Ile argued that the Newman Club sponsors events which are of interest mainly to Catholic students and, therefore, should be free to maintain its own treasury as accumulated from Membership dues and donations. Since it would be unfair to ask the SGA to finance Many of the club's activities, So it would be equally un-fair if the Newman Club funds had to revert to the SGA's books, O'Neil further contested. As an example, he cited the $100,000 acquired by the organi-atien for a Newman Center. 4f the money is not used up for censtruction within the year it Would technically have to re- 'vert to the SGA treasury.

Joy Kreller moved to table the motion but was defeated. Richard Moss proposed to amend the Friendenberg's mot-ion by stipulating that detailed accounts of all outside trea-suries be turned in so that the budget committee may have an idea of how much to allocate the organization during the budget requests. The amendment lacked one majority vote and was defeated. Senatcr Mike Gorden then de-fended the main motion by stat-ing that all clubs need outside treasuries for their own closed activities. Assistant SGA treasurer Maureen Kelly pointed out that the purpose of having one main. treasury was to keep track of the clubs' monies.

President, Rod Renner, is highly optimistic that the year will provide a good opportunity for the freshman class to set a precedent in social and aca-demic affairs in accordance with the new role of Towson being a liberal arts college. Renner, who is enrolled in the Teachers College, feels that the other officers are very competant and will be able to ensure a successful year. He is enthused that the Jam Session, held last Friday under the leadership of the new administration, proved to be a success. The president also hopes that attendance at class meetings will improve since the class now has its own officers. Also newly elected are: Jack Wilson, vice-president; Dick Holdcraft, treasurer; Vicki Brandy, recording secretary. Jack Wilson, from the Mead-ville area, is enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. Dick Holdcraft and Vicki Brandy are both in the Teachers College. Sci, Dept. Hunts rMajors All students following one of the programs offered by the science department should register with the department (521-II) if they have not al-ready done so. Freshmen and students uncertain of a major field in science should also register. Other officers are: Donna Cole, corresponding secretary; Susan Bradford, SGA senator; Marie Shockley, parliamentar-ian; Jim Rausch, publicity chairman; Tammy Stephenson, social chairman for day-hops; Diane Stephens, social chair-man for dorm students; Joan Edelmann, day-hop student center board representative; and Cheryl Bowen, dorm stu-dent center board representa tive. The election committee is dissappointed in the number of freshman voting because only 286 freshmen turned out in support of their first important class function. Now that the class is fully organized, it is hoped that freshmen will actively partici-pate in further class functions.

The Board had been re-fused an allotment of money for the semester by the SGA because it did not have a written Constitution. A document was drawn up and presented to the Senators for approval but SGA vice-president Ken Masters pointed out that no clear definition of the organization's purpose was stated in the document and the motion was defeated. The Board retaliated by cancelling the Jam Session planned for last Friday night and refusing to hold any other activities until the SGA recognizes their Con-stitution and gives them a workable budget. Among the functions which are suspended are Ccffee-Recep-tions, Gigifs, and Jam Sessions. The recreational activities which are cancelled are ping-pong, chess, cards, and the use of the stereo. "
