Talking about today Fieverend Jesse Jackson Contemporary issues, current events, entertainment--speakers with many thoughts and different views come to NIU, talking on sub' jects ranging from Black Power to Ecology to ESP. Deciding who is to speak and when and where the talk will be presented is an involved process that the Speakers Committee, a branch of the SA, and the group introducing the speaker must con- tend with. There are seven members on the committee, two of which are faculty. The committee members are selected by the SA, which tries to get a fair representation from all factions of the student body. The SA attempts to balance interests and ideas on the committee by having at least one representative from the black community, the fra- ternities and the independents. The Speakers Committee is funded by activity fees, which are divided among various SA-spone sored groups. Last year, the Speakers Committee had about S30,000 to work with. The amount of money the committee receives to work with serves to control the number and the type of speakers that campus organizations can bring to students. lf a group wants to receive funds for a speaker that it hopes to bring to campus, it must first be regis- tered with the SA. Then there are forms to be filled out, questions answered and speakers and ideas de- tended. Going on its fourth year, the Speakers Committee strives to re- gulate the quality of speakers who appear on campus, giving financial support to those who they think will best meet the needs and wants of the student body.
