Students' Government currently under the leadership of President Sal Perez-Piedra began in April 1968. During the spring and summer terms a new Constitution was approved which provided for two new Cabinet posts, Department of Student Affairs, and Department of the Interior. The two main accomplishments of the fall semester were the acceptance of M-DJCN's SGA into the Southern University Student Government Association, and the writing of the Students' Dill of Rights. The SGA is only as good as its separate parts, which are the Cabinet, Senate, and Honor Court. The Cabinet meets with the President once a week. The Cabinet members are: Secretary of Events, Jack Turnierg Organizations, Augie Pinto, Student Affairs, Sal Beharg Public Affairs, jack Briedeng Interior, Albert Capitanog State, Frank Dannenbergg Finances, John Oates, Attorney General, Craig Donoff. The Senate is presided over by the SGA Vice President. Main work of the Senate was the writing of Bill of Rights. The Honor Court, under Chief justice Bob Franks, has tried only two cases this past semester. M-DJCN is now the home of FJCSGA, with Sal Perez-Piedra the President, and Mr. Leon Robinson as the advisor. SGA also sponsored the Lyceum Series, the Miss M-DJCN contest and the Coronation and Costume Balls held at the Newport in October. T SGA OFFICIALS: SEATED: John Oates, Secretary of Finances Robert E.

William Hillard, Assistant Director of Student Activities, works to bring Eric Burden and the Animals to campus. Turned on, tuned in and way out, Eric Burden and the Animals gave a mesmerizing performance Septem- ber 26, 1968 at the J.F.K. Health Center. Visual effects were as much a part of the show as their music. Sounds to bend the ears and sights to electrify the mind, the psychedelic music was done with masterful rendition by lead vocalist Eric Burden. Although a few of the devotees in the crowded gI.F.K. Health Center were a little disappointed with the new music of the Animals, they were Well received. M-DJ C STUDENTS GRUUVED WITH ERIC BURDEN and the ANIMALS Our Gurilla Stops Another Pretty Coed. The Animals have been setting trends in popular music for years. Their beginning style of Blues and Soul brought them early acclaim. The Animals have the distinction of being one of the few English groups invited to perform at the Apollo theater in New York City. Eric Burden and the Animals have the reputation of being one of the better live-performing groups in the country, they have left M-DJNC with their reputation intact if not enhanced.
