Senate Reconsiders Condemnation And Censuring Of Trustees Over Gregory By RICHARD CARR The senate convened three times on March 7 due to several lacks of quorums, and the following senators were absent" during all three meetings: Hobbs, Mahaffey, Colyer and' Perny. Welch fudges Senate-s Feeling During the President's report; Senator Finley asked Welch if Resolution 68-10, which condemns the Trustees and was passed by the Senate on February 22, had been sent to the Board of Trustees. Welch said that it hadn't been sent and the reason why he didn't send it was because he felt the resolution did not represent the true feeling of the senate. Senator Baughman rose to clarify a legal question by pointing out that Welch doesn't have the authority to do what he did. Baughman emphasized that in the SG the majority rules, and that one might, consider President Welch's action to be malfeasance and possibly subject for impeachment. B a u g fa- man strongly said that his remarks were not of animosity, but several senators, particularly Morgan and Gaventa rose to agree with Welch. Gaventa said that he felt the resolution should be of a more constructive nature rather than one censuring and condeming just to get rid of our emotions. Under Old business. the senate voted 18-2 to have another election for CA 68-1, since when it was voted on the first time, the ballot was incorrectly, word- .- .ed. ■'.,-. ... . ~ Under New Business Senator Shuttleworth moved to reconsider the aforementioned Resolution 68-10, which originally condemned the Trustees for banning Dick Gregory from campus. No sooner said than done, Senator Lennon left to catch up on some studying. Shoemaker followed in pursuit. Finley tore after Shoemaker to tell Lennon to keep on gor ing. Whammo! -No quorum. Meeting adjourned at 10:10. Praises Partisanship Animosity among the senators. After much senator-searching on the parts of those senators favoring reconsideration, a quorum was. established. Senator DeMiranda was pulled off stage at Stover and entered the meeting gayly dressed in a Roman toga. The meeting reconvened at 10:35 with Shuttleworth still trying to move to reconsider the resolution condemning the Trustees. (Continued on Page 2) Kirk Visits Volusia Governor Claude Kirk's /'meeting the people" trips brought him to Volusia County last week. He was met at the DeLand airport by a cheering crowd and spent a short time shaking hands on the Boulevard before moving on to Daytona. The afternoon -and evening in Daytona was filled with a press conference, more pumping hands on the streets, a fish fry, and a banquet sponsored by the All Volusia Republicans Club at the Daytona Plaza. The banquet was attended by about 300 Republicans from all of the communities in Volusia County. Kirk challenged the group not to fall prey to the ' "consenocrat" and to remain intensly partisans and involved .in the society. LBJ BEATABLE Commenting on the New Hampshire Primary, Kirk praised Eugene McCarthy for having the courage to be . a partisan and prove that "the Preident is not only beatable, he is totally defeatable." ►BOBBY SAD He said that the two saddest men in the country the day after the primary were LBJ, for running, and Bobby Kennedy, for not running. Kirk cited the "tyranny of the majority" that can exist if the standing myths are not challenged. "Thank. God for the people in New Hampshire, thank God for our system that gives them the right to give us the word in advance." he said Commenting on President Johnson, the Governor said, "I am against the President of ,the United States but I respect him because he is a partisan. .One Hundred per cent wrong, 'but one hundred per cent partisan. REPUBLICAN JET "Anyone who won't be a partisan, anyone who won't take a stand, doesn't deserve our ' way of life," concluded Kirk. He left immediately for Washington on his lear Jet, which he pointed out is paid for by the Republican Party, to discuss federal projects in Florida. Geren Gives OK To Start Pool President Paul Geren announced Monday that the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has approved the beginning of construction of the long-awaited swimming pool. Construction will begin in early April and will take 70 working days to complete. Geren said. Geren stated that the site for the pool would be the present location of the general lot beside the Band Hall. It was previously thought that the pool would be adjacent to the gym on a closed portion of May Street directly behind Conrad Hall. Geren said that additional parking would be provided by expanding the lot behind the library. The pool will be in an L- shape to accommodate either NCAA or AAU requirements. One side will be 50 years long and the other 50 meters. Architects for the project are Kemp, Bunch and Jackson of Jackson-* ville. The request for bids, had been sent and so far three contractors have requested plans in order to make bids. The Student Government has pledged $1,000 for the cause. The activities that the SG had planned to raise the money have been cancelled, however, and the pledge will come out of the concert account, it was reported in a recent senate.minutes. The Stetson Union Board, will however, hold a dance in the coming weeks to raise money for the long-awaited Hatter hole. The university has $30,000 on hand at present out of a total of $84,000 needed for the project. The President said that he hoped more funds would be raised as the pool is constructed, but that if the needed money was not raised it would be borrowed from the general building fund. Governor Doyle Carleton, Chairman of the Board of Trustees gave a $10,000 challenge matching gift for the pool, Geren said. Concerning the proposed Music School, Geren said that the plans for that building would be completed by the end of March but that he was "pesamistic" about the prospects for the necessary Federal loan for the building to be cleared in light of President Johnson's recent announcement that he was going to institute budget cuts to get a tax increase from the Congress. Collins To Visit Monday Former Governor LeRoy Collins, a candidate for the United States Senate, will visit Stetson on Monday, March 25. Dave . Finley, Campus Coordinator for Governor Collins said that all students are invited .to meet Governor Collins and ask him questions at this time. "Students are also invited to join our Collegians for Collins organization on the campus by contacting me at any time," said Finley. "We all feel that youth should become informed on .the issues of the campaign and have an opportunity to find out what a political campaign, is like," Finley said. "Governor. Collins has shown his interest in. students for some time now through many ways," he continued. "Many students aren't aware of t h e fact that he is the father of the junior college system in Florida and of his many contributions to youth." 1= WEEKLY CALENDAR FRIDAY ^ SUB Movie, "King Rat" :30, Stetson Room.
