Senator Venee
DeSoto Special Events
Committee Chairman
reported to the elected
body that her committee's
ongoing study of student
retention problems has
recently included an infor-
mal poll of students.
Basing their efforts on
this poll Miss DeSoto's
group is promoting ac-
tivities to deal with the lack
of student morale and
"togetherness."
"The lack of love bet-
ween the students and the
athletes is improving" she
said. "We are still in the
planning stage for our Thee
Spirit campaign."

group the Miss DeSoto's
committee is still working
on a proposed solution to
the speeding problems on
Center and Fisk avenues.
Miss DeSoto added that
the group has found that
financial aid and student
retention are closely
related also. "Continuing
financial aid for all four
years in college is impor-
tant; many upperclassmen
have their scholarships
cut."
"Numerous seniors I've
spoken with are really im-
bittered about the financial
aid situation" Mrs. Hord
reported. "Future alumni
support will be hurt by this
situation."
Miss DeSoto moved that

mittee chaired by SA

finals.

later that Naomi "is depen-
dable hard working and
enthusiastic. She'll be able
to motivate people to give
to this worthy cause."

"We're looking forward
to a great time with as
many prospective students
as possible" said Lorri

weekend for students to see
what campus life is all
about."
Last fall 98 prospective
students and 47 parents and
sponsors attended Stinger

number was approximate-

The cost of Stinger Daze

Mrs. Hord explained that
the new powers are a
return to the past.
"It would be more fair if
students approved these
changes" Glenn said.
Miss Dreer said her
"main concern is that resi-
dent students be informed
of the powers given to dorm
councils."
Mrs. Hord said Dr.
Butler is going to speak to
the senate soon to explain
the changes.
Glenn moved to refer the
issue to the Constitution
and Bylaws Committee to
"see whether changes in
dorm council constitutions
have occurred and if the
changes are
constitutional."
