U55 I C 105 I I Wi 175 f3l 195 ABC Major Congress lssue Student Congress, during the first semester, was headed by Tom Wienner, with Dan Boyce as his second in command. Sue Workman was secretary, and Tavi Fulkerson rounded out the list of officers by keeping track of the treasury. The major issue facing the Congress this year was the contro- versy over allowing the A Better Chance CABCJ program to exist in Birmingham. It is a program sponsored by Dartmouth College in which underprivileged students would be given a better chance to receive an education by being allowed to live and attend school in a more well to do community fsuch as Birminghaml. Controversy is indeed the correct adjective to use to describe Congress' reaction to this program. The pros and cons of the ABC program were debated to such an extent that four meetings were occupied by only this issue. Congress invited Birmingham City Com- missioner Dr. John Dorsey to speak to the congress concerning the good aspects of the ABC program. After all the arguments were presented, Congress voted the proposal down. This rejection of ABC became a widely discussed issue around the Detroit area, and it resulted in vaulting both the school and the city into the news. Student Congress proposed an alternative to the ABC program that they felt would better solve the problems of inner city education. The proposed the establishment of a new committee to help these schools by either mobolizing students from Seaholm to travel to the inner city to help the students there, or to help in the financing of needed improvements. Congress also sponsored three used glass return projects aimed at fighting the pollution problem. Students and community groups contributed several tons of glass to each of the three drives. Also in the line of fighting for needed improvements in the community, Congress passed many resolutions regarding the operation of Sea- holm. They supported open campus and the extension of study hall excuse privileges to all students next year.
