Public Apaty Hurts When Help Needed Mary Hillaire, of the Lummi Indian Tribe, speaks during a panel discussion of the Indian Education Workshop here at Central. Other participants in the discussion are, from left, Dave Rissling, Leman Brightman, Ben Wright and Wlllard Bull. "We can't do it alone," said Tandy Wilbur, manager of the Snohomish Indian Tribal Coma munity. Wilbur spoke to a group of about 35 teachers on educa* tion July 15 as part of the Indian education program on campus this summer. "We have felt for a long time that Indian people are probably the least understood of any­ body in the country," Wilbur said. He further said that al­ though most people recognize a difference in Indians few know what it is. The difference comes from a 20,000 year-old culture which existed previous to the white man's invasion of the land and aggression against the Indian* It is a culture of loving and respecting one's fellow man and elders and the enjoyment of be­ ing with people. It "taught them to be good people and never take something belong* ing to someone else," Wilbur said. "Indian ldds going from a re* servation to a white school are from a different background," CENTRAL WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE m Vol. 42 No. 26 CENTRAL WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE Friday, July 25, 1969 Speaker Talks On "Lucky Indian' J Lehman Brightman, founder and president of the United Nat* ive Americans (UNA) an inter- national militant Indian organ­ ization, was the featured speak­ er at Dr. ClaytonDenman'sInd­ ian Education Workshop, Thurs­ day, July 17. The UNA is one and one-half years old and was formed to bring both pride and confidence to the Indian. It currently has over 8,000 mem­ bers. Brightman is an Indian from South Dakota. He said that the only thing that kept him from dropping out of school was that he happened to be big and could play football. Football was also his ticket to college. He now holds a masters degree in Education. He is one of a small percentage of Indians with a college ecucation. He is working to change that fact. During the recent Senate hearings over the appointment of Walter Hickeil as Secretary of the Interior, Brightinan was one who testified. He opposed Hickel on his past record. Bri- ghtman testified that Hickel de­ stroyed private enterprise wttit Eskimos in Alaska when he kil­ led a fishing contract between the Eskimos and the Japanese. The Indians do not trust Hickel, Brightman said. They are a- fraid that he will take the Ind­ ians' land away, build dams on it, open it up for settlement and drain all oil from it. Brightman asked the Senate who was going to protect the Indians if Hickel's appointment was approved. To emphasise" his last remarks he commented that "they flooded out my re­ servation called Cheyenne Re­ servation in South Dakota so I speak from facts." Some of the other topics cov­ ered in the UNA President's speech were religion, educat­ ion, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and civil rights. He said that freedom of religion was taken from the Indians in 1884 with the passage of a fed­ eral law that forced Christian­ ity upon them. ' This law was not repealed until 1933. His account of Indian schools told of unqualified teachers, poor food, libraries that were open for only one hour each day and included no books of Indian his­ tory. One school, the Sherman Institute at Riverside, Calif, was even named after General Sherman, a notorious Ind­ ian hater, according to Bright- man. The Stewart Institute, another Indian school in California has a curriculum that includes a training program designed to turn out competent house paint­ ers. The USA's newspaper is cal­ led "Warpath." Information concerning both the newspaper and UNA can be obtained by writing to: United Native Am­ ericans Inc., P. O. Box 26149 San Francisco, Calif. Hie new­ spaper includes articles per­ taining to Indian history, poetry, culture, and other items of int­ erest to Indians and other Am­ ericans . Following is an excerpt from a poem published in the "War­ path." THAT LUCKY INDIAN Fred Cochise, an Apache, was a lucky Indian, He was a lucky Indian Not many Indian boys can go to Stewart Institute Only a few are chosen Only a few can spend three hours a day Three hours a day, all for Learning the important, things, like Painting outhouses." Brightman said that he wants to change things with the Ind­ ians. Wilbur said. They have nothing to identify with—always the bad guy on TV and in history books, "it's time we taught the good things about Indians. Give them some­ thing to feel good about," he continued. Treaties and reservations forced Indians to change a 20,- 000 year-old culture and relin­ quish many freedoms. "Theli dian has taken a lickin' all the way through all of these things," Wilbur said. However, changes in the last 10 years have given more self- choice to Indians. The 1945 Indian Organization Act was put to a ballot and those accepting it received several privileges. Tribes or nations set up con­ stitutions, bylaws, charters and corporations. The corporation "makes im­ provements and develops human and natural resources," Wilbur said. Developing the mental re* sources through education can be done through remedial sum­ mer schools, student teachers doing home studies with chil­ dren, head start programs, and simple teacher interest in the children. The prejudice that "Indian kids are slow-learners" must also be overcome, however. Wil­ bur, as well as many in the audience, emphasized that the children are not dumb, but often uninspired or bored by the low expectancy of them held by many teachers. When asked about a state­ ment to Central students, tea* chers and those planning to teach, Wilbur said, "I believe that apathy is a tremendous thing. ' People