Report
The Student Senate meet Wed-
nesday the 26 of March. There
were several important bills act-
ed upon. Among the moreimpor-
tant bill passes, were bills es-
tablishing an award for the busi-
ness in the area showing interest
in the Elon Students, and a bill
establishing a committee to study
the possibility of a student Loan
Service. Neither bill received
much opposition in passing.
Another importan bill that pass-
ed will have Veritas elects its
Co. Editors in the Veritas Staff
unstead of by the Students. This
was a change from the original
bill passed by the Senate last
year. The only bill that was de.
feated would have purchased a
nmway for Whitley. The finance
committee believed that the run-
way was too expensive to be pur.
chased at this time.
A bill designed to bring the
students in closer contact with
the Senators was brought up, but
was placed back in committee
pending further revision. Many
of the Senators did not agree with
the way the bill was written. So
after much debate the bill was
placed back in committee until
another time.
The Senate then placed the new
bills in the proper committees
and then adjourned. The next
meeting of the Senate will be
Wednesday, April 16.

Yellow Card, White Card
By MARY LOU MACGiLL.VRAY AND
CAULY DRUM
Due to the liberal sign out system, many Elon College girls are
finding that they will be spending their weekends either on strict cam
pus or campused or living in complete fear to leave the dorm at all.
The reason l>ehind this being, not a major offense, but for some earth
shaking event like ‘lingering in the lounge,’A few girls found they are
subject to call downs for two reasons, (1) inadequate warning of de-
parture time for dates and. , ,(2) an obstruction in the doorway - a
WIDC member and a friend.
Another major gripe is the room check policy. One girl returned
from her class and put her books on her bed and went to lunch. When
she came back, she found that she had a call down for a messy room.
Upon confronting the counselor with the call down, the girl was told
that one could not keep books on one’s own bed. This policy had not
been made clear then nor is it clear now. The call down was taken
back but why couldn’t a warning been issued instead of a call
down. Sometimes call downs are giv ■ too hastilv.
The yellow off campus cards are pos. g a real problem for fresh
men girls, A girl must go through the following procedure-.letter
perfect.-to avoid getting a call down. The date, destination, time,
companions and conveyances must be v'ritten on the card. The real
clincher comes when one must get a coi’ selor to “approve” the off
campus card. This is to make sure that the freshman girl only leaves
campus eight times a month.
To leave your yellow card downstairs in the file is a complete and
total “no, no." This also rates a call down.
The yellow and white card system is good for First Semester fresh
men who have closed study. This helps them to learn the rules and
possibly to form a few good habits. But the second semester freshmen
is a different matter. The second semester freshman doesn’t have
closed study and their habits have already l>een formed. The present
system promotes the falsifying of destination, as to whether an off
campus or campus is taken. Therefore, the whole purpose of the sign
out system is defeated. For the second semester freshman and upper
classmen a time-punch clock would give first as much information
and eliminate a tremendous amount of confusion.
A certain door in new dormitory is not too be opened after 5:30.
The known policy is that this door can not be opened after hours or a
call down will be issued. Granted, the door should be closed as a safe-
ty precaution but when certain people take it upon themselves to uje
this door, for their own convenience-after hours-and not receive a
call down, because they happen to be counsel members, Irritates a
few people. The rules they are breaking are also the rules that are
enforcing with call downs, campuses, etc.
This article is not an attack on the WIDC but rather an attack on the
call downs that they issue. If call downs are going to be given, they
must be given to everyone who breaks the rules and for everything.
As the system stands now, the rules and call downs are partial to a
few people. This shows a definite need for change.
