tee - Peggy Orr. chairman -
The purpose of the Cultural
Affairs Program is to offer
the college community stimu
lations over and beyond those
contained in the curriculum
Efforts are made to present
the very best talents available
from the vocal, dance, or
chestral. theatrical and lec
ture fields

which entertainers the stu

concert The winner. Sergio
Mendes. has now been con
tracted for March 6. and
Johnny Rivers also high in

To increase interest in the
Cultural Affairs program, a
representative system was
created tor the dormitories
and sororities The represen
tative is sent information be
fore each concert by the
committee so that they can
interest other students in at
tending Because attendance
has increased, the committee
feels that this system should
be extended to fraternities
and the remaining men's
dormitories next year
The programs are financed
from student fees. $1 per
quarter for each full-time
student. The committee
brought up a motion which
was passed by the cabinet and
senate unanimously to in
crease this fee by an addition
al $1 This would enable the
committee to bring top enter
tainers in all fields to the Un

budget does not allow. The
motion needs approval by the
board of regents before it can
go into effect fall quarter of

School of Forest Resources
• Mitch Flint ham. chairman) -
Indirectly through the Senate, a
student-faculty relations com
mittee has been set up within
the school. It is still in the ini
tial stages, however, but plans
are encouraging
This committee's duties will
be to listen to criticism from
the students for or against the
School of Forest Resources If
validity of these remarks are
substantial, it will be requested
by the committee that a faculty
committee* be set up to hear
these criticisms Also it will be
requested of this committee to
represent the students in dis
cussing with the faculty the
possibilities of changing and
revising the school curriculum
We feel that as the recipients of
the lectures, the students may
also present ideas that will aid
the faculty in making decisions
on certain courses and methods
which are now being consi
dered
Graduate School (Toni Ei-
chhom. chairman) - The grad
uate school delegation has been
working on problems which are
unique to its area as well as
with problems that are com
mon among the whole campus
community
At our last meeting we dis
cussed such topics as keeping
the graduate library in the
Graduate Studies Budding open
longer and on weekends There
also was some discussion as to
checking out materials.
The matter of allowing grad
uate students who are Universi
ty employees to have special
parking stickers, was dis
cussed. but it was decided that
present parking arrangements
are necessary.
Dr Thomas Whitehead, the
delegation’s department head,
answered questions pertaining
to assistantship contracts.
graduate school procedures and
graduate student grading sys
tems
The meeting was very en
lightening and profitable it ‘.as
stimulated and will stimulate
more thoughtfulness toward the
problems of the students of the
graduate school
School of Home Economies
'Donna Ulnci. chairman) - A
letter was sent to all home eco
nomics majors to invite sugges
tions concerning anything per
taining to student government
and the home economics
school The names, addresses
and telephone numbers of the
senators in home economics
were included in the letter
A suggestion box has been
made and is being put up in
Dawson Hall which will be
checked weekly for sugges
tions
A survey was taken consider
ing the idea of having the
lounge in Dawson Hall opened
up as a coffee house for a cou
ple of periods a day Coffee
would be sold at price by the
members of Homecon (a home
economics service club). The
open house* would be for the
purpose of increasing the stu
dent student and student-fami
ly interaction The survey
showed both student and facul
ty to be overwhelmingly in
favor of this idea
However, in talking to Dean
Mary Speirs. it was pointed out
that selling coffee would violate
a contract that the University
has with the vending company.
There is a possibility that this
can be worked out and we are
meeting with J W Broadhurst.
