These onimittee appointments must be carefully considered in uder to Obtain the most desirable arrangements of senior and freshman senators; of the 18 senators now comprising the senate, only three are technically considered to be senior senators. One other senator has extensive knowledge of some of the, if not the most delicate inner-workings of SGA, how.ever alter years of experience is a senator for the first time. When'under consideration for any job, prospective employers will be impressed with BA's and MA's. However, any employer worth workjng for will want to see some way in which you have exercised practical, working knowledge of whatever field il may be in. In oilier words, experience is a prime factor to be considered by any intelligent corporate entity. Therefore, il would seem \inwise tit overlook practical what •; people the likchhood ol tnuline the exit to the ma/c. i coned path. On the Other hand, knowledge must be saddled by i\ isdoni: abuse of know ledge shows only stupidity.

SGA will take a hard stand on issues that will have as their aim the upgrading of this institution's academic quality and reputation. Secondly, we will mount an intensive campaign to get a commitment from the administration for the transformation of the present administration building into a student activity center. Thirdly, there are a number of present practices within the structure of SGA that deserve attention. The reformation of the SGI' committee, the Student Handbook staff and residence hall governments are just a few of these.

I have previously attended UNC-Chapel Hill and am residing here until October or November. I am looking forward to some of the lectures in the new course "University Forum for Contemporary Issues" as I noticed the discussions are open to the public. However, I would also enjoy some of the movies WCU is planning. 1 noticed that students, faculty and staff (only) are invited. Would you let me know how I can be admitted? Perhaps students are all allowed 1 or 2 guests asatUNC-CH? Rob Daves' article was terrific. He is absolutely correct in that there is more to do outdoors right here than in any other part of the state (unless you want to drive 600 miles to the coast). I also appreciated the restaurant guide, and the photos were nice of the campus. Aila Sundclis Thanks for the good words, Alia! We suggest just trying to walk in on one of thw movies, but if that doesn't work, trying paying!
