Committee Members Named By DON HARRIS The Student Senate has appointed six students to serve on committees of the Faculty Senate, formerly filled by faculty and administration members only. The action to place the students on these committees was announced recently but the steps to initiate the program were made by President Alex S, Pow at the time he assumed the Presidency last July. Appointed to the committee on Academic Affairs, was Ken Cobb, Vice President of the Day Student Government. Carol McRae and Jim Pope were appointed to the committee on Re- admissions. The students appointed to the committee on Housing and Food Services were Gary Mann , Patti Llnberger, while David Doyle was appointed to the Business Committee. Other students will serve on faculty committees, other than those appointed by the Student Senate. Among those students will be: Athletic Committee, the Presidents of Men's and Women's House Governments, President of the Day Student Government, and President of the Student Body; the Committee on Fraternities and Sororities, the Presidents of the Inter-Fraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, the Committee on Hospitality, the Vice- President of the Student Body, and the Publications Committee; the Public Relations Director of the Student Senate, the Editor of the WESTERN CAROLINIAN, and the Manager of the University Radio Station. Still more students, wh are to be appointed by the President of the Student Body, will serve on such committees as the Pro-, grams Committee, The Home-. coming Committee, the Committee on Student Activities, and the Student Appropriations Committees. Extension of membership to the broad range of standing committees, and enlargement of student representation on committees of which students already were members, are designed "to increase the appropriate , responsible student involvement in the University affairs," according to President Pow. DZ To Hold Mock Election The Sisters of Delta Zeta Sorority will sponsor a mock national and state election on November fifth from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. The polls will be located in the lobby of McKee CHARLES SUTTON This is the first such organization in the state and is de signed to allow member schools to work together to mutually solve problems related to student government. According to Sutton, the leader of this movement, "We are very enthusiastic about this step toward unifying North Carolina's student government associations." Sutton appointed Wayne Baldwin, a senior from Burlington and former Presidential Assistant, to organize this pre- llminary meeting. Registration for this meeting will take place Friday, from 4 until 8 p.m. The Saturday meetings will last from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., with a dinner meeting at 6 p.m. President Pow is scheduled to speak at this meeting DSC Changes Date Of Next Week's Meeting By KEN BALL There has been a change in the meeting of the Day Student Council, The next meeting will be next Wednesday, Nov. 6. The Day Student Council meets every other week at 7:00 in the conference room of the University Center. Ken Cobb, Vice-President of the Day Student Government Association serves as presiding chairman of the .council. At the last meeting projects were begun by the housing Committee, headed by Bob Nesbitt and the Parking Committee, directed by Terry Nevius, At the present the Parking Committee is working to remedy the parking situation on campus. The Health and Safety Office has issued a great number more C-stickers than there are parking spaces designated for commuters. Also, about fifty of these spaces are being illegally used every day by cars with no registration stickers or those to be used in other areas. Last week, the housing committee distributed forms all over the campus to be filled out by students who live in off-campus houses. These students were asked to list where they live and give their opinions of the living conditions there. A list of this type is badly needed to aid Freshmen and transfer students find housing who are unable to or who do not wish to stay in the dorm. Those students who live off- campus, even those who stay at home, are reminded that all Day Students must turn in their addresses to the Housing Office KEN COBB by tomorrow. Due to the number of emergency telephone calls and telegrams which the school has received this year but could not be delivered, the Housing Office is requiring every Day Student to submit his address. If Day Students do not respond to this request action will be taken by the Day Student Government Judiciary Body and those who do not turn in their addresses may be fined.
