DEAN STALLINGS
Student Council Proposes
Changes for Government
The Student Council is considering five proposals to streamline the efficiency of stu
dent government at the University, announced council President Dick Lea this week.
Dean To Leave Office
After 15 Year Tenure
By JIM WINTON
Red ami Black Staff Re|»ortcT
Mrs. Edith Stallings, Dean of Women at the University
for fifteen years, is retiring. She steps down from her posi
tion Aug. 1.
terminated her Navy duty and
joined the staff here at the
University. When she assumed
the duties of dean of women
the University co-eds number
ed 1.8 20. The female enroll
ment today is 3,412.
Mrs. Stallings plans to live
in Athens following her re
tirement "doing whatever I can
for my foster alma mater.”
She is a native of Ohio and a
graduate of the University of
Now Hampshire. She also holds
a graduate certificate In
dietetics from Johns Hopkins
University.
The following proposals will
be drafted into constitutional
amendments or by-laws:
(1) Creation of an execu
tive branch of student govern
ment with a student body
president who is elected In a
campus - wide election. This
president would have expanded
powers. He would be served
by an appointed cabinet of
ministers who will represent
student Interests in various
areas of campus life. There
will be a minister of athletics,
minister of student activities,
minister of traffic and as many
others as the president deems
necessary.
The current class presidents
would retain their positions
with expanded powers, includ
ing a vote in the Student Coun
cil.
(2) A Student Council board
of regulation would be cre
ated to supervise student fund
raising campaigns, which are
currently against Bchool regu
lations. The council feels that
some of these funds serve a
worthy cause and should be
allowed to exist within the
bounds of council regulation.
(3) Create the position of
Student Council treasurer. The
council finds this important for
three reasons. First, the coun
cil handles money and an of
ficer is needed to keep the
books. Second, it would create
another major position for
competent students to serve.

partment to have River Road surveyed to determine the
cost of its improvement.
Hugh McCoy, the Highway
Department’s resident engineer
in Athens, is to survey the
road and make an estimate of
the expenses needed. This sur
vey should take about a month.

submitted to the State Highway
Board which will decide the
amount of funds to be alloted
for the project.
William E. Hudson, director
development, said, "If
everything goes all right, the
work could be finished by next
September.”
He added, "The major con
siderations in the work are the
realignment of the road to
eliminate the dangerous curves, !
the removal of foliage on all I
curves which prevents one I
from seeing oncoming traffic,
the raising of the elevation and
the widening of the road, and * 1

dent says, “It is impossible to
keep an automobile in safe
driving condition when you
have to drive over that road
every day. Pot holes tear up
your shock absorbers and
tires.”
Third, It would spread the ad
ministrative work around, tak
ing some of the load off the
other council officers.
(4) Each of the two major
political parties on campus
must have at least one repre
sentative as an officer of the
student council.
(5) The Student Council
would publish a quarterly re
port of its activities to fa
miliarize the student body with
