Student Government Lacks Quorum The regular meeting of the SGA was impaired from carrying on its ! official business because of the lack of a quorum. Although only three members were officially ab sent. a continuous trickle of 17 people wandered out of the nutt ing, leaving the SGA jxmerless. Monday night’s meeting had more guests than any other mt*et- i ing this year This indicates the growing interest and participation which is sorely needed to keep the SGA stimulated. This is a goal I that President Ed Bacon has been i working for all year The delegates that SGA sent to • Si’SKA came home proud of the | fact that we had taken the load in the convention. Most of the schools felt that Mercer was far alie; d o r the average school in student in volvement and were impressed by our Student Advisory Committee. Wonderful .Wednesday and the fact that President Harris was so willing to take time out to talk to students. Mercer was s<> f;fr ahead of most of them that we were al most labeled radical Are you be lieving that? Because of the dist ussion * au^ed by computerized registration by both the faculty and students, a committee was set up to establish a computer evaluation Members are Steve Carreker. chairman; Carol Strange; Mary McGaughev ; and Steve Richey. Since many students cannot •Judy either in the dorm or in the library, a room will lx* o|>en from I 5 to 12 in Knight Hall.
