SGA Proposes Changes; Expectantly Awaits Vote By Dee Wilson The proposed changes for Stu dent Government Association con stitute a division of labor which will provide for a more competently run student government. Under the new plan, the students’ needs can be handled faster and more effec tively. The area of major change would occur in Judicial Board. Under the proposed plan, Judicial Board would be divided into two separate coun cils, the Honor Council and the In terdorm Council. The Honor Coun cil will handle only violations of the Honor Code. Comprised of eight members, it would meet once a month. The chairman of Honor Council would be a rising senior, elected by the student body and would fill the position formerly held by Judicial Board Chairman.. Like wise, a secretary would be elected, and she must be a rising junior. The chairman of the Interdorm Council and the president of Stu dent Government would serve as ex officio members. The remaining members would be representatives from each class elected by that class, and would fill seats previously held, by the vice-presidents of the four classes. The new addition is the Interdorm Council. This Council will handle all matters excluding honor viola tions. Its responsibilities include announcements to dorms, infractions of social regulations, and all con cerns of dorm life. The Interdorm Council would meet once a week and have eleven members. The chairman would be a rising junior elected by the student body, and the secretary, an elected rising sophomore. Presidents of the dorms would serve as members of the council. The chairman of Honor Council would be an ex officio mem ber. Changes in the Legislative Board are not so extensive but are valu able in dispensing some of its for mer duties so student petitions can change of pace Meet Lisa Lucille Long be expedited. The principal change involves the duties of the Vice- President of Student Government. The Vice-President would change from student chairman of the As sembly committee to chairman of the Student Service Council. To fill the gap left vacant by the Vice- President, the Executive Board would appoint a student chairman of the Assembly Committee. Membership on Legislative Board is also modified. No budget organi zation presidents or editors will sit on the Legislative Board. Instead, they will comprise an Inter-Club Council The purpose of this coun cil is to coordinate club activities. The establishment of this group will alleviate some of the problems Legislative Board now faces in ap pointing committees. Legislative Board 'has often had to turn to S. S. C. to select committees be cause its own members were too involved in their clubs to serve on separate committees of the Legis lative Board. However, the new members of Legislative Board will be concerned solely with Legislative Board matters and are not asso ciated with club business. The new membership would include the four Student Government officers, the Day Student president, the four class presidents, a representative elected from each dorm, with addi tional representatives from the freshman class, plus the S. S. C. co- chairman and the two council chair men as ex officio members. The duties of the Executive Board will remain the same and the only alteration in membership calls for the substitution of the chairmen of the two councils for Judicial Board Chairman and Secretary. The proposed changes have been put forward for consideration and discussion by the student body. The new plan of organization for Stu dent Government can be adopted in its entirety, or if found deficient only those changes which are most beneficial can be enacted. By Mae East, et. al. Dear Readers: Welcome to the mischievious misadven tures of Lisa Lucille Long, girl sleuth extraorninaire, di igent delver into devious deeds, and constructive critic of creative crime. A girl of remarkable constitution, Lisa is the ready champion of the weak, the bewildered, and the befuddled; member in good standing of the in ternationally famous organization HAM (Hatred Aimed pt Men); prominent member of the student body of Serenity C. (a smallish girls’ school in the southern ex tremities of the United States of Northern America); daughter of the nationally famous doctor-lawyer Dewey E Long, who entered law school at the height of his medical career to cut the frequent costs of leg.al repre sentation in his malpractice suits; former president of the “Donald Duck-Mickey Mouse-Splro Agnew Wrist Watchers Assoc.; and present President of the DAR, “Doubters of the An-erlcan Revolution.” Lisa, in the constant companionship of her quarulous cohorts Susie Smith and Becky Bagley, is never far separated from mystery, intrigue, danger, and absolute boredom. Her cuddly canine Cannabis used to offer pleasant diversion, but tbe full impact of former fun and fro’lcs has been cut short by her strict adherence to a purely academic life. Contrary to the stature implied by her surname, Lisa is rather short—4’ 11” (a physical attribute which fre quently aids her in moments of extreme duress vhen anonymity is paramount or when it becomes a''soluteh'' ne'-essary to cross a crowded room and crawling on one’s hands a^d hopes becomes ad'dsab’e—in the even*- friends aod foes -e*'usn to pass one hand over hand or head over head, as the case may be.) Lisa, or LLI. as she is knowm in inner circles, is further aided in her incon spicuous aspects bv the absolut»lv unbehevab’e shade of her hair—ucky-browm—and bv the dull gleam in her eouallv uckv eves. When LLL’s exploits lead her on a merry chase, she is seldom (if ever) spotted by the tailed traitor as she blends beautifully into the fluid flow of traffic in her marvelously restored 1923 Purple-Pink Packard. One morning as LLL was contemplating cutting her comparatively cruddy crip course, Susie burst into the room. “Lord, Lisa! Whatever shall we do? The strenuous stress of the situation seems to be stiffling! T readily repeat, whatever shall we do??” “•Alleviate some of that alliteration for starters. O.K. Smith, spill it!” “OH, Lisa! The most dreadful thing imagined in the innate imagination of our inert inmates Beckv and T were do\’ n at the locally acclaimed Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe, and Lisa . . oh dear, oh dear ... the wily waitresses were willfully s^'rving Serenity C. students before the DOM’s!! Can you cope?” “DOM’s?” “Dirty Old Men! Lisa, Becky was breathless ” “Over the DOM’s, Smith?” “No. T.isa resses 11” the waitresses, the wily, wittless wait- Hummm, thought Lisa; this bit of foolish tom-foolery deserves my personal attention. What possib’e motive? Money? Tips? Spite? “Smith, get Bagley. We’re going to look into this matter personally.” “Will we walk, Lisa?” “NO. Get the Packard.” Why are the waitresses at the locally famous Ye Ole Ice Cream Shoppe waiting on students before men cus- t-’mers'^ Why the sudden interest in student opinion? What deep seated motives lurk behind this show of con cern?? Will Lisa find out? Writ and watch for next week’s chapter: “the Lost Supper”. Volume Lll Salem College, Winston-Salem, N.

Peace Rally To Present New Way To End It “Are You For P^ace?” This question serves as the foundation for a rising group of concerned citizens known as the North Caro lina Committee to End the War in Indochina.
