Fall The tcimpu ' ' is bus tonight; there are organizational meetings in Elliott Hall. The cynicism of later in the year has not yet set in, and people are still willing to be cajoled into joining one of the many activities. They are returning from dinner now, stomachs trying to adjust to ARA and its myriad delicacies. The leaves are still green on the trees, hilt It IS the tired green of late summer when hot weather seems hadiv inappropriate. People are playing frisbee in the Quad prior to settling down to study. Later tonight there will be a water fight and the freshman girls will allow the guvs from Hinshaw to massacre them. The battle lines will change Mneral times betore wearv housemothers call a halt. There is still an air ot newness, of excitement, it it can be (ailed that. EspecialK ' is this true for the freshmen, but it also spills into those laded upperclassmen who count the semesters remaining.

SGA: A rough year for representative democracy This year began when Hlnshaw dorm seceeded from the Student Government Association, led by its dorm coordinator Jim McAbee. The student senate became the focal point for the SGA as the year ' s debate covered such topics as salaries for SGA and organizational officials, By-laws and Constitutional changes, and election policy. There was the usual jockeying for position among some of the senators, and there was an aborted attempt to abolish the student literary magazine. Some students were heard to wonder aloud just what did go on in the senate; for the most part, SGA affects the lives of few students, and so is usually ignored. Unless, of course, you ' re involved in it.
