Robert Gaunt, Washington
Court, objected during the
meeting to the use of student
government funds to pay for
the advertisement of the constitutional referendum in last
Friday's Life:
Gaunt claimed the advert
tisement looked more like an
endorsement than a political
announcement. He said it was
questionable to use student
government funds to promote
the constitution since it had
not been endorsed yet by the
student body who may not
support it.
Joe Sweeney, student body
president, explained that "It
is the duty of this body to run
a political announcement on
the referendum to make sure
it is properly communicated
since we petitioned to place
the constitution on the ballot,"
"Essentially what the advertisement said," Sweeney
stated, "is that there was going to be a constitutional referendum placed on the ballot
by Student Senate and that it
was endorsed by those who
signed."
Bob Burkett, Preston Court,
said he believed it should be
the responsibility of the persons who signed the endorsement to pay for the ad.
Tom Tope, Ronan, stated
that since Senate passed the
constitution they should be
willing to back up the executive board's endorsement and
pay the bill.
Sid Smith, IFC, said, "Without this type of advertising er
promotion, we may run into
three or four ballots which
will run into a lot of money.
As far as I am concerned, the
student body should spend to
the ultimate in supporting
this."
Jim Maybaugh, Men's Union,
moved that Senate approve
the allotment to cover the ad
in" Life. The motion carried.
Sweeney announced that
Dorothy Weaver, Grandville
sophomore, is the executive
board's choice to represent
Central for the IIAC Queen
Contest at Eastern Illinois.
The expense will be paid by
Information Services and the
Physical Education department.
Sweeney also announced
that The Hunsmen, a Central
folk-singing group, won first
place in a folk-singing festival
at Olivet College. The Hunsmen received S100, a trophy
and have been booked at several nightclubs in western
Michigan. Twelve • Michigan
schools entered the competition.
James    Bedore,    Unionvilie
junior, will be the chairman -^f
a newly formed committee to
arrange speaking engagements
