W.S.G.A. Heralds
Year With (haage
By Claudia Young
After much protest and debate, the Woman’s Student
Government Association has made some very definite altera
tions of its rules and regulations.
The Woman's Student Govern
ment Association is the govern
ing body of Mercer’s co-eds. The
main purpose for this organi
zation is to ensure harmony while
living in the dormitory. Until re
cently, many of the rules and reg
ulations were burdensome to foe
■tudents, and revision became ap
parent Last spring quarter foe
WSGA and Dean Glenn carefully
studied foe handbook and came to
this understanding; they felt that
college women should be mature
enough to make their own decis
ions concerning dating and study
ing behavior. So, in this light, the
WSGA revised the handbook con
taining its rules and regulations.
The newest and probably the
most popular of ail the changes in
the handbook, were the closing hour
revisions. The new closing hours for
the Freshman Dorm are: Monday-
Thursday 10:30 PM. Friday and
Saturday 12:00, and Sunday 11:00
PM. For Sophomores and Juniors
the closing hours are: Monday-
Thuraday 11:00 PM. Friday and
Saturday 12:30 AM, and Sunday
11:00 PM. Seniors have the same
hours as the Sophomores and Jun
iors—but are given 1:00 permission
Friday night
A new policy for granting per
missions on the week-ends was sent
to foe upper-classmen this sum
mer. Freshman must still secure
written permission from home every
weekend they wish to leave cam
pus. But, for the Sophomore, Jun
ior, and Senior girls, a new option
of obtaining a standing permission
is available. This permission en
ables a girl to leave campus with
out securing an individual permis
sion each week-end. Again the
WSGA felt that a college girl, with
her family’s permission, should

Chosen Pres;
Two Runoffs
By Chris Greks
The race for freshman offices
ended Tuesday with the final run
off for president. The campaign
was tedious and well fought, and
unexpectedly extended one day due
to a tie in the runoff for president.
The winners were Scott Maclay
from Melbourne, Florida, Presi
dent; George Leske, from St Pe
tersburg. Florida, Vice President;
Susan Green, from Jacksonville,
Florida, Secretary; and Linn Dil
lard, from Atlanta, Treasurer.
Susan Green, still elated at her
election said Tuesday night; "My
election was an honor and I know
it could never have been done with
out all the terrific support I re
ceived. I shall work with my fellow
officers for the freshman class to
the best of my ability." Susan
proved victorious over four other
candidates for the Secretary’s post,
with a final win over Nancy West-
wood in the runoffs Monday after
noon.
The candidates all were appre
ciative of their supporters, especial
ly to their fritwk who put so much
time in the posters and stickers
seen all over campus. East German
born George Leske expressed his
thanks to his campaigners, "espec
ially S. L. Murphy.” Linn Dillard
gives her "sincere thanks to all
those who supported me.” She goes
on to say: “We have a class with
great potential and if we work to
gether this year we can begin a tra
dition of not only making the class
of *71 outstanding, but also of at
tributing much to Mercer.” Linn
came out the winer in a very tough
run for Treasurer, and a runoff
with Larry Finkelstein. George
Leake’s final comment on the elec
tion was: “The only promise I
SCOTT MACLAY
make is to never disappoint ths peo
ple who thought enough of me to
elect me." Leske survived a very
dose race for the Vice President's
office by beating John Luther.
The outcome for President was
perhaps foe most interesting. This
year the list of candidates reached
the number of eight, of which three
ran off. The tradition of running
off foe leading two had to bo brok
en this year because of a tie be-