take Indians for granted. They think that the federal government is taking care of them and, consequent­ ly, all their problems are solv­ ed. This is far from the truth. Indians have fought for every­ thing they've got. But, we can't do it alone. We need people in education to help." Board OKs Alcohol Rule Change Approves $25 Million Budget Central's Board of Trustees adopted the proposed regulation regarding alcohol on campus at their meeting in Seattle a week ago today. In seeking the change, Tim Wing, SGA president, noted that the present regulation forbids use of alcohol on or off cam­ pus by college groups or at college-sanctioned events.Wing claimed such a policy was hy- procritical because it forced of - age students to break the law. He said this in turn set a bad ex­ ample for younger students. Tom Dalglish, special assist­ ant attorney general, noted there is no state prohibition a- gainst otherwise lawful use of alcohol on the state's college campuses. The Board adopted the proposal but only after ass­ urance was given that provls*' ions of the state law concern­ ing sale of alcohol to minors would be included in the stud­ ent handbook as well as poss. ession of alcohol by minors and also assurance that resid­ ence hall leaders would be thor­ oughly oriented concerning the use of alcohol. Dr. Y. T. Witherspoon, - dean of students, assured the Trustees that the regulation change would not give students a carte-blanche privilege to drink on campus since the stud­ ent honor code governs stu­ dent behavior. In other action, the Board adopted design and development drawings for phase two of Cen­ tral's Student Village. The Village opened last fall and pro­ vides students with a living- learning experience including both formal and informal learn­ ing situations. Phase two of the village, as designed by Fred Bessetti and Company Archit­ ects of Seattle, will include 122 two-bedroom apartments, 14 three-bedroom apartments plus eight experimental apartment units, each with movable part­ itions which will allow students to choose from several possible room arrangements. There will also be a multi-purpose build- ing with four 20' x 30' rooms that can be used as classrooms or combined for other purposes. Total budget for the project is $2,346,000, for which a F ederal Housing and Urban Dev­ elopment loan is pending. It is hoped the Village addition can be completed by fall 1970. The Trustees also ap- * proved an operating budget of $25,545,212 for the 1979- 71 biennium. Dr. John Terrey, executive assistant to the president, noted the budget falls short of the proposed bud­ get of $31,001,601, submitted to the Legislature. He said every effort was made in the new budget to provide salaries which will attract and hold a quality faculty however, other important services, supplies, equipment and programs have been deferred.
CAMPUS CRIER, Friday, Pag« 2 Tier SPOTLIGHTS OPINION Pa lis Observer Sees PeaceTalksStagnant BY SUE PARTEN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF "Nothing is going on in the Paris Peace Talks—it's all ri­ tualistic there is no real dis­ cussion, and no real move* ment," said Mr. Ken Klrkpa- trick, peace education secretary for the Seattle office of the American Friends Service Com­ mittee. "It's not what the United states says, it's what it does/' Kirk. Patrick told a Curbstone aud­ ience in the Cage, .July 14. ~ Kirkpatrick, recently return* ed from two months in Paris where he was an observer at the talks* offered interpretations of the present attitude there toward the United States. . "Nixon is seen as being very involved in building a foreign policy. His present policy is basically the same as Johnson's, except the war is escalating," Kirkpatrick said. When the bombing halt went into effect, the National Libera­ tion Front (NLF) was engaged in no major offensive action. But, the Americanforces activity had increased 100 percent, accord­ ing to Kirkpatrick. "The message in this case was not peace—the image Nixon seemed so concerned about," he said. In terms of influence, the U.S. government is seen in another light by most members of the talks (the U.S. and Sai­ gon excluded). "The Saigon government is a puppet government. Thieu and Ky, the two military leaders of South Viet Nam approved by the U.S., must go, before negotia­ tions can take place," Kirk. Patrick said. "Since 1966, no coups were made against the South Vietna­ mese government because of the fear that the U.S. would in- terfere," he said. In the elections that were held two years ago, the peo­ ple who could run for office could not be in favor of end­ ing the war, or peace, Kirk. Patrick continued. Thus, when Thieu and Ky offered free elec­ tions to the NLF, they were re­ jected because of the type of government and people who were proposing the measure, accord­ ing to Kirkpatrick. As to the success or failure of "secret" peace talks and the proposed troop withdrawals, Kirkpatrick commented: "The secret talks don't mean any­ thing. Nobody dose to the peace talks took them serious­ ly." "Troop withdrawal is in the same category, and is seen by those at the talks as an at­ tempt by the administration to appease opposition at home and abroad," Kirkpatrick said. On the issue of withdrawal, 100,000 troops could be taken out of Viet Nam witout affect­ ing the offensive movements, he said. "The token withdrawal of 25,- 000 troops was only a propa­ ganda measure to relieve pres­ sure at home," Kirkpatrick said. To end the Vietnamese con­ flict, Kirkpatrick suggested a four-point proposal that could be agreeable to both sides. The first step for both sides would be to stop all offensive actions. Second, a discussion and agreement on reciprocal- mutual withdrawal must be made. At present, this move would not be acceptable to the NLF because they see