Vol. 1 No. 5 deaden, Sfcotlifyktb Trash The Reader spotlights the innovative method of cleaning up the halls. The clutter of printed signs is an eyesore in the college community. You can’t see -the forest for the trees. Often times, students can read a bulletin board and not be at all enlightened to the activities on campus. One finds that he can read several bulletin boards and gain conflicting and useless knowledge. There are several areas that list or attempt to list the campus activities and they give all a half-truth. One example is the time listed for the past Saturday’s soccer match. The C.C. Calendar of Events printed the time for 2:00 in the afternoon. The Activities calendar and the Hot Line had it printed as 8:00 in the evening. The bulletin board in the hall if the main stair case is the major area of complaint. Material was hanging that had been dated for months. The i layers of paper manifested the thoughtless hanging of signs. No one cared what was underneath as long as their sign was on top. ♦ The Reader congratulates the mysterious marauder for doing everyone a favor - cleaning up the school. The Reader fears that his work was in vain and has the following suggestions. First, a coherent system of gathering the information on ALL activities should be delegated to one office. The Student Activities Office is the logical choice. This information should be posted in one area. This listing should be completed and not a half-truth. Secondly, the printed signs announcing club meetings should not be used. The signs are ugly to begin with and are ineffective. The clubs should depend on the single activity calendar and work with the publicity co-ordinators if they need additional publicity. Thirdly, the suggested area for posting the information is the canvass boards by the front doors. They are easily accessible to the student body and a visitor can find what is going on in the school without having to read every scrap of paper on the walls of the building. Lastly, there is a paper shortage. The massive practice of wasting paper at Capitol is abominable. It should be stopped. The Reader is taking steps itself to cut down on newsprint. We hope the mysterious marauder has taught the school a lesson. Maybe we can work together to keep the clutter out of the halls and to get a more efficient method of announcing campus happenings. ** * * Deferred Tuition by Bill Matthews As many of you may know deferred tuition this fall was a little more painful than it had been in the past. The reason being, the tight budget situation at University Park. This winter term it will get worse, (according to John Taylor, the finance officer). So you should be prepared in that you may not be able to defer tuition at ALL. Watch for all publications concerning tuition payments in the near future. It could have an adverse effect on you. ** * * S.G.A. ELECTIONS TODAY PUBLICITY COORDINATORS The position of publicity coordinator has been filled by not one but two extremely capable students.

The adopted resolution reads BE IT RESOLVED: Because of the tendency to punish those who merely experiment with the use of small quanities of marijuana and to apply too serious penalties to them, rather than to concentrate on detecting and punishing sellers of the drug, there should be no criminal laws punishing the simple possession of marijuna by users.

(Both Junior and Seniors may vote as provided for in Article XII Section 3 of the SGA Constitution.) One of the votes must be cast for a candidate in the voters respective Department while the second may be used at the voters discression. The Junior and Seniors voting will also have a vote to cast for or against proposed Constitutional revisions. It should be pointed out that the proposed revisions, if approved by a sufficient number of the student body, will clear up a good number of ambiguities in the present Constitution. I urge all students to approve the revisions in the Constitution and to cast their vote for ' their Senatorial candidate. A vote, in a broad sense, is a statement that you give a damn about this community. Do you? take Note the decriminalization of non-profit casual transfers of marijuana. Cecil Poole, delegate of the Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities, introduced the measure.
