Will The Be Unbi BY EILEEN BERLIN (Berlin is the SGA Secretary for Student Welfare.) Now that the semester is coming to a close there are several proposals I would like to discuss for future consideration. I'm sure we all agree that dorm living is perhaps the best preparation for the "real world." After all, where else can you leave one set of parents and be supplied, free of charge, with another set? But our surrogate parents fail us after we move off campus. I would like to suggest that every student who takes that bold step, and hopefully more will , be issued their very own engraved open house sign-in book, subject to review monthly by the divison of student affairs. This will insure that we can carry on the fine tradition begun for us by the university and hopefully it will help keep us wayward children out of trouble. After all, we do know what really goes on in a dorm room after 11:30 on weeknights and after 2 a.m. on weekends. We NEED that protection. Another suggestion I would like to make is to give the construction workers at Bates West a senate seat. It is obvious they're going to be there a lot longer than the students will be and they should have a voice in university policy. We all know that their voice will be heard just as loudly as the students', so why not let them get the inside view of who they are working for. It certainly can't do any harm. :1 W 1 FUW TRIP COLIUN TJuesdag J BOILER ROOM sur Famous; Boder R com Steak Covered W' Fren.-h Fried Be'veragqe :,? ? p.er p)erset: 1 Circle oken? EHeen Berlin My final suggestion is one which I feel would improve. the total atmosphere on this campus. It's a simple idea. It may be a little costly but maybe if we all wear football jerseys we can get it through. The proposal is for a ski lift to be built. It would begin at the Harold Brunton Memorial Bridge and run above the entire campus. We could easily go from class to class aboard the lift. And from a higher distance all of the concrete on this campus would look like snow. We could close our eyes and pretend we were in the mountains I'm sure it would be as aesthetically pleasing as the cranes, tractors and dirt piles we encounter daily. But regardless of whether these proposals are taken seriously or not, I have only one real concern for this university. Will the circle be unbroken?

I However, Vice President for Student Affairs Charles Witten, under heavy pressure from the SGA, reconsidered his disapproval t of the bill. According to Witten, he re-studied the proposal and found other schools had . successfully carried out similar plans. In a letter to President Jones dated February 18, Witten said, "I am, therefore, reconsidering my disapproval of the bill and recommend that bicycles be e permitted to be kept in the y residence hall room subject to the e conditions which are listed on the r attached sheet." e The proposal then began rolling t again until it received final e passage Wednesday. e ce weekly on Monday and on Tur mesters and once a week during ljie ilversity holidays and exam periods. bscription requests and other mail k, Drawer A, USC, Columbia, S.C., r semester and $2 for the summer. from the student activity fund for k are rooms 317, 318 and 319 in the campus, 1400 Green St. Telephones and 777-3888, advertising.
