The assembly voted to "agree in principle with the creation of a Board of Student Life arid Wel fare".

Conference that each campus was unique and should be allowed to develop the Board in accordance with its own needs and problems._ The Board was first introduced to OSGA last Fall Term and in theory would eliminate the pre sent concept of student govern ment and replace it with an or ganization that would control all non-academic areas of student affairs. The Assembly voted unanim ously to endorse th eßehrend Campus proposal on Associate Degree Graduations. The propos al stressed the cost and time ments involved _and the two-year student's closer association with his campus. The measure pointed out the advantage - of crnstiler ceremonies not only for_ the in- Atvliclual campuses, but also at University Park. In an effort to muster support for the' measure, Behrend also asked for letters of endorsement :from "each -, campus, . which_ would •be compiled and distributed to ,the University Senate; the appropri ate * - Senate committee, the Uni versitypresident and the Board .Trustees.

The revised Senate Rule Z-13, passed in the University Senate Tuesday, could in its full inter pretation give the University Park resident halls the power to determine their own policies, which could include 24-hour vis itation. Misko said .SCUSA was afraid to revise Section E (formerly Sec tion G) which is the binder affect ing the Commonwealth Campus es, at this time "because it might have caused static and hindered the passing of the new ruling." Section E, which -was not revis ed, stipulates that each Common wealth Campus - will have the "privilege" of regulating visitation and conduct in resident halls, ".throug4_ procedures regularly used for the folnnilataon of local policies.". . Investigation is being conduc ted by both the SCUSA commit tee and the Organization of Stu dent 1 Government Associations (OSGA) to find a way to modify _ .'~ graduate Student Government (USG) to be ex-officio non-vot ing members of each other's as semblies. This would "establish an intercourse and fluid exchange of expression between the OSGA and USG." It was passed by the assembly. Discussions of Senate Rule Z-13, which deals with student conduct in residence halls and visitation policies, demonstrated that camp uses favor a modification of the rule. The Asscmbly charged that the rule is too ambiguous and delivers the interpretation of the rule into the hands of the ad infrtißtrators. Boweier, this was passed by the 'University Sen.= ate on Wednesday. The Sensate Selection Proce dures proposal, setting, down the rules for election of representa tives to the University Senate was passed: It provideS for appli cations to: be sent to all possible candidates at Commonwealth CaMpuses .and„University Park. ; Besides - iertding. a written .carri paign statement - to each campus, each candidate will be interview ed .by the Executive._ Committee,. In the regional:Conferenots and. before - the; General. A:ssnably..Blec -tion will be bYple„ plurality, with. the runner-up= rarmer-up; the Senate. this section of Z-13 so that it might be more consistant with University Park policy. "What we have to find out," says Charles Mills, also a SCUSA representative, "is where the power now lies at each campus, with the deans of student affairs or the directors?" A polling of Commonwealth Campus student government pre sidents at the OSGA conference held last weekend 'showed eight campuses to be in favor' of mod ifying it, and two campuses with no response, according to Mills. The Capitol Campus, which did not attend the conference, sent him suggestions for revision of the section, Mills also said. - Misko_ cited some' examples -to the inconsistancy in regulations at the different campuses. Ac cording to OSGA investigations the Beaver Campus has regula tions similar to University Park; Dußois Campus Is not permitted to have an visitation, because the residence hall is privately owned. Other campuses have visitation every other Sunday for three hours. Altoona, residents conduct ing open house must keep their rooms open while visitors of the opposite sex are in them. Mills told APS that they would B.J. Thomas Concert Sunday In Erie Hall Billy Joe Thomas was born 24 years ago in Houston, Texas. At At the age of 14 he joined the church choir and subsequently the choral group at High School, of which he became President. He de cided to make singing his career because of his admiration for Roy Head, who was the leading singer in the area. He became friendly with Roy, and he made up his mind that one day he - would be come a singer. While in High School, he began to _sing with a group of boys known as 'the Triumphs.. On week ends they played all the small towns in the area and made quite a name for themselves. B. J. wrote a tune, "The Lazy. Man", which was recorded and was a - big record locally. Over the 4th of Z'uly week-end B. J. and the group played at a State Park in Texas and Charles Booth, President of Pacemaker .Records, heard the group and J. He knew immed iately that B. J. had the talent and the..potential to make . it. His first record, "I'm So Lonesome Could, Cry" was an instant hit in Houston and was brought to the attention of Scepter Records: they bought-the master and signed. the artist. The rest is history; Lone- have to "sit down to rewrite Sec tion-G and submit it informally to the deans and directors of the campuses." If they like it, they would send it to SCUSA for approval, and it should reach the University Senate in April. If this revision. is accomplished, it should be in effect by next Fall Term, accord ing to Mills. "If they don't like it, we will rewrite it until they da,"Mills added. One idea being formulated is to have a board at each campus de termine all policies concerning visitation and conduct for (the campus. According to Mills, the students on this board would have atwo-thirds- majority. Of the campuses that have cir culated questionaires on visitation policies, 600 have been returned to OSGA, according to Misko. OSGA has not compiled the re sults of the questionaires yet. Some difficulties have stood In the way of receiving more ques tionaires. At one campus, Misko said, the dean will not permit questionaires on this subject to be run off on the campus equipment. and OSGA must do this and send the questionaires to the home 02 the student government president some was followed by "Mama". which also made the top of the charts in this country and was number 1 in Australia.
