The Organization of Student Gov
ernment Associations (OSGA)
took favorable action last week
end on the Board of Student Life
and . Welfare proposal Associated
Graduation proposal, Intergovern
mental Relations Act and other
major' bills.
Delegates from all but the Cap-
itor Campus student govevrnments
were meeting for a state confer
ence of the OSGA . General As
sembly at the 'University Park
Campus for the two-day affair.
The assembly voted to "agree
in principle with the creation of
a Board of Student Life arid Wel
fare". A motion to curtail- the
discussion until the Common
wealth Campuses get guidelines
"-for a BSLW from the Executive
Committee of OSGA was defeated
on the floor.
The Assembly accepted a joint
proposal• • which provided for each

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

New Visitation Policies Won't
AffedCommonwealthCampus
UNIVERSITY PARK (APS)--Commonwealth Campuses will not be affected by the new ruling on
resident hall visitation and conduct policies, according to Bob Misko, Commonwealth Campus repre-
Lsentative on the University Senate Committee on Undergraduate Student Affairs (SCUSA).
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,.

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
