President Terry Wimmer called the Senate meeting to order, portraying a sense of urgency. Patrice Nelson, that dedicated Secretary of the SGA, hurriedly passed out copies of the minutes of the previous meeting. It was so strange, that one wondered what was going to happen. But nothing did happen. The SGA went through its weekly ritual of governing the student body of Capitol Campus. Wimmer, in a break from parliamentary procedure, began the business portion of the meeting with his personal announcements. Marlin Kohler, junior Senator representing the Math-Science Program, was formally dismissed from the Senate. Kohler had dropped below the grade-point average of 2.33 during the Winter Term. He was not dismissed prior to this week because he had grades on appeal, Wimmer explained. Wimmer announced that Dr. Hartzler and Dr. Conover were named to fill Capitol's vacancies on the University Faculty Senate. Dr. J.H. Moore, Head of the Engineering Devision, has submitted his resignation. He is reportedly going to Virginia Polytechnical Institute to assume a post similar to the one he held here at Capitol. Wimmer plans to nominate three students to serve on the University Council at Main Campus. The students cannot be a member of the SGA and serve on the Council. They can, for example, be members of the Dean's Advisory Committee and still be eligible. Mrs. James Jordan has agreed on the basis for a teaching award to be established in memoriam of her husband, Dr. Jordan, who was Chairman of the Faculty Council. The award will be presented as the senior class gift. Procedures May 1. Juniors & seniors will be voting for executive officers and senior senators. 2. In the senatorial election: a.

The Human Awareness Committee was allocated $250 for Fertility Day activities. Sen. Neil Madonick moved that the location of the weekly SGA meetings be moved from the Main Building to the Student Center, basing his motion on particapatory and ecological reasons.

Bonaker Capitol's Annual Talent Show, which was held last Wednesday and Thursday, was truly an entertainment achievement. Program coordinater, Carolyn Sims, did a remarkable job in lining up such wonderful talent. Yet the Talent Show almost didn't happen. It was originally scheduled for dates near the end of the Winter Term, but was postponed because of lack of interest. But Carolyn ran around and came up with a wonderful program. Masters of Ceremonies, Evon Golphin and Leroy Howe, kept the show moving with their humor and enlightening introductions. The acts were backed up by a competent combo which included Mark Chanin, Greg Garth, Dan Perini, Carolyn Sims, Eric Smith and Ken Norris. These people are not part of a regular group, but the audience could not tell that at all. That factor is attributable to the fine abilities of the group. Eva Warren gave an adequate rendition of "Yesterday' to open the program. Chris and Linda sang two folk songs, which were well received by the audiences which packed the Auditorium for two nights. On Wednesday, Mark Channin, aided by interpretative dancers, played his original compositions on the piano, and sang a stirring "Haverton Blues".
