Reorganization
An alliance of the SGA Reorganization Committee and
the Senate Sub-committee on Organizational Control will be
working next semester to revamp SGA into what its Presi
dent Richard Haber yesterday termed “a better functioning
body.”
According to Haber, the reasoning behind this merging
New Hours

For SCCA
The Student Check Cashing
Agency will open next semes
ter on Feb. 3, but will operate
on a different schedule.
The SCCA ended its fall semes
ter operations before the Christ
mas recess.
According to Nancy Langsner,
advertising and personnel man
ager of the check cashing agencv,
the agency will be open next
semester from 10 a.m.-to 5 p,m.
Monday through Saturday. Due
to a lack of customers, however,
the agency will not operate on
Sundays as it has in the past.
Miss Langsner also asked that
students using the facilities of
the agency leave the “pay to the
order of” line on their checks
blank so that the agency can
stamp in the correct name.
In order to cash a check, a stu
dent must present his matric card
plus one other piece of identi
fication. The agency cashes per
sonal checks of less than $25 and
government and business checks
of less than $125.
The agency charges a fee to
cash checks in order to pay back
the SGA loan with which it was
set up and to provide money for
operating expenses.
The new SCCA Board of Con
trol for next semester will con
sist of Marcus Katzen, president;
Joel Stutz, vice president; Terril
Wein, secretary, and Miss Langs
ner, advertising and personnel
manager.
Rec Hall Expansion
Okayed by Trustees
Preliminary plans for a three-unit addition to the men’s
physical education building were approved at the Saturday
meeting of the Board of Trustees, according to John D. Miller,
head of the division of building construction.
The connected units will be located south of Recreation
Hall, Miller said, and one of the
units will be linked to the build
ing by passageways.
The addition, which will be
constructed by the General State
Authority, has an allocation of
$2,862 million, Miller said. The
architects will now proceed with
the final plans which will be com
pleted by Sept. 1, he added.
According to the proposed
plans, one of the units will bo
located immediately south of
the existing Rec Hall with a
part of the building located in
the area now occupied by ten
nis courts north of the Alpha
Zeta fraternity.
The top floor of this unit will
have classroom and office facili
ties, the main floor will provide
locker room and shower facili
ties and the lower level will
house bowling alleys.

of forces concerns the failure of
students to take a bold stand on
SGA's reorganization. “The Sen
ate Committee on Student Af
fairs (under which is the sub
committee on organizational con
trol) seems to agree that SGA
should have more responsibility,"
Haber said.
Some of the problems and
ideas being considered by the
reorganization committee con
cern possible changes to give
Cabinet more power and some
alteration in the representation
in Assembly. Also of major im
portance, according to Duane
Alexander, head of the commit
tee, is John Brandi's recent sug
gestion to Assembly that a pro
fessional executive secretary
be hired by SGA to represent
the students in their dealings
with Old Main.
The present SGA is operating
provisionally until its constitu
tion and record are evaluated by
the Senate Committee on Student
Affairs sometime in the spring.
Both Haber and Alexander
agreed yesterday that under
whatever new form SGA’ may
take, it will emerge as the cen
tral organization for every group
on campus, including community
living, in its scope.
Alexander also explained that
the Senate Sub-Committee will
be acting in an advisory capaci
ty to his Reorganization Com
mittee. "We are bringing them
our ideas on structure and rep
resentation for discussion. I’m
sure they will have proposals
too," he said.
One factor of the new organiza
tion that is definite, according to
Alexander, is that provision will
be made for SGA to operate un
der the four-term system. The
SGA cabinet will probably be the
governing body for the summer
term until enrollment becomes
high enough to warrant a year
round Assembly, he added.
another unit will contain ten
squash and handball courts
with an instructors' gallery for
] these activities. This unit will
be located on a site adjacent to
the caddy house which will be
removed as part of the project.
The largest unit of the project
is scheduled to be located to be
located West of the Alpha Zeta
fraternity, and will be a gym
nasium-type structure with floor
space for three basketball courts.
It will also include facilities for
classes in physical education.
Miller said that the most re
cent addition to the physical edu
cation building was in 1950 when
the south wing was constructed.
Rec Hall was originally construct
ed in 1927, he said.

Panhel Adopts Plan
For Quota Limitations
Panhellenic Council voted-last night to adopt a quota
limitation under which pledge quotas as well as chapter
limitations will be set by the council. This system will be in
effect for formal spring rush and is intended to accommodate
the four-term system, according to Marcia Hamm, Panhel
lenic Rush chairman.
Under this system the pledge quota will be determined
by dividing the number of rush
ees by the number of sorority
chapters. This quota will be flex
ible in that each sorority will
be able to pledge the quota num
ber plus the number necessary to
fill the chapter to the limitation
set by the council.
Sororities are under no obli
gation to fulfill the entire
pledge quota during formal
rush. Miss Hamm said.
Miss Hamm defined limitation
as the minimum number of mem
bers each sorority should have.
This number wil be established
by considering the total number
Of women on campus, the num
ber of women rushing and the
number of sorority women on
campus, she said. Neither the
chapter limitations nor the pledge
quota will be set until after reg
istration for formal rush.
"Over a period of lime, this
system will lend lc equalize the
number of members in each
chapter. Miss Hamm said, since
each sorority will be allowed to
rush through open bidding un
til it pledges enough women to
bring its number up lo the limi
tation.
In other business, the council
effected a constitutional change
which will alter the present struc
ture of the council. Under this
plan, representation at Panhellen
ic Council will consist of the pres
ident and a Panhellenic delegate
from each sorority. This change
will go into effect at the first

They completed their registra
tion three hours after Federal
Dist. Judge William A. Bootle
granted a temporary injunction at
Macon, Ga., restraining Gov. Er
nest Vandiver from, cutting off
funds under a slate law and clos
ing the school where the gover
nor obtained his law degree.
There was no fanfare as the
Negroes officially became stu
dents. Some 500 of lhe nearly
7,500 white boys and girls in at
tendance at Georgia stood quiet
ly outside lhe treasurer's office
as the fees were paid.
Bootle, 58, who precipitated
near pandemonium in state politi
cal circles last Friday by order
ing desegregation, enjoined both
the governor and State Auditor
B. E. Thrasher Jr. from interfer
ing with operation of the univer
sity.
Vandiver, 42, lashed back in a
stinging telegram to Bootle pro
testing his order but saying "my
respect for lawful processes and
my oath as governor preclude
any act of defiance on my part.”
Miss Hunter and Holmes
slipped into the administration
building through a rrar door to

She will study journalism. He
will continue premedical courses
and plans to transfer later to
the university Medical School

Bootle scheduled a hearing for
Thursday at Macon on making
the injunction permanent.
Mild Weather to Remain
Today will be partly sunny, al
though some high thin cloudiness
will be present. The high temper
ature will be about 43 degrees.
Partly cloudy and rather cold
weather is expected tonight and
a minimum temperature of 28 is
due.
Tomorrow will be mostly
cloudy and somewhat cooler. A
high of 37 is foreseen.
