She portrayed the part of Emily in the graveyard scene. When asked what she consider ed her major responsibility as a freshman counselor, Beverly stated, “To accept each girl as an individual, expecting nothing great of any and appreciating the smallest qualities of each is my chief aim.” Beverly, representing Spilman Dorm, serves as a freshman coun selor, president of Scriblerus Honor Club, secretary of the Dramateers, a college marshall, and was a Christian Focus Week Co-Chairman this year. Becky Sluder, freshman class representative, was chosen as Miss Congeniality. The program centered around the theme, “On a Clear Day” and featured soloists Cammy McDon ald and Candy Coles.

The room is available to all stu dents except freshmen girls and is open 7-11 p.m. Monday through Friday. Managed by SGA repre sentatives, the study room was opened to offer students a quiet place to study. In an effort to draw the SGA closer to the student body, eight senators visited dormitories to hear student questions and com plaints. Gripes expressed con cerned the cafeteria, telephone service, handbook regulations, parking lot fees, class cuts, li brary hours, and room searches. The majority of student com plaints were submitted to com mittees to be acted upon later.