the U.S. as the aggressor. However, the process of with­ drawal is negotiable on a time­ table basis. The evacuation of North Vietnamese troops could be accomplished by less formal methodis of withdrawal, as the conflict lessened. Third, a mutual peace agree­ ment must be made which in­ volves the removal of Thieu and Ky from the present govern­ ment. The fourth step would Involve the establishment of a provi­ sional coalition government. This government would be re­ sponsible for the withdrawal of U.S. troops, the organization of free elections, and the es­ tablishment of the machinery for a constitutional assembly. This last step, highly favor­ ed by representatives at the peace talks, could end the con­ flict, according to Kirkpatrick. "The U.S. is unwilling to deal with the issues because it's been on the wrong sidefor 15 years," he said. "They're trying to solve po­ litical, social, economical and human problems with a mili­ tary response," Kirkpatrick said. if * n , gppp I Published weekly on Fridays during the academic year except during examination weeks and holidays by students of Central Washington State College.

Morris : Staff Writer Throughout the world, college They met with defeat and frus- students are beginning to take an active role in politics. But where ever they do, a major problem arises—a lack of non­ violent means through which to express ideas. Students in sup­ posedly democratic societies, are not nearly as unfortunate as those suppressed by totalitar­ ian governments, for students here do have a potential means of expression. Early attempts by students to lobby for their needs ended In frustration and defeat. They were unorganized white (or gray) knights trying to explain unique and-or unpopular ideas to a hardcore established sys­ tem that had no desire to open the door for another political faction. The student discontent spread from campus issues to national and world issues, and yet our government chose to use totalitarian suppression to muffle student voices, rather than listen to student criti­ cisms. The students were or­ dered back to the classroom, where they must take classes set forth by a system that ex­ cludes them from the decision making. They were to stay there (or go In to the Army) until they, too, were able to ignore the wrongs of our so­ ciety and join the establish­ ment. . In the winter of 1968, the Council of Washington State Stu- tration, but went on to reor­ ganize their efforts last* spring. The end product was a state­ wide Political Action Commit­ tee that will solidify and give direction to student lobbying. Beginning with the 1970 leg­ islative session, the committee will hire a professional infor­ mation man to help keep stu­ dents informed and direct them toward the proper people to deal with concerning each issue. Each of the five state schools is organizing committees and classes to research topics in depth, so that when students explain their proposals to leg­ islators they will be able to present complete information. If students truly want' to achieve their proposals, and if the older generation truly wants to end student unrest—this could be an effective step forward. If the students find that concrete efforts within the system are more productive than violence against it, many may decide to work for changes In the Es­ tablishment by established means. But if students are only confronted with hostility in their legitimate attempts toward change by nonviolent means, they will be forced to continue the use of violence to achieve these goals. The new avenue has been opened, it is up to both generations' to use it or suffer the consequences of vio- dent Body Presidents began to lent revolution—matched by vio' support student lobbying action, lent suppression. {lETTERS TO THE EDITOR One Of Two Babies Dies In First Year Please allow me to share with your readers the most horrible statement I have ever read, it appears on page E- 5282 of the "Congressional Re­ cord" of June 25, 1969 in a let­ ter from Professor E.J. Sternglass, professor of Radio­ logy and director of radiation, physics at the University of Pittsburgh. His letter states that he de­ livered a paper in May 1969, at the Hanford Laboratories in Washington that he has com­ pleted a computer analysis of infant mortality in the United States from 1935 to 1966 that excess infant mortality has reached 72 per cent above the normally expected mortality in the United States as a whole as of 1966 that this Is almost one out of every two babies who died before reaching age one that there is a state-by- state and year-by-year direct correlation in the excess over the normally expected infant mortality that this is from the peace time testing of fis­ sion products prior to the test ban treaty that this is many times more serious than any anticipation and that other couiv* tries are also affected. Reference is also made to an article on this topic by Dr. Sternglass in the April 1969 issue of the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists". In that article, he states that excess mortality for infants is now at the rate of 34,000 a year an(* shows no decrease on rate. Many statistics and graphs are includ- ed. With this information for back­ ground, I would now like to quote from his letter what is the most horrible statement I have ever read: "if, as seems difficult to explain in any other way, the release of 200 mega­ tons of fission products during peacetime testing led to the death of about 1 extra infant out of every 100 born, then the release of the fission products from some6,000or so A BM war­ heads each containing two to four megatons, and a total of some 15,000 incoming Russian warheads, (means) then es­ sentially no infants would sur­ vive to maturity either in the U.Si, or any other country in the world."

