Under their direction, the Board sponsored Spring Weekend: nu- merous discos,' movies such as Lady Sings the Blues and Day of the Dolphin ,' bowl- ing tournaments: the Arts and Crafts Festi- val,' and a variety of student debates and lectures.

S.GA. met every Wednesday, 4:30 p.m., in the Rumsey Room. The room was usually filled to capacity, as each campus organiza- tion is allowed to send a Senator to re- present it. The open forum dealt with a wide variety of concerns: Homecomingg food service: Who's Who selection: student recognition,' Drop-Add date,' parking,' com- muter-dorm student relationsf yearbook financing: creative arts,' etc. To each of these, Pres. Mullane gave his attention, as did the entire executive committee: Vice- Pres. Marie Ballas,' Treas. Richard Donavanp Secretary Carol Burke: and Parliamen- tarian Diane Swain. Though the meetings were often long and drawn out, much was accomplished. lt is to this end that each senator and officer put in hours of work and dedication.
