'V* Plans Eor Coming By CHUCK BUGG President, S.G.A. Now that summer is nearly Upon us and another year almost completed, our thoughts naturally turn not only to what is ahead but also to what is behind as we attempt to evaluate what-this past year .has meant to us in both an individual and collective sense. Collectively, we have seen much done for us this year as the Student Government has proven itself to be a very capable and effective servant of student opinion, and student desire. This great growth in stature and function naturally places an even larger weight of responsibility upon the shoulders of next pear's Student Government leaders, and it is with full awareness of this tremendous responsibility that I will assume this office of President for the coming year. I am very appreciative of this honor which has been given me, and I pledge that I will try to conduct myself in such a way that you can be proud of me as your representative. ENTHUSIASM The enthusiasm which I previously had for our work next year in the Student Government Was greatly increased as a result of the election, and as I saw whom you had chosen to- serve in the Senate and in the various • offices for the coming year. I felt pleased that so many qualified people had chosen to run for the Senate and for the general offices, and I Ipow that the enthusiasm and ■ willingness to serve evidenced by all the candidates for the. different-positions will inspire those who were elected to even greater service. I have already talked with many of the senators for next year, and I believe that we truly have both a capable and representative group. I am sure that these people will be both aware of and responsive to the needs of our Student Body, and I look for a Student Government next year that will have a close contact with all of the students and of which everyone will feel a part. I want us all to work to- and policies that will be beneficial for us and that will serve to improve the position ob both the Student, Government itself and the students as a whole. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE 1 want to see such things as the establishment of a Student Government employment service so that the Student Government can serve those who are seeking off-campus employment; I intend to investigate and to talk to administrative, officials concerning a number of dormitory improvements feeling that here the Student Government can meet a definite need. I also want a continued investigation into the present academic' policies of the university to see whether such things as the elimi; nation of Saturday classes and the implementing of the "Quarter"., system are both feasible and desirable. Certainly,' there are a great number of other things which'I hope to do and which I have A Band Holds Final Concert The Concert Band presented its final concert of the year on Tuesday, April 21. As in recent years,. the final concert featured student conductors who are junior and senior music majors in the Stetson School of Music. Juniors who conducted on Tuesday night's program were Samuel Allen, Valdosta, Ga; Elizabeth Deal, Ft. Lauderdale; William Hartman, Winter Haven; William Jokela, Panama City, and Gene Tunnell, Homestead. Seniors chosen to conduct were William Bradshaw, Decatur, Ga. and Katherine'Menefee, Lenoir, N.C. Students chose numbers Which they conducted in consultation' with Richard Feasel, conductor of the university band, and each student has been responsible for the preparation and rehearsal of the number chosen. The varied program well contained works by Gossec, Purcell, Hoist,. Robert Ward, Vincent Persichetti,. Petel- Mennin and Leonard Bernstein. The Stetson concert is open to tlie pliblic1 without charge, fi" *,'' '->'.%**"**>•(''X - -"•>•-' V ':y'.•'-,,,x.xy-xM..'■'''' .5 ■- *:; '.f*■'.■•;',('" • xx"M '■■ ■' '.;'"•• \57:• '&&&-■ jf&*,r ■ CHUCK BUGG already told you about in my platform, but these few goals can serve to point out .the direction in which, I believe, the Student Government should go. The philosophy which I have adopted toward our Student Government is that the more responsible it proves itself to be, the more influence it will have and the more authority it will be given. I want this responsible type of government—I want us to have more authority in certain areas, and if there is one general objective of my term in office, it is to achieve these things. . The other general officers: Bruce Haulman, Wayne Coulter, Barbara Fagan—are all people whom I know personally and with whom I look forward to working. They, too, are mindful of the responsibility which the Student Government has and look forward to sharing in this responsibility next year. YEAR OF PROGRESS I feel that next year we are really going to have a year of progress and achievement—not because I am President or because any particular person has been elected to any certain office, but because all of us will come more and more to realize what can be accomplished for us through an effective Student Government. Student Group To Perform At Coffeehouse Saturday night at 8:30 a group of Stetson students will read selections from Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology and Archibald MacLeish's Frescoes For Mr. Rockefeller's Center at Daytona Beach's Symposiac coffeehouse. They will also sing some original songs and some folk songs between the poems. Performers are Rocki Campbell, Lany Clarke, Susan Foster, Chris Hedrick, Sharon Nicoletto and Tom Parrott. Jack McCarty, Susan Foster, and Tom Parrott are the vocalists. Students are just beginning to frequent the Symposiac as well as participate in its programs. Daytona Beach newspaperman, Ray LaPrise, created the club when he discovered that there are still some people around who demand programs unusual, offbeat, controversial, and challenging. Ray naturally looks to a nearby college for such commodities and welcomes all Stetson students' to use the facilities ■ of,the coffehouse or stage. He says the Symposiac "needs fresh ideas constantly." Ray hopes soon to be on campus for interviews with faculty members for future programs. Last Saturday night Arthur White,- Gail Brockett, and Jay Nunley presented Maid to Marry by lonesco, theater-of-the-absurd dramatist. Some time in May they will be doing The Bald' Soprano. Wesley .

NOTICE Beginning' with the summer session, the library wishes to stay open until 11 p.m. each evening that it now normally stays open until 10. Two senior men or graduate students are needed to staff the library during the extra hours. If interested, see Mr. Mowery, Head Librarian, for details. ;7Edmunds>7 Proclaims ? Dr? J. Ollie Edmunds, Presi-. dent of Stetson University has proclaimed May 7 a class-free holiday. This' day, which has been dubbed "Operation Book- Lift Day" will be devoted to moving the books from Sampson Library to the new library. The entire student body is expected to pitch in and help. Each student will be assigned a time when he will come to the new library and form a human conveyor belt. Each student will carry approximately 60 books in one hour, after which his time is his to do with as he pleases. There will be a "coffee break" in the morning and a "coke- break" in the afternoon. The cafeteria will be closed for lunch, but that meal' will be served by tlie cafeteria staff in the Forest,of Arden. As plans have it now, the library will be closed from May 7 through May 10. However, if the students do not participate in this important project, the library will remained closed until the move is completed. As the move is planned, there will be no waiting in line and no student will have to work more than one hour. There are 65,000 volumes to be moved, and if the participation is strong and efficient, the entire moving time will be about 6 hours. The success of this adventure depends upon the participation of the student body and their willingness to share their load in seeing the project through. If the students hold back, it will only mean that the library will be closed for an extended time during the valuable days before exams and term papers. Let's turn out and get an important job done! ! ! $2,700 Grant To Student Stetson Universtiy senior Claudine Walker of Lythia Springs, Ga., has received an assistantship worth $2,700 from the University of Florida.