Teacher Development Workshop Stresses Better Communication CAMPUS CRIER, Friday, Page 3 A. Teacher Development La» boratory, designed to improve teacher performance in the classroom and administrative practices in school-districts, colleges, education associa» tions, and state education departments, will be held at Central Washington State Col­ lege July 27 to August 15. A rriving in teams of from two to five members, the 108 par- illlilp* Bob Larson,, student shown aboVe^is participating in a poetry reading session sponsored by the Central Poetry Union. Amateur PoetsShareldeas A poetry reading will be given by three Central poets Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. in Black 101. The poets will be Central students Kent Duvault, Michael Sullivan and Linda McDuffee. The Central Washington State DrugBooklet Publication "Tuned In or Turned Off," a drug handbook written and edited by Dr. Don McAfee, as­ sociate professor of health edu­ cation, will be distributed to every Central student during Fall Quarter registration under the auspices of the Drug Ad­ visory Committee. This stu« dent-faculty committee has made suggestions and infor- , mally gained the reaction of various other student groups to the initial drafts of the hand­ book. According to Dr. Mc­ Afee, the comments received have been favorable and very constructive. The booklet emerged from the committee's feelings that stu­ dents should be provided with scientifically objective mater­ ial about drugs. The format of the handbook is intended to appeal specifically to the col­ lege student. The objective of the handbook is to present non- biased information about mod­ ern society's use of all types of drugs to enable the student to weigh the alternatives and make his own decisions about the subject. Central is presently one of the few campuses with such an advisory committee. The group has already been instrumental in recommending policies to the administration and bringing speakers to campus. It is also planning to sponsor a sympo­ sium this fall. Poetry Union is sponsoring the reading. The purpose of the readings is to get people who are stu­ dent poets and those who enjoy poetry, together. Also, the readings will give student poets a chance to meet each other, .talk to each other and share ideas. The Poetry Union would like to continue its readings Fall Quarter and the regular school year. Mark Halperin, instruc­ tor in English, said that more people are needed to help with the mechanics and to discover' new and additional things to do at the readings. Halperin is working with tne Poetry Union but wants "to remain in the background" so that students may be in charge of the readings. Group Studies Campus ROTC Persons interested in con­ tributing information or ideas to the Central Ad-Hoc ROTC Study Committee have been ask. ed to contact Dr. E. Smith Mur­ phy, committee chairman. The faculty-student committee was appointed by the Central President's Council and Fac­ ulty Senate to study the future role of the ROTC on the Cen­ tral campus. There is pre­ sently a two-year Air Force ROTC program at Central. Dr. Murphy said the commit­ tee will hold its final summer meeting Wednesday, July 30. Anyone wishing to appear before the committee at that time, in order to present information which might be useful to the committee, should contact Dr. Murphy. The campus telephone number is 963-1905. The Study Committee will hold more meetings next fall and report its findings and rec­ ommendations by the end of Fall Quarter. ticipants will attend classes in three principal areas of study during the workshop. One of the areas is aimed at increas­ ing skills in problem-solving a second will hopefully improve communications between teach­ ers and students the third area will help participants develop new skills of interaction. The Laboratory is sponsored jointly by the National Educa­ tion Association, Oregon Edu­ cation Association and Wash- lugtuii i^uucacion Association, in consortium with Central's De­ partment of Education. It is funded by a $50,000 grant from the U.S. Office of Education. Much of the instructional ma­ terial to be used during the work­ shop was designed by the North­ west Regional Educational La­ boratories in Portland. Twenty educators from Washington and Oregon, who attended a leaders' workshop last December, will arrive on campus a week a- head of the development labor­ atory to complete their prepar­ ation as trainers for the ses­ sion. Those attending the Labora­ tory, most of whom are from the Northwest, will live and participate in classes at Cen­ tral's Student Village. The village completed in time for last fall's classes, lends itself to what Dr. Alexander Howard of Central calls the "live-in learn-in" approach to instruc­ tion. Howard, who is campus coordinator for the workshop, said all classes will be held in an informal setting in the Vil­ lage's coed dormitories. Dr. Charles Jung of NWREL, one of the principal designers of the material for the labora­ tory, said the training mater­ ials were prepared in an ef­ fort to effect rapid diffusion of skills. The teaching function of the participants will be carried on when they return to their sch­ ools or colleges. ! '! : I JH 7 V ~ $ ' limit!

