Senate Okays 'Eats' Fee The Senate Tuesday granted per-mission to .the classes to charge a fee for refreshments at dances. After considerable discussion, the motion made by Senator Bob Chap-man of the junior class was passed by a majority voice vote. The juniors are sponsoring the Christmas Dance, December 9. Citing ""more money for the , classes"" as his primary reason for ' making the motion, Senator Chap-man also pointed out that the classes would be able to supplement their allotted funds from the SGA. SGA Prexy Chides Senators To 'Wake Up To Potential' In a five minute speech that completely caught the Senate off-balance Tuesday afternoon, SGA President John Tallman chided the body as being ""almost non-func-tional."" 'Silver Bells' Dance Theme Next Week ""Silver Bells"" will ring out as the theme of the Christmas Dance. The dance, sponsored by the Junior Class, will be held on Decem-ber 9, from 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight in Wiedefeld Gymnasium. Tickets are $1 and will go on sale next week in the alcove.

Rules Posted For Yule Work At Post Office Christmas employment absence forms for work with the post office are posted on the bulletin board across from Room 109, Dean Orielle Murphy's office. All students who intend to miss classes because of holiday employ-ment must fill out the information requested on the blanks posted on the board. The Attendance Committee will compile a list of all students who plan to be absent during the week of December 18. ""I would hope the Senate will wake up and live up to its potential,"" Tallman told the visably shaken group. ""So far we haven't done it."" Referring to a lack of activity by the committees to which every Senator is supposed to belong, Tall-man said, ""I am tired, very plainly tired, of fooling around. We have got to get moving. ""We are almost into December and all the SGA can say it has done this year is to take six weeks to pass a budget."" Noting many sessions of the Senate have bogged down into lengthy debates concerning parlia-mentary procedure, the president commented, ""When we get in here to the Senate, we play games like democracy. ""We have many things to be done, but they cannot be done by me, or by any other in-dividual. We must accept re-sponsibility in these committees,"" Tallman stated. ""Collective co-operation is imperative."" Changing his line of attack, Tall-man quipped ""It seems to be a tradition around here that a Sena-tor is low man on the totem pole. ""If you accept this, then we will go nowhere,"" he chided the Sena-tors. ""I think Senators stand on an equal plane with any other officer in this school."" (Continued on Page 4) Any student missing classes does so at his own risk and is respon-sible for all work covered in those classes and all assignments due during that time. Only those students with good attendance records and whose aca-demic standing is acceptable should consider employment, and any student who received a D or F slip should plan to attend classes, said Mrs. Katherine Gordon, secre-tary to Dean Murphy.
