Page 2—The Highacres Collegian, October 10,1977
From the Desk
of the S.G.A.
President
Nancy Klotsko
An important aspect of life here at
Highacres is the social life—specifically
the clubs.
This year, so far, three new clubs have
been started; the Highacres Video
Engineering (HAVE), Outings Club, and
the Weightlifting Club. This means that
Highacres now has twenty-seven clubs.
There is, on campus, a council of club
presidents called the Highacres Club
Advisory Council (H.C.A.C.). This group
meets every Tuesday at 12:45 in the S.G.A.
office to give club presidents a chance to
tell other club presidents what activities
their club is planning, to ask for
cooperation from the other clubs in staging
the events (such as help in moving the
tables in the Commons before and after a
dance), and to ask advice on how to make
the event a success. It also gives the clubs
a chance to compare ideas, thus helping to
avoid the scheduling of two events on the
same day or at the same time.
Notable events that H.C.A.C. sponsored
last year were the March of Dimes Walk-a-
Thon and the Mark Lane lecture.
An H.C.A.C. event is an event
cooperatively sponsored by all the clubs on
campus.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
ASSOCIATION ELECTIONS will be held
soon. There are ten Senatorial seats open
and everyone is eligible to run. Signs will
be appearing soon with further in
formation regarding the elections.

EDITORIAL OPINIONS
Many students who purchase their meals at the snack bar in the
Commons have realized a sudden increase in food prices. The price
increase cannot be blamed on Food Services. Each dollar Food
Services pays for food must be accompanied by an additional two
dollars which is used for maintenance wages, upkeep of equipment,
waste disposal and other expenses. Inflation is also a major factor
determining prices
In order to prevent a price increase, Food Services would
probably have to purchase lower quality materials.
One major area of concern is the condition of the Commons after
meals. If students are responsible and clean up their table when they
are finished, personnel would not have to be hired to clear off the
tables and clean the floors covered with trash.
Students were given sufficient warning stating that if the
Commons was not kept clean, in the longrun students would have to
pay.
Although prices were temporarily raised this year, Food Ser
vices has decided to lower prices again without reducing food
quality. One reason for this change is that students have recently
been cleaning the tables after they finish their meal. Hopefully this
trend will continue and the Commons will be kept clean thanks to the
efforts of conscientious students. The prices in the Commons are still
lower than in town for the same items.
If prices are to remain lower, students must be considerate of
others. This is your campus and you should be proud to take care of