Cheerleaders Invade Central Perimeter The Central campus will be the scene of the 1969 Song and Yell Leaders Workshop, spon­ sored by the Washington State Association of Secondary School principals. To be divided into two, 5- day sessions, beginning July 22, the Workshop will involve stu­ dents from nearly 300 of the state's high schools. Delgates to the workshop will attend formal lectures concern, ing their roles and responsi­ bilities as student leaders in relation to the coaches, the athletes, the faculty and the stu­ dent body of their schools. The class sessions will include such subjects as pep assemblies, pep promotion, teaching songs and yells, game rules, working with band direct tors, group processes, uni­ forms and appearance, sports­ manship, problem solving, and running an effective meeting. In addition to the formal lec­ tures and classes, there will be more than 16 hours of spe­ cialized group and individual in­ struction on song and yell rou­ tines and techniques. The professional staff for the Workshop will include faculty from various high schools. In addition, the National Cheer- leading Association will pro­ vide a group of college age stu­ dents who are members of their own college's cheer staff and have been outstanding high school song and yell leaders themselves. imm Wk Mil PhHsMansnn nrofpssnr nf music Bert Christianson, professor of music, directs the Central Summer Band at their annual outdoor concert held July 16, at Ellensburg Memorial Park.

CAMPUS CRIER, Friday, Page 4 . • , Reverend Splett Leaves For USC Practice sessions for the opera "Carmen" are drawing to a close, as opening night nears. The first performance will be on August 5, at 8:30 p.m. in McConnell Auditorium. Repertory Stagings Ready For Opening In a joint effort, Central's Speech, Drama and Music De» partments are producing a mu­ sical, "The Fantasticks," and an opera, "Carmen," in reper­ tory. "The Fantasticks" is design­ ed to delight the whole family. In the first act, the young lov­ ers are purposely kept apart by their fathers who think that pa­ rental disapproval is the surest way to make them fall in love. When the pair fall in love, the fathers plan the end of their supposed feud by having an Trustees Abolis h Prohibition As a result of a recent dec­ ision by title Board of Trust­ ees Central students can possess and consume alcoholic beverages on campus. At the last board meeting Tim Wing, SGA president presented a proposal to the board which would allow the use of alcohol­ ic beverages 4'within theframe- work provided by the Honor Code..." in compliance with all existing state and federal laws. The proposal had previously been approved by the Presid­ ent's Council. With acceptance of the pro­ posal the board did ask for clarification of the new policy to be printed in the new stud­ ent handbook, specifying appli­ cable state laws and how they affect this situation. Wing said that he . and the chairman oi the Union Board are undertaking a feasibility study on the placement of a tavern in the SUB. "We plan to spend a good deal of time to find out whether or not it would be a financially and socially sound idea,'' Wing said. Wing said he hopes to reach some kind of decision by early in the Fall Quarter. attempted rape which will be heroically foiled by the boy. The lovers are united at the end of the first act. In Act II, we find that the ro­ mance is short-lived in daylight. The boy runs off determined to see the world and the girls plans to elope with the bandit who then betrays her. After both have been hurt, they rediscov­ er each other and are then re­ united. Two popular and well-known songs from this long-running musical are "Try to Remem­ ber" and "Soon it's Gonna Rain." The Fantasticks will be playing on August 4,6 and 8. "Carmen" the opera, is quite a contrast—it is more com­ plicated in plot, production and in type of love. Carmen is a gypsy girl whom all the sol­ diers of the guard find attrac­ tive except Corporal Don Jose who already has a sweetheart, Micaela. Carmen finds this intriging, and when she is arrested for knifing a girl in the cigarette factory she pursuades Don Jose to free her. He is sent to jail for several weeks. When he is freed he rushes to find carmen. He fights her new admirer, the toreador Es camillo and then has no choice but to remain with the smug­ gling gang, a deserter, an out­ law and Carmen's lover. The.opera will be perform­ ed in English to facilitate un­ derstanding. All under