SGA passes
housing act
Editorial
STUDENTS UP
AGAINST WALL... a
reprint editorial on the
current campus
situation from The
Daily Tar Heel. Read it
on page two.
Ill--
by Charlie peek
The new housing act of UNCC,
allowing dormitory students to
regulate their own visitation
policy, was the main order of
business as the legislature met on
Monday. Also a resolution
regarding the now-controversial
SAGA food service and a high ger
debate on allocations to the
Student Broadcasting Association
kept the legislators alert.
The new Freshman officers and
representatives were sworn in as
the first order of business. Parks
Warren was sworn in as class
president, Willie Pinkney as vice
president, and Robert Blue,
Margaret Layman, and Clare
Tausch as representatives.
Alan Hickok then announced
that the Administration had
reversed its policy of issuing
multiple parking tickets for the
same offense. He was promised
that it would not happen again.
Mr. Hickok also said that a new
Food Service Committee had been
appointed to study the problems
of the cuisin on campus.
Next, the SGA president
reported on the context of the
campus president’s meeting.
Visitation policies were discussed
including the recommended
policy now being discussed in
Chapel Hill. They are debating a
Differential Housing Bill which
would allow a House to set up its
own rules regarding visitation
providing the members of the
House had Parental Permission.
This set the stage on the floor for
Hickok to present the new
Housing Act of UNCC (S.L. Bill
70-71-6).
This bill provides that each
residence hall be organized into
five governmental bodies called
houses. Each house would consist
of the two floors that share a
common lounge. Each house
would also elect a slate of officers
consisting of a president, a vice
president from each floor, and a
house secretary.
This president would represent
the House in dealing with the
administration, in sitting on the
Residence Hall Council of his
dormitory, and to see that the
rules of his House were enforced.
Secretaries would have the
responsibility of posting all House
and Dorm rules on the bulletin
boards. All officers would be
elected on a semester basis.
House Presidents and Chief
Justices of each Residence Hall
will compose a. Residence Hall
Council the duties of which would
be to meet periodically to discuss
problems. common to the houses
and to legislate rules and
regulations for that dormitory in
accordance with the Dean of
students and the President of the
Greek
council
formed
A Council of Presidents is being
formed to give fraternities and
sororities a sounding board for
opinions they may care to convey
to the administration.
Work has already begun on
drafting the constitution for the
council. The council hopes to
establish cooperation and
coordination between the
fraternal groups on this campus,
since pooling resources from all
the organizations willpermit
activities to be held on a much
larger scale. Officers of the
Council are: Joey Howell (Theta
Psi), chairman; Ron Foster (Chi
Phi), vice-chairman; and Dorothy
Conley (Soul phi Soul),
secretary-treasurer.
student body. This would include
all Visitation Policies as long as
they were in accordance with the
uniform policy of the
Consolidated University of North
Carolina.
