HUGHES TL Managing Editor ""Cut All-College Day and the name band for the Sweetheart Dance and substitute a singing group,"" the SGA social commit-tee proposed this week. The committee, headed by SGA Social Chairman Sue Park-hurst, would like to change the social policy of the Student Gov-ernment, Miss Parkhurst ex-plained. ""We feel a change is need-ed from the standard pro-cedures of past years,"" she commented. The three part proposal rec-ommends eliminating the name band usually contracted for the Sweetheart Dance and replacing it with a local band, Miss Park-hurst began. Secondly, All-College Day would be cancelled, she con-tinued. In place of these two facets of the college social life there would be a singing concert of some kind with a popular sing-ing group such as Peter, Paul and Mary or The Brothers Four, she said. ""When you contract a name band all you pay � for is the name,"" she explained. ""And then all you get are supplements of the national band and not the name itself."" ""There are local bands just as good,"" she continued, ""and the dance would still be held in the Armory."" ""As for All-College Day, by the calendar it is scheduled two days before exam week begins,"" she emphasized. ""Who wants to give up a whole day just before exams?"" Besides this reason, there is SGA Senate Vetoes SCB Suggestion To Invite Folk Singing Trio To Campus The Student Centre Board was refused permission Tuesday by the Senate to go ahead with plans that would possibly bring a popular folk singing trio to the campus next spring. Speaking for the Student Centre Board, Judy Brainard asked permission, explaining that the board had contacted the agent for Peter, Paul and Mary and gotten a cost estimate of $2500 for the concert, which would be sponsored during World University Service Week in March. With the SGA providing the cost of the group to the Student Centre Board, all profits derived from the trio's appearance would be turned over to WUS, Miss Brainard said. She told the Senate that the Student Centre Board was talk-ing about charging an admission to see the group - that money , forming the profit from the ap-pearance. Miss Brainard's motion asked SGA sanction of the plan, so the board could continue negotia-tions. At this in the debate SGA Social Chairman Sue Parkhurst interjected that the SGA has also thought about asking the same group here - and has also contacted the agent in New York. Sue MacDonald asked Miss Parkhurst when the SGA had thought about having the group. ""This started last year,"" Miss Parkhurst said. Miss MacDonald put the same question to Miss Brainard. ""Begging your pardon, but we suggested, in a moment of iriocy this summer to Mr. Highsmith (Bob Highsmith, SGA president), that we would like to do this. ""He said then that he thought it was a wonderful idea, and told us to go ahead with plans."" After more debate, the ques-tion was called and the request was turned down by voice vote. also the problem of the size of the college, Miss Parkhurst said. It is impossible to plan any-thing this big, she complained. ""We must stay within the Baltimore area because of the prohibitive cost of trans-portation and yet here we have the segregation pro-blem,"" she said. ""We don't want to take any-thing away from the students,"" she asserted, ""but the school is growing and we must progress with it."" ""We want to initiate a big social event of the kind that is typical of big colleges,"" she ex-plained. ""I would like to know what the students think about this proposal,"" Miss Parkhurst said. Miss Parkhurst asked that any student with a definite opinion on This subject or a remedy 'for the All-College Day problem send a note to Box 652 or put suggestions in the slot in the SGA office door. do not feel I can bring this before the Senate or start to work on it before I know how the students feel,"" she con-cluded.