six­ teen must be accompanied by parents to "Carmen" which will be playing on August 5, 7 and 9. t The shows will have an 8:30 p.m. curtain in McConnel Aud­ itorium. Admission is free with SGA cards. Otherwise, tickets are $1.50 for adults and 75c for students. The productions are the cul­ minating project of the Summer Workshop in the Musical and Opera, conducted by Richard E. Leinaweaver and John De- Merchant. Hie Reverend Gilbert Splett, Lutheran campus pastor at Cen­ tral and lecturer in the de­ partment of speech, will leave the campus in September to be­ come the Lutheran Campus Pastor at the University of Southern California in Los An­ geles. Rev. Splett said he de­ cided to take the new pos­ ition because it is an opport­ unity for growth in his work as campus pastor.

"I realize that students feel the pressure of price increases more than anyone else. With students, the costs go up, but their in­ come doesn't," Cleveland said. "It seems to me that the Food Service is often mis­ understood. people feel that they cannot express their con­ cerns," Cleveland said. "This isn't so. I welcome sugges­ tions. I want the Food Ser­ vice to be beneficial to the most number of students," Cleveland said. Cleveland's office is locat­ ed behind the kitchen of the Snack Bar. him a chance to work with a larger student body. He said that he hopes that the position of Lutheran Campus Pastor will be continued at Central be­ cause he thinks the three cam- pus-associated ministers have been able to work effectively within the provisions of the Washington State Constitution. Gil Splett Lutheran Campus Minister Rev. Splett moved to Ellens, burg in 1965. He was the first Lutheran Campus minister at Central after the creation of the National Lutheran Campus Ministry which has its head­ quarters in Chicago. Rev. Spl­ ett was brought to Central largely through the efforts of Dr. Jon Ericson, chairman of the speech and drama depart­ ment. Rev. Splett's present pos­ ition calls for him to be the pastor of students and faculty at Central. Specifically, his duties include worship, study, service, fellowship and pastor­ al care. He said that he was lucky to have a large church in the community to preach in. "2,000 Years Young" was the title of Rev. Splett's column in the Campus Crier. This col-. umn was one of the means by which many students were con­ tacted and communicated with. Rev. Splett did not proselyte, but his column helped to make students aware of his presence. Rev. Splett worked with the Ecumenical Campus Ministry at Central and was partly respon. sible for the fall Symposium on sex in 1968. Much cf his work involved counseling that dealt with everything from moral and religious problems to drugs and difficulties in get­ ting along with roommates. Rev. Splett made it clear that when a student talks with a minister it is privileged information and will not be disclosed. He said that he has had lots of coop­ eration with the administration and has never been under pres­ sure to divulge information. SGA Forms Committees The Student Government As­ sociation is in the process of forming their half of two com­ mittees to work on Centril's symposiums. The committees, will consist of both students and faculty. The fir st committee will be responsible for planning and putting on the 1969 Spring Symposium. The second will undertake a full evaluation of symposiums in general. First steps toward the for­ mation of . the committees began last spring. Hie faculty sent out a request for all interest­ ed members to sign up, with the intention of forming their half of the committees from the list of volunteers. The Faculty Sen­ ate did not have time to for­ mally act before the end of Sp­ ring Quarter. SGA president, Tim Wing, ap­ pointed Frank Morris to organ­ ize a working committee of fac­ ulty (to be approved by the Sen­ ate in the fall) and students. All faculty personnel are being taken from the list of interested members put out by the Senate last spring, so that no group is being compiled from volunteers who will be on cam­ pus from Fall until Spring Quar­ ter next year. Only the. nucleus of thecomm* ittees win be functioning this summer, due to the lack of both regular students and faculty on campus. Construction on the Language, Literature and Philosophy Building has reached the founda­ tion stages. The new building, scheduled for completion by the fall of 1970, will replace old or temporary buildings on campus presently used by the departments.
