From the desk of the S.
JPI EDITORIAL OPINIONS
JgHK President Ron Drum
The end. The very
end. The end of the term
and the end of my admini
stration. It seems a
lifetime has passed since
Joseph Melnick, 1975-76
S.G.A. President, swore
me into office at the
Awards Banquet.
And what big ideas
and changes we were go
ing to enact. Why, we
were going to , take on
the whole University!
And we almost did.
Many of the bigger
ideas we realized could
not be accomplished and
were set aside. Those
that were within our
grasp were enacted.
One of the things I
said would be a mahor con
cern this year was stu
dent apathy. I set to
work immediately on in
stituting programs to end
or at least slow down
apathy.
During orientation
I spoke on Apathy, call
ing for students to be
come involved and"help
me kill the big green
monster called Apathy."
We passed amend
ments to the S.G.A. con
stitution to open up new
positions within the ex
ecutive board; filling in
loopholes, and giving re
presentatives new titles;
"S.G.A. Student Senators."
With the help of John
Page, Vice-President, and
Senator Brad McNab, the Or
ganization of Town Indepen
dent Students became ac
tive. Car pools were start
ed and an active housing
list was posted weekly.
The need to organize
all clubs into one unit
was realized early and
Reflections
the Highacres Club Advis
ory Council of the Student
Government Association,
better known as H.C.A.C.
was initiated. This Coun
cil is made up of the pres
ident of each club on
campus. The idea is that
the presidents could help
each other out with prob
lems and could work to
gether to carry out on
activities. The idea work
ed !
We needed to commun
icate with the campus clubs
so we, with the help of
Congressman Daniel Flood
and the U.S. Postal Service,
acquired mailboxes for the
clubs.
In regard to clubs, the
Registering Committee, which
later became known as the
S.G.A. Department of Club
Registration, registered six
new clubs before Christmas;
six new clubs could now open

Introducing...
My name is Nancy
Klotsko and this is the
first of my columns in
the COLLEGIAN. First
of all, I would like

dents who ran for of
fice and all those who
took the initiative to
vote in the April I st
election. I hope they
will continue their
interest in S.G.A.
I hopw, that next
year this column will
help to increase com
munications between my
self and you, the stu
dents. Hopefully, next
year, I can make, public
the many services avail
able to the students.
The majority of which
the students are unaware.
The Student Govern
ment Association is here
