February 22, 1973 DREADED DISEASE TAKES TOLL by John Sheridan Ed. Note: Mr. Sheridan is Vice-President of the Student Government Association. Following is his commentary on certain issues involving the SGA. I've been contemplating writing this article for the past several weeks. I held off thinking things would get better, but unfortunately they haven't. I've been attacked by a disease known to some students at Capitol as "Senioritis." The symptoms are characterized by a growing amount of apathy, disgust, and the "I don't give a damn" attitude. Along with others, I agree that they're not good attitutes to have. So, WATCH OUT or you'll get them, too. • The disease has reached epidemic proportions in the Student Government Association Senate. Many of us look for a cure, but our research is hopeless. It is this writer's opinion that the power of Student Government has dwindled away to nothing. If you've ever gone to a meeting, you know what I'm talking about. We'll sit there for hours arguing about certain problems that we, as students, feel should be resolved. When we finally come to a conclusion (which is usually in the form of a recommendation) we send out memos to those administrators who can remedy the problem. My dismay comes from the fact that no action comes from these administratiors. I'll site some examples to back up my story. First, we asked that Spring and Summer course schedules be REGAL NOTES UNDERSTAND PLAYS, NOVELS AND POEMS FASTER WITH OUR NOTES We're new and we're the bigest!

Finance John Sheridan submitted early to aid in the simplification of registration. We asked to have them submitted by the third week of the winter term. We are now entering the seventh week, a little past the deadline fellas. Second, we were given information on the war college and calendar issues at a time when it was too late to do anything. Third, we asked that the outrageous parking fee of $22.50 per year be substantiated. Their action was referred to a committee which gave us a schedule break down of costs' and revenues. As a student in business, I did not consider this break down substantiating. If anything, I considered this break down as evidence that the fee is too high. As of this date, reduction in the fee is NOT imminent. Fourth, many of use feel that our security program needs revamping. The action on this issue was referred to ANOTHER committee, which may meet once a month, to get absolutely nothing done. Fifth, as some of you know, this campus is in store for a new building called the "Multi-purpose" (or NO-purpose) building. Again, we had students who worked hard trying to convey student interest in this building. We discovered recently that we had NO SAY THE CAPITOLIST WHATSOEVER in the facilities that went into this building. I could write pages of cased like those mentioned above, but it would only disgust me further. The only two proposals that this writer has seen any action taken on were the situations involving the round table and the student directory. Just think, we got our directory after only twenth weeks of our thirty-seven week academic week was over! Big deal! The question is, where do we go from here? Do we let this dreaded disease get out of hand? "Senioritis" has already taken its toll. Four members have dropped out of SGA because of this disease. It has reached the critical state in many others. Personally, I won't let it get the best of me. I won't give some people that satisfaction! My gripe is that the administration knows the cure to this disease, but they are unwilling to implement it. The cure is to give SGA the authority it rightfully deserves. STOP referring the issues to worthless committees! Get some administrators off their duffs and make them earn the salary WE are paying them!
