TEMPLE PLACE MALL With fundings from the City of Boston, the State of Mas- sachusetts, the Federal govern- ment, Suffolk University, resi- dents and a few other sources; with the labor supplied by P.V. Barone Corporation; with design by James McNeely of Beacon Hill; and with the assistance of Boston Edison, when a steam- main problem arose — the Tem- ple Place Mall, Beacon Hill ' s first pedestrian street, was dedicated on December 16, 1977 with many of its residents and Suffolk stu- dents in attendance. Originally named Tay Street in 1737 and designated as a one way street in 1936, Temple Place is now considered by its commu- nity a promenade (allowing only emergency vehicles.) However, as far as the City of Boston is concerned, Temple Place is still recognized as a one-way, traffic bearing street.

THE SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP •J i For seven years, the Student Government President, WSUB WSFR Station Managers, New Direction Coordinators and many other highly responsible leaders of organizations were granted service scholarships, as compen- sation for the incredible time and effort that each job requires. This year, with the University ' s estab- lishing a position of Financial Aid Director (previously financial aid came under the responsibilities of the Dean of Students), and for the purpose of filing for addi- tional Federally funded aid, the need for the service scholarship was questioned. Service scholarships are monies given to qualified stu- dents who fill a job, which re- quires certain skills, and which would ordinarily require profes- sional people. Under the auspices of the Dean of Students, D. Brad- ley Sullivan, the service schol- arship had always been assumed to accompany the key leadership positions. But no official certifica- tion between the two had ever been established by the adminis- tration. With no concern for the students, the Board of Trustees, at a closed-door meeting held in mid-1977, discontinued all ser- vice scholarships and requested that such effected position be fil- led with financially needy indi- viduals. Because of University commitments to the already elected or appointed people for the positions, it was not possible to cut-off fundings for the 1977- 78 year. As the academic year began, Student Activities Director, Bon- nie Betters-Reed, began a cam- paign — along with the leaders of the effected organizations — to find other avenues to fund these positions. The first attempt came in early February (1978) when S.G.A. President, John C. Bartley, presented an appeal from his group to the board of trustees. The appeal was not granted a hearing. Shortly following this de- feat, a five-and-one-half page proposal was delivered in person to the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees by Betters-Reed, for his comments. This request asked that the positions (sixteen in all) be funded as part-time jobs through the Student Activities of- fice. First comments by the Ad- ministration were that they could not afford the $30,000. asked to pay for these jobs. The amount which was in their budget was $10,000. — $12,000. (an amount which would apply to five of the sixteen positions), though they did realize that to hire profes- sionals would be much more of an expense for the University. In March (1978) a decision came from the Administration that flatly refused the proposal and any other alternatives of- fered by Betters-Reed and her group. The effect of this action will devastate any future Ac- tivities ' programs, and this leaves the students to suffer. No indi- vidual can possibly hold down a part-time job (for living expenses) and be expected to produce the leadership position efficiently. There is a strong possibility that there will be no newspaper, no yearbook, no special functions, in the Suffolk community ' s future. 21
