Trustee m eet: students encouraged Mid-October provided two beau- tiful days for the regular fall meeting of Covenant's Board of Trustees. There seemed to be a new spirit of interest among board members as well as among students-interest in improving the relations between administra tion and students. The trustees' time here was packed full of activity-from committee meet- ings to regular sessions to chat- ting over meals with students and faculty. This year's active Student Senate is partly responsible for the meeting's success. Under the leadership of Linda Goette and Keith Moore, the Senate made two proposals-one concerning the Program Support Fee, and the other regarding folk dancing. The Senate wasn't just prepared to ask, however? the Board, under the new chairmanship of Dr. Richard Chewning, was pre- pared to listen. For over an hour during their first afternoon on campus, the trustees met with students in an open meet- ing, to discuss the new proposals Response from both sides was good. How were the proposals han- dled? The first suggested that the Program Support Fee either be removed and incorporated into the tuition rate, or that a Student Activities Fee be established, to be used solely for the support of student organizations and activities,', under the goverance of the Stu- dent Senate and the Student Activities Board. The Board agreed upon the second sug- gestion, which would make the budget of the Senate and the na '37 Octoberll ii W' fe- T - ,411 ' SAB independent of the college entirely. There is possibility that the proposal will take effect next semester. Due to the structure of the college budget, however, the amount of the fee cannot be changed until a new school year begins. The Senate then brought up the matter of folk dance, they proposed that fll a distinction be made between social danc- ing and folk dancing in the Student Handbook, thereby making permissible folk or clas- sical dancing with the approval or supervision of the faculty! administration, Q21 Demonstra- tions of folk dance with ap- proval or supervision be per- mitted, f3j Conditional permis- sion for participation under su- pervision and with approval be given, or 141 Conditional per- mission extend to off-campus events. The trustees passed the second portion of theproposal, while postponing further dis- cussion until their January meet- ing.
