  • PAGE 4/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/MARCH, 8, 1979 Filing to continue through March V.P. announces election dates by LANE GARDNER Senate Reporter SGA spring elections will be held Tuesday, April 10. as announced by SGA Vice President Ben Travis at Monday night's Senate meeting. Candidates may now file tor president, vice president and other elected seats within student government. Filing will continue through March. In senate business, two major resolutions were presented for vote. One was accepted and the other defeated. A bill to help relieve the backlog of cases in traffic court passed unanimously. The bill, SR 769, now impowers the public defender with the authority to plead "no contest" to cases in which a student fails to appear in court on his or her behalf. Another bill, SR 770, to "implement a plan" to place polls in the dormitories for spring elections failed after a roll call vote was taken. Before the vote, there was considerable debate. In further business, a presidential veto statement was read concerning SR 765, the appropriation of $118 in emergency funds to the Barbell Club. The veto was overturned by consent of the senate. In new business, two resolutions were referred to the committee on rules. SR 773 is an act to "request" the installation of cable television facilities in the residence halls. SR 775 is an act to approve the members of the 79-80 Student Handbook Committee. The Committee on Finance presented an act, SR 774, to authorize special appropriations for SGA approved clubs and organi/ations lor the spring semester of 1979. Those clubs and Organizations included in the report were the Organization of Ebonv Students ($500). the English Club ($50). the Outing Club ($100). the Student Association for Government and Legal Affairs ($1,500). NCSL ($290). the Nomad ($2,000). the Barbell Club ($268), Amnesty International ($40) and the Ski Club ($180). The bill was passed. In final business, the expenditure reports for November and December of 1978 were presented. November expenditures were $1,470.48, leaving an unencumbered balance of $6,481.41. December expenditures were $680.10, leaving an unencumbered balance of $5,801.31. Polls still not in the dorms Senate squabbles over location Polls will not be placed in the dormitories for the SGA elections on April 10. After considerable debate at Monday night's SGA Senate meeting, it was decided to stick with the old method of one poll located in the UC. The debate started with Mark Asa, senator and author of the soon to be defeated bill, speaking in favor of polls in the dorms. He said, "I think this would be a good idea because it will increase convenience to students and increase voter participation." Asa suggested that if polls were placed in the dorms it would force the candidate to go to the students, thus encouraging voter participation. He also said that it would "break up the campaign a good bit." Asa acknowledged the fact that problems could result if the dorm polls were implemented. "But." he said, "I believe that there are ways to go around these problems. "The reason I put the bill in this form (The bill called for work on a "plan" to place polls in the dorms, not their actual placement.) was so that the Flections Commission could have the final say in case any problems should arise... If the Millions Commission feels the bill cannot be implemented, then they can go to the old method of one poll in the UC." Asa concluded his statement bv saying, "There's no problem with this bill. It can only do good. If harm is found, the Elections Commission will choose not to put it through." Speaking against the idea of polls in the dormitories was Wanda Nelson, president of SGA. She addressed the senate, "If we put polls in the dorms, that's not going to make candidates go to the dorms. Also, if we put polls in the dorms, that is not necessarily going to increase dorm participation in voting." Nelson maintains that the dorms are not a more convenient place for students to vote. She says, "There is not a more convenient place for students to vote than the student center. It is the center of student activity." Nelson also reimphasized a point brought up by Senator Katie Cunningham at the meeting. If polls were placed in the dorms, it would interfere with SR 743, a bill passed back in November, which called for "dinner on the lawn" on election day so that students would be encouraged to vote. Nelson also argued that there would be a lot of security problems involved with dorm voting. In closing, Nelson pointed out that dorm voting would prevent the use of "regular voting booths (provided by Jackson County) where a student can go in and pull the curtain and mark his one secret ballot." Greek Beat Lambda Chi Alpha Because we are "secret societies." established primarily for the benefit of our own membership, we are often accused of being elitist and isolationist. It is a fact that we have sought out the most outstanding students of scholarship, leadership, and talent. Through the years our members have made impressive records both on the campus and as productive citizens in society. We cannot help being proud of these member. Some have been attracted to the fraternity because they felt that membership in it would give them instant social status and importance. That really never worked.

During the flood of students to college and university campuses after World War II, fraternities were forced to establish artificial membership selection procedures. Because the fraternity since its beginning has been built on a small-group living-learning basis, fraternities could simply not expand rapidly enough to take all students who wanted to join (The twenty largest college fraternities alone added 1523 chapters in this period). In an effort to choose their members many chapters established arbitrary and unfair criteria. Since this flood has ceased (college enrollment is expected to increase by only one-half of one per cent this year) and fraternities are no longer the "socially in thing to do," they now have an opportunity to be much more diversified and attract those men who see their value and want to be member. The fact that today's undergraduate member is an individual who joined the fraternity because of its real value instead of its superficial social status we have a better fraternity. This new fraternity man is making needed changes within the fraternity. One of the most •Turn to Page 15, Please ataoofcaraoKsx^j^^ FREE DELIVERY PIZZA ONLY!
