Champaign Wheels Churn by Bruce Pizzini You may think that it's a cold spring, but if you were to attend an SGA meeting the heat of summer in Africa would seem like the North Pole. This week was no different except it took a little more time to get the fire really burning. Under the title old business, Mike Chiricuzio spoke about the Spring Arts Festival and said that things are going very well. The only problem could come in the fors► of bad weather. Next the election will come at the end of the auc tion, when auctioneer Davis Giersch unsuccessfully tries to give himself away. Not wanting to be a total failure, Giersch told this reporter that he will exit by being fired out of a cannon while the music from the 1812 Overture plays in the background. Cer tainly, this alone is worth the price of admission. The party starts at 9 p.m. Saturday night, ya hear? (I doubt it). The activity brought smiles and excitement to fifty-one Harlin Day Care children, and also to everyone else involved, whether they were members of the Dorm Council or if they just stopped in. Prizes were awarded for the most eggs collected and also a special egg. The twenty or twenty-five Behrend students who attended were entertained as the kids sang "Peter Cottontail", "She'll Be " Comminßound th Mountain", and, "Johnny Put Your Kerchief Down". One little jammer even soloed to "Soul Sister" while another danced "the bump". Kids, teachers, and students alike enjoyed "Duck, Duck, Goose" a game which is hard to explain but alot of fun. Thanks must go to Lynn Monteverde and the rest of the Dorm Council, Mark Pfaff and everyone else involved, not only for giving the kids something to remember, but also for brightening up the day for alot of students by bringing the magic of children to Behrend College.

New Business: Darla Berkey motioned that the SGA suspend the constitution concerning the reading of a constitutional amendment at 3 consecutive meeting. After considerable debate (the fire started to kindle) - it was seconded and then passed unanimously. In the SGA Constitution, con cerning elections, the two can didates who tally the highest and the second highest number of votes win the offices of Ist and 2nd Vice-President respectively. However this year the candidates running for the offices of Ist and 2nd V.P. are under the impression they are running separately for each office. Since the election would be unfair to those seeking the 2nd V.P. position a portion of Publicity Stirs For Players Production by Jeff Matson Executive Editor The Behrend Players' production of "The House of Blue Leaves" will be receiving some very interesting publicity by the newspapers, radio stations and, this term, the local television stations will carry features on the coming production. It is hoped that the Erie Times will repeat its picture coverage of the production as it did during the showing of "The Drunkard". Also, the Erie Free Press will be running a picture and story concerning the production which will be a highlight of the Spring Arts Festival program. Local station WQLN FM will continue its support of the theatre program here at Behrend with various radio spots and for the first time the production will receive coverage on television. !

Vic Kopnitsky then motioned that Article 3 section 3 item 1 of the constitution be deleted (the part concerning the election of Ist and 2nd V.P.) It was seconded and passed unanimously. John Lammers then motioned to hold a special election on Friday, April 19-Tomorrow!l It was seconded and also passed ;Ina 'mously. The next issue of business was the JRC Petition. It was not presented this week but next week's meeting should be in teresting. Mike Chir' icuzio then requested the floor to read a proposed constitutional amendment. In an effort to better serve the student body this amendment breaks down the representation as follows: The five SGA officers, the president of each class, plus eight new officers, a single dorm representative (The JRC chairman), a commuter representative at large and the creation of six new represen tative positions from each academic area, 1) Arts and Humanities, 2) Social and Behavioral Science. After a rather long and heated discussion (the fire was roaring now) Jeff Lang motioned to table debate until next week. It was seconded and passed 12 for, and 1 abstention. Vic Kopnitsky motioned for adjournment and everybody thought it was a good idea. The meeting adjourned at 9:05.
