the CAPITOLIST
Vol. VI, No. 9
This Week In The SGA
This week's article will cover
the past two meetings of the
Student Governmen L t
Association. Provost Robert E.
McDermott made his initial
appearance before the SGA and
talked about the first few weeks
of his administration.
The Finance Committee's
request for a ceiling of $350 on
the Senior Class gift was
approved. Tarnhelm, Capitol's
literary magazine, and I.T.E. and
the Chess Club were allocated
funds for organizational
conduct. The Social Committee
was granted a loan of $l,OOO, to
be repayed from the concessions
of the Rock Festival, to be held
in May. President Terry Wimmer
established a committee to
investigate practices of area
college radio stations and to
make recommendations to
improve WZAP's financial
problems.
Teacher and course evaluation
forms are being distributed this
week, to be returned before the
end of the term. The written
remark area, it is hoped, will add
to the subjective value of the
evaluations and will establish
more concrete feedback.
Two new organizational
charters were approved: the
Traffic Engineers Club (1.T.E.)
and the Christian Science
charter. Three club charters were
revoked: The Judo Club, the
Young Democrats, and the
Environmental Committee, all
because of inaction. The Charter
Review Committee warns that
some organizations need charter
revisions and will be notified
soon. Lenny Thompson was
appointed Chairman of the
Teaching Award Committee.
Mike Dini, as Chairman of the
sub-committee on Student
Participation in Academic
Affairs, requested student
comments and suggestions
pertaining to the report of
Guidelines of Student
Participation in Academic
Affairs at Capitol Campus.
Students are urged to pick up a
copy in the SGA office.

Wimmer announced the
Constitutional Amendment was
defeated. 187 voted in favor and
72 opposed it, but it did not
pass due to the failure to achieve
the required two-thirds majority.
Dean Grimm has established an
Area Coordinator for Meade
Heights. Senate members will
investigate the possiblity of the
Farm Show Arena as a site for
commencement ceremonies. A
campus site, though, is the first
choice. A committee was
established to discuss designating
an award at graduation, named
in memory of Dr. Jordan.
Sen. Armand Mundy was
recalled by the Senate, due to
lack of meeting attendance.
Mundy had three unexcused
absences this year, which
according to the Constitution
results in the dismissal of
senatorial duties.
Dr. Saylor announced that the
Business program will conduct
interviews for new faculty
positions. There will be an
interview today, March 9th at
2:00 p.m. in E-235. On Friday,
March 10th, at 2:15 p.m. in the
Gallery Lounge, another
interview will be held. Any
student in the business program
or any other interested
non-business students are
invited.
Wimmer announced that the
Faculty Council recommends
that counselors be given full
faculty status and privileges. The
counselors are Dr. Lefkowitz
and Miss Kreiger. The Faculty
Control is also considering
deleting the 21 day drop-add
period. Wimmer pointed out
that there is a rule J-3 which
allows a student to drop a course
after 21 days under extenuating
circumstances.
The Senior semi-formal dinner
dance will be held June 3rd. The
Senate discussed the possibility
of allowing juniors to participate
also. The SGA adjourned and
will not meet again until next
term.

Term i
Or Else
CAPITOLIST Moves
Last Saturday, the
CAPITOLIST officially moved
into its new office in the main
room of the SGA office. From
the former isolated office in the
placement building, the new
office should help promote
intra-campus communication.
Originally planned for the fall
term, the new office was
completed last week with the
help of Mr. Burleigh. As is the
case with some of our other
plans, the new office was
delayed by the rigors of
publishing a newspaper every
week and not by red tape. In
fact, when we did finalize the
plans and obtain the necessary
approval, the office was
completed within three weeks.

Thursday, March 9, 1972
With the move of the office
furniture, the move was made
official last week. The new
office will be the location of all
the processes necessary to the
publication of the newspaper.
In addition, we will try to
have a staff member in the office
.as often as possible. It is our
hope that the central location
will make getting news to us
easier and will be reflected in
better news reporting.
The old office will be
maintained with the hope that
we can put some composition
equipment in next year. The
equipment would further
improve the paper by cutting
costs and printing time. If we
can swing it, the eight-page
C A PITO LIST which now
appears only infrequently will be
common and even regular next
year.
So drop in to see us next
term. Put your articles, letters or
classified ads in the box, or just
come by to shoot the shit. Let
us know what's in your head,
perhaps we can help find out
what's going on here. And
Thank You, Mr. Burleigh.
