The fence along High Street

walk all the way around. Do
you think we could have a gate
put in? '   ,

THERE ARE REASONSFOR
A GATE NOT BEING IN THE

Encouragement and guidance to
establish an Afro-American
Studies curriculum was the twofold purpose of Wilma Rudolph's
speech Monday night in Anspach
HaU.
Mrs. Rudolph,, two-time Olympic gold medalist in the track and
field competitions, spoke to a
limited audience of approximately 70 students as part of
,the Black Symposium program.
As the result of the estab
lishment of a well-rounded curriculum in Afro-Ameiicattistud-
ies, more adequately prepared
teachers could be placed in the
high schools as weH as (foe junior highs throughout the nation
she said. _
Therefore, ""Black culture
could be injected into the mainstream of America,"  she said.
She further explained, that by
preparing college students to

Senate wants voice
in seiectino chairmen
By MARJORIE WOOD
Life Staff Writer
Several resolutions, including
one to include students on screening committees which select department chairmen, were passed
by Student Senate in their longest
meeting of the year Monday night.
The resolution, which passed
unanimously, was introduced by
the Student Curriculum Committee.
In other business,Senate voted
to donate $200 to the establishment of a.'Crisis Center" which
is scheduled to open soon after
spring: vacation.
Jack Lemon, Mt. Pleasant senior, said that the service will
tentatively be housed in a building behind Fat City on May
Street. Lemon said $500 will
be needed to launch the center, -
Sisters
which is definitely needed in both
the Mt, Pleasant and university
communities.
Lemon said, "The center wiU
be staffed by trained personnel
who care about people and their
problems."
Since it is designed to serve
people who need help immediately, the conventional appointment system will be discarded in favor of an "on the
spot listening ear" similar to
Lansing.
The only other donation received  so far is a $50 check
from a  religious organization*
Lemon said.
Senate  also elected students
to sit on the Student Social Activities Committee (SSAC), the
screening committee for the selection of a vice-president of
Student Affairs and the Board of
Control of Student Publications.
Mike Mobey, Pontiac sophomore and Sandy Koch, Saginaw
sophomore, were named to the
SSAC and Doug Fox, Rochester
junior, and Bernadette Perry,
Ecorse sophomore, were elected to the screening committee.
Ken Benson, Bay Ctiy senior,
was unanimously elected to the
Board of Control of Student Publications.
A resolution that an extension
of library   hours   or possible
abolishment of hours be tried on
an experimental basis was also
passed  by senators.    Candice
Kozma, Larzelere senator, said
the experiment may becomeper-
manent    or not,   depending on
whether students utilize the new
system.
