Lee’s ideal Student Government One of Lee’s main goals this year is to establish an audit of our park ing fees. When he returned to cam pus last winter and found three-foot high snow drifts on the parking lot and dangerous conditions on the campus road, he decided something must be done. But so far, his in tentions have become “hung-up” by beaurocratic procedures. “You need the personal contact”, Lee explained. He plans to begin investigation of the parking situation this week, so all students can drive and park safely this winter. Lee will also work on revamping the image of SGA at Capitol. “I don’t think it is the function of SGA to be politically involved. Service to the students comes first. The exception, of course was with Cambodia and Kent State last year.” “The reason students aren’t inter ested in SGA is because it has be come a debating society.” Political Faculty Profiles: Dr. Woodruff and Dr. Jordan Join Campus Faculty Dr. Lloyd W.

It must be respected by students, fac ulty, and administration alike. It must be able to draw fragmented groups into a cohesive whole. And it must be able to achieve its goals. Lee also has a plan to solicit stu dent opinions. Once a term, question aires will be sent to every student, asking them what they would like to see accomplished. “If they don’t come to us, we’ll go to them!” Something Lee would like to see this year is the acceptance of more Black students and more women stu dents (for Women’s Lib or for person al reason??). He would like more stu dent involvement in their course of ferings and more students on pro gram committees. After having been active in the Democratic party for years, and ser ving as treasurer of the Young Dem ocrat’s Organization and the New students’ needs. Democratic Coalition, Lee is eager to work for Mijton Shapp in Novem ber. “SGA comes first though”, Lee cautioned. In his spare time, Lee plans to read and catch up on some sleep. He’ll probably be catching up on activities, instead. Lee is excited a bout a major concert in the spring term and a rock festival which may be held in Hershey stadium. Lee extends a hearty welcome to the juniors whom he hopes will “jump in and help us. . . there are lots of activities in the fall! Stay on cam pus for the weekends!” in the Institute of Liberal Arts and the philosophy and education depart ments. Author of several articles and papers on the philosophy of edu cation, Dr. Jordan’s current work is more directly concerned with the phi losophy of language and mind. Dr. Jordan is a member of the American Philosophical Association, the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology, Metaphysical So ciety, Philosophy of Education So ciety, and Georgia Philosophical So ciety. Other new appointments to the campus faculty include Dr. Brewster and Dr. Jay Anderson. Their profiles will appear in the coming issue.
