Faculty representatives
appointed by SGA Senate
The SGA in its regular
meeting Monday, October II
selected four student
representatives to the faculty.
The representatives are: Dale'
Wkckatrum, Nadine Sherman,
Jan Suffolk and Frank Abbot.
Harold Logan, vice-president
for development, spoke 6n the
837,500,000 development
program for Mercer which will
be opened by the Centennial
Banqiiet and Ball, November
12. All members of the Mercer
Community are invited to at
tend. The charge is 825 a couple.
A letter from the Director of
Food Service K JC. Krakow and
one from Dr. Haywood ex
pressing approval of the SGA’s
food recommendations and
indicating that they will be
carried out.
Jerita Rollins of the food
committee said a meeting with
Krakow revealed that the
changes will begin to be ■ ef
fective Monday, October 18.
Mrs. Margie Chapman of the
Macon Hospital addressed the
Senate on the possibility of
establishing a blood bank ac
count for Mercer University.
Mrs. Chapman pointed out
that blood is used more and
more often today to insure quick
recovery and that insurance
policies generally do not cover
the cost of blood transfusions.
By setting up an account having
members of the Mercer com
munity give blood regularly the
832 per pint cost of Mood would
be avoided when the need for its
use arose, according to Mrs.
Chapman. ^
The idea was referred to a
committee which is to report at
the next meeting.
The report of the "library
committee discussed a possible
free fine day, opening of some
carrels to students and the pre
exemption of many of the
library’s rooms by EFP and
other groups.
It was mentioned that the
facility lounge was seldom used
by the faculty and that a lounge
for students would be more
useful and more appropriate.
In his talk Logan said, over
81,000,000 has been raised
already and several foundations
have committed themselves to
substantial contributions. He
said, “If you think small, the
results are going to be small:
we’re going for big exposure."
The funding for the new .in
firmary is expected to be
complete before November 12.
Logan said priority will be
given to the funds necessary for
construction of Mercer's
"swimming pool."
He announced Carl Vinson’s
acceptance of the national
chairmanship of the 837.500,000
campaign.
Logan emphasised that this is
s "hard sell" campaign in
volving "Impact, impact, im
pact." He said, "We’re talking
to the businessman in a
language he understands."
According to Logan "this is not
Mickey Mouse It’s the real
thing, it’s going to go."
Mrs. Marian Erbele of the
Development office gave some
details of the Centennial
Banquet-Ball and repeated an
invitation to students to help
with and attend the affair which
will be in the ballroom of the
Macon Hilton.
