Several days ago, 1 was awakened by a Rutgers gentleman with a large poster announcing a mixer to be held at Tinsley. He greeted me with, Will you please do whatever it is you have to do to this so that I can put it up?', My immediate reply was unprintable and I somehow managed to tell him that the poster stamp was at the g.a. office and that he would have to wait. He was livid, and re- marked as he stormed out the door, UWhat kind of damn bureauc- racy do you have over here?', The incident sticks in my mind at the beginning of this se- mester, full of meeting No. 1,647 and ad hoc committee 68. After an early September orientation weekend with the Assembly members at which brainstorming sessions were lively and intelligent, after finally establishing such things as students on faculty standing com- mittees, and beer and smoking and curriculum changes, where have we gotten? Have the best laid plans of all the mice come down to the little red stamp and lots of mimeographed notices? I don't think so. We must be more to the student body than a little red stamp. And we can beg if there ever was an opportunity, it is now. Contrary to popular opin- ion, g.a. is alive and living on Douglass College campus. We are committed to the big issues and we are searching, as we must, for a way to pinpoint the concerns of a multivarious and, at times, unvoeal student body. Necessarily, these concerns aren't always of the exciting and grand nature. There will be those who want, justihably, to know why skirts in the dining halls, But this doesnit have to be the focal point. Maybe in the process of discovering our potential as a representative government, we can use the stamp that says, g.a. initiated instead of Hg.a. approved . -Susan Little g.a. president October 4, 1968 For government association it was a year of the ordinary. There was intelligent and active leadership. There were some varsity members of last year's Assembly of the Revolution. Faculty members were vocal but abstaining. The administration usually dissenting but informative. The issues were the same with a few insignihcant changes. g.a. debated every aspect of any new motion on the floor. While other colleges were incensed over burning issues Douglass was discuss- ing the issue of burning incense. -Rita Whalen January 15, 1969
