Night Descends Upon Campus
MAN, (hut Coca-Cola is powerful stuff. As coke Bottles lay thrown on the ground, this student decided he’d had enough liquid refreshments, so he’d
spend the night on a campus bench. It looks as though the garbage ran might hr used for a head rest.
THIS IS A DAY in which it must be proper to ignore signs. “Help keep your campus clean,” says the words, hot the campus Wednesday night, after a heavy rain, looked as though it were mocking the sign. This couple appeared oblivious to the Utter.

The Senate passed a motion to appoint a committee to form a Student Development Council during the summer in its final meeting of the year Tuesday.
SBG President Dick Knight said. “A Student Development Council would give student representatives an overall view of what UM is trying to do.”
Knight said that if the students voted to tax themselves on a referendum to be circulated next fall, the money that was collected probably would be administered by the Student Development Council.
“The Council would probably be empowered by the administration to oversee all student fund-raising activities,” he said.
In other Senate business five names were referred to the appointments committee to check on their eligibility to hold SBG positions.
Temporary appointees were Anita Hammond, freshman senator from the College of Arts and Sciences; Judy Weiss, freshman senator from the School of Education; Jerry Zim-minik and John Gregor, secretary and under-secretary of independent affairs, and Joe Eastform, undersecretary of cultural affairs.
In Senate appropriations the Engineering School was voted $150 for a spring banquet, the Hurricane Club was voted $50 and the Latin American Sub-Commission was voted $30.
A bill was passed giving Knight and SBG Treasurer Phil Mandina power to spend monies necessary to operate SBG during the summer.
A motion was passed to suggest to proper authorities necessary steps to improve the quality of indentifi-cation pictures.
