Page Ten MARS HILL COLLEGE HILLTOP SGA Irom p. 1 sented his resignation, stating that it was impossible for him to con tinue under the situation and at titudes existing in the system. He feels students are not in the proper position in reiation to governance of the college. Discussion of the resignations followed. Since each resigned individually, they had to be voted on separately. It was decided by the Senate that there be a role call vote. I^resident Kuykendall's resignation was accepted with a vote of 10-11. Vice-President Cook’s resignation was not accepted by 8-13. Chief Justice Farrell’s resignation was also not accepted by a vote of 3-18. There was a call for a revote on the grounds that Senate should take into consideration the fact that the three resigned together, therefore all three should be accepted of rejected. The move to revote was defeated 9-10 with 2 abstentions. A committee to inform the three resignees of the results was made. Another committee consisting of David Gasperson, Debra Watson, Steve Bennett and Chris Navey was asked to compile reasons as to what happened and why the Senate voted as it did. The com mittee was to inform Kuykendall, Cook and Farrell and the student body of its findings. After much hard work and late hours the committee came up with this ihitial report. The vote of some Senators was an attempt to repre sent their constituency. Senators differed in the confidence they felt for these officers due to past performance in office and the leav ing of SGA’s structure in last week’s actipn. Differences in political ideology of officers and Senators based on methods used in the last two weeks influenced voting to a certain extent. Some Senators voted on thei r conviction as to what was needed to reunite SGA and retain some leadership. Also, personal feelings^ for and against the officers as individuais influ enced some Senators. Questions were raised by the committee which they feel can only be answered by the students body. Will the student body support a Student Government without Terry Kuykendali as Pres ident? Can the students support SGA at all? Can the students body support Senate’s decision to accept one resignation whiie rejecting the other two? Other business conducted at the Senate Meeting was a talk by George Peery, Senate Advisor. He saw in the events of iast week a constitutional crisis. He asks that the Senate consider problems like:' what actions should be taken when a member of Senate resigns. The constitution provides nothing if a whole group of elected officers re sign. What constitutes a quorum. The “Student Overview" states that two-thirds of Senate is required for a quorum while the Constitution refers to Robert’s Rules of Order which provides that one-haif of Senate makes up a quorum. Another question raised by Peery was the controversy of a Senator being present but not answering roll call. Peery observed that last year at the student/faculty/administra tion conference at Christmount, the emphasis was on communica tion. After the resignations, infor mation sharing and cross-campus communication was impressive. For once people got excited, people got involl/ed. Questions were raised about relations between student- student, student-faculty, and student- administration. Peery urged that the organization formed be main-. tained. He ended by saying, “It would be a tragedy if we blow it.” Some announcements made were that the Adijnissions and academic standards committee voted to allow two students on this standing committee. Their proposal will now be sent to the Plans and Policies Committee. The faculty ■ voted to continue with the Review Commission whose purpose is to review all aspects of Mars Hill College. The Senate Foreign Lan guage Revievv Committee will not only study the requirement in depth as a separate committee but will also be allowed to participate in the Core Curriculum Committee, a part of the Review Commission. As of Oct. 9, SGA has $989.61 in its treasury. Several interested students came and voiced their opinions at this Senate meeting. Some faculty were also present. All are welcome. The next Senate meeting is Oct. 23, 6:30 in the Library Auditorium. Cross Country Cycling Race Scheduled More and More college students today are travelling by bicycle and on Saturday, October 7, students from across the state will have a chance to test their cycling talents for cash prizes. A total of ten cash prizes will be awarded with $200 going to the wi- ner in the first annual bicycle race sponsored by the College Agency of the Northwestern Mutual Life In surance Company.

CORN JR. TEAM CAPTAIN Dear Mr. Corn: We are four average play ers who play lunchtime. Last week we underbid a grand slam.

There was no assurance that the club suit would “run” after your bid ding sequence. 1 suggest: 10/22 West East 2*. 2NT 3 A 4 « 4NT . - 54 7* Timid Twosome, Detroit Answer: Just because a grand slam makes does not mean you should have bid it. A grand slam should be ventured only when you have about 75 per cent chance of success. At best, your hand required a suc cessful spade finesse to make 13 tricks. The Aces would have bid to six spades after use of the Grand Slam Force to find -out about the solidity of the trump suit (five no trump asks partner to bid seven, holding two of the top three honors).

I approve of your bidding-— after all, it’s not often that a minor suit game is made on a combined holding of 21 high-card points. Dear Mr. Corn: We enjoyed a sensational result on this hand but I somehow feel that we were a little lucky. Can you com ment on the bidding? The opponents doubled and I re doubled for a huge score. 10/22 WEST EAST 4k765 4kAKQ8 V 4 3 2 ¥AKQ 4 A983 4 K 4kJ95 4kAKQ43 Dear Mr. Com: What are the rough odds one might use as a guide in bidding close games in rub ber bridge?
