Award Procedure;
Sasiif@rs
The Student Senate, at its
January 18th meeting, voted to
reject the system of nominating
seniors for Chip Awards accepted last week, and adopted
a new one.
Chip Awards are given annually to seniors who, according to student body vote, are
outstanding in character,
scholarship, leadership, and
campus usofullness. Eight
will bo given this yoar.
Introduced by Lem Tucker,
the system now to be used calls
for three nominations from the
Inter-Fraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, Associated
Women Students, and Men's
Union. The senior class will
nominate six, and* the Senate
will supplement the number of
nominees to a maximum of 25.
An alternate for each nominee
is also to be chosen.
Another important piece of
business was the expulsion of
three Senators for too many absences. They are Dave Zeigler,
Mary Kay Coleman, and Gloria
Groulx.
The task of revising Senate
ordinances was begun. Only a
few minor changes in wording
Were made.

i Residents
May Pay Obligation
Plan
Beginning next semester,
dormitory residents may pay
theirroo m and board fees as
easily as mailing a letter, according to Robert Spindler of
Central's business division. In
fact, it will not even cost the
price of a postage stamp.
The business office has
worked out a procedure whereby the dorm dweller put room
and board payments in a specially prepared envelope and
deposit it in a "Drop Box" just
inside the Cashiers' office in
Warriner Hall.
There are a rew regulations,
however, which must be observed in following the step by
step directions in order to be
credited for payment. Printed
envelopes, complete with instructions, will be available in
each dormitory. One of these
envelopes must be used for
each paymen. These envelopes
together with a payment-notice
form may be obtained from the
housemother in any one of the
residence halls.
To make a board and room
payment, the dorm resident
need only pick up one of these
envelopes and follow the directions printed on them. A payment form must be filled out
and a check for the exact
amount prepared. Both should
be placed in the envelope, and
the envelope dropped in the
box just outside the cashier's
office. Since this drop box is located in the hallway, there is
no "closing time."
The deadline- for each dorm
payment will be observed,
however, and payments must
be placed in the bov before this
date in order to avoid the late
fee  penalty,  failure  to follow

The Senate voted against
sending a representative to the
Michigan Winter Queen contest
to be held in Petoskey on Feb.
6th.
Committee reports completed
the business.
Tom Fitch said his Educational Affairs committee has
drafted plans to schedule a lecture series for next semester.
The lectures will feature professors talking on topics of
their choice. Many professors
have been interviewed, Fitch
said, and seem interested in the
lecture idea.
Reporting for the Student
Affairs and Welfare committee, Hugh Methner said he
had been working on ihe possibility of doing away wiih
class officers. This would
mean selecting a special committee for class social events,
or discontinuing ihe social
events also.
Arden Holland of the National Student Association committee announced Feb. 19-21 as
the dates for the Human Relations Workshop to be held at
Flint Junior College. Campus
problems, including religion
and politics, and those of foreign students, are the concern
of Human Relations clubs.
A paper containing NSA
news is to be sent to all campus
organizations. A NSA bulletin

the directions exactly may
cause delay in processing a
payment and this may result in
a late fee penalty.
There are several DON'TS to
be carefully observed:
Don't place cash in the envelope; write a check on your
regular bank account if you
maintain one, or write a Student Bank check if you have
sufficient funds on deposit in
the Student Bank.
Don't forget to print name,
residence hall and student
number on the pay-notice form
and on the outside of the envelope. The receipt for payment will be returned in this
envelope.
Don't place in U.S. mail; drop
in the special box provided in
Warriner Hall.
Don't destroy the envelope
when it is returned to you; it
will contain your receipt for
payment and may be used over
again when the next room and
board payment is due.

ning at 6:30. But Beatty was far
from being the only winner.
Isabella County's March of
Dimes Fund was ihe big winner. It was increased by
S1742.50 because of ihe fraternity contest. This is an increase of more than S3.0 over
the total from ihe same IFC
drive las year.
This is significant when the
fact that the fraternities were
given only two and one-half
days to canvass the county is
considered. Last year the fraternity men had five days to
cover the county where the
great percentage of the funds
are collected.

More Saturday and evening
classes will gradually be added
at Central to meet the increased
enrollment, President Foust announced.    »
At one time every freshman
was required to take a Satur-
d a y morning class. Parents
complained about this arrangement because it interferred
with students working in family stores and on farms.
The administration has lo
sell both the faculty and the
students on ihe idea of Saturday and evening classes. "We
aren't working wiih blocks io
push around; we are working
wiih people," Dr. Foust said.
The president explained this
by saying that instructors are
human   hpings  tvhn   i-in   -innnm
modate only so many classes
and projects. Besides teaching
they have private lives. Most
instructors have several classes
during the week, and when
evening classes and. ,pr _a Sat;
in-day class is" "added" they
haven't time to do each area
justice.
CMU has to request money
to pay instructors for these extra classes in the budget, so the
Legislature has to be persuaded
about the importance also.

wouldn't   be   more   practical.
Not all, Foust said, but some
classes might be more  efec-
live if the students met one
or two days a week, instead
of three, and spent ihe other
hour in the library doing research  or  studying  on  their
own.   Dr.   Foust   said   ihai
there is no regulation stating
that a three hour class has to
meet three hours a week.
President Foust said that the
problem    of   eliminating  -non-
studious  students  can  be  considered in two lights. Instead of
tightening  the  entrance  standards and possibly making CMU
appear to be a hard school to
attend,   Foust   said,   we   could
eliminate   students   after   they
get here quicker if they do not
meet requirements. As it is, a
student may be readmitted and
be  on  academic probation for
two semesters or longer as long
as   he   is   improving   even
slightly, if he hasn't earned a
two point average. This system
could  be  tightened  to  eliminate students who don't reform
after one or two semesters.
Trophies were won by two
Central Michigan University
speech students at the Michigan
Intercollegiate Speech League
meet held at Detroit Institute
of Technology last weekend.
Sharon Culpepper, a Midland junior won a §25 cash
award and a trophy for the Women's Extempore Speaking on
"Peace".
Roger Keel, a junior, also
won a $25 cash award and a
trophy for the Men's Oratory
on "Peace".
Joan Westbrook was first in
Women's Oratory in the preliminaries, but was not a finalist.
Dr. Herbert Curry, director
of oratory and extempore
speaking, and Dr. Billy Skill-
man, assistant professor of
speech, accompanied the three
contestants.
The Michigan Intercollegiate
Speech League is comprised of
14 Michigan colleges and universities.
Twenty graduate assistants
will be added to Central's staff
next fall. They will carry half-

eight hours |of credit in whatever
field they vtjlish, ,

Graduate assistants would re-

year. Applications can be made
through a department or the
Dean of Graduate Students. At
the moment several students
have already expressed an interest in the program. Assistant
graduates will not necessarily be
Central graduates.
