The irublicity Coai'nittco is v/Gll-plcasod at student reaction to the
OAH US CRIL'Rc . The first edition of the ncv/slettcr seemed to be accepted
with a great deal of enthusiasm and approval, and we hope that interest
will continue.
The student written response v/as fairly good considering that this
opportunity is a ncv/ one. In the line of prompting, it may be well to
better inform students about the hov/s and whys of writing to this news
letter. Some students have said that they don't know what to write
about. \/e answer that any topic dealing v/ith student life that is of
genera.1 interest is acceptable. In the way of a few suggestions, let us
hoar some views about such topics as the worth of the Honor System, .
Studont-Administration relationships, the value of Student Government,
campus ontort' inment, and specific bills being p.T'esented in the Student
Senate. -
L'lany students no doubt believe thcit letters to a publication must
be critical. V7hile it is true thc.t criticism is appealing to most
people (human nature), it should be remembered that a few words of praise
for a job done well and suggestions for nev; SG projects s.rc, well-accepted.
For students v/ho do not v/ish to have their names printed with their
letters, we will withhold names upon request. It is, hovvcver, the de
cided policy of this committee—as it is the policy of most publications-
that the writer's name be signed to a letter. The letters are received
by the Publicity Committee Chairmein and are discarded after publication
without disclosure of names.
Letters from students may be of any length. They should be concise,
however, and v/ritten in good taste. The Publicity Committee reserves the
right of editing.
In conclusion, this committee realizes—or hopes—that response will
grow as the newsletter grows. Koanwhile, we encourage you to take out
pen and paper and address a letter to "Letters from Students", Box 1061.
Letters for the next edition of THjj] CAliPUS CRILR should be in by December
10. —C«T.

A bill which would levy a fine on students who do not pay their SG
fees on time ha,s yet to pass through the Senate although throe attempts
have been made. The first attempt, in the form of a bill written by
President Jim Buie, and a sccond attempt, an alternate bill presented by
the Judicial Committee, v/ere defeated on the floor. At the November 7th
meeting of the Senate, the Judicial Comi'aittee presented another bill
that was tabled because of tochnicalitics. It is almost certain that a
nev/ bill v/ill be presented at the next Senate meeting.
President Jim Buie is working on an ajnendment to the Student Govern-
mnet Constitution that v/ould abolish the Student Council. This will be
a step in the revision of the Honor Council and in the revision of the
entire constitution.
Future bills coming before the Senate will deal with the "necktie
situation" on Sunday nights, the addition of recreational facilities for
students, the appropriation of school pennants or paintings (possibly
both) for the Student Union, and appropriations for a used adding ma
chine for the SG office and a tape recorder for the taping of a weekly
radio show on one or more of the local stations.
A constitutional amendment \/hich will come up for consideration
shortly concerns the cstciblishment of a Board of Review for campus clubs
and organizations.(Social frat :rnities and sororities excluded.) This
a,mcndment would put the groups "in co-operation with Student Government",
and "orovide for cam'ous organizational unity, the filing of club consti
tutions with SG, and the establishment of a SG board v/hich would review
the organizations each semester. Also, under this bill, no ne\\/ club
could be formed without presenting a constitution for approval by the
Student Senate.
A committee to codify Senate bills has been formed and is headed by
Sen. i clvin Shrevcs. The committee will devise a system of coding the
