homecoming festivities next

Eastern   Michigan    University.
NEXT LIFE SATURDAY
Life will come out on Saturday next week because of
Homecoming week-end.
After 53 minutes of deliberation Central's student court
brought in a decision last Sunday evening tjiat disqualified
j | Marcia Rosenburg as a candi-
date for 1960 homecoming
queen.
The trial was held in the student government office with
Don Toffolo, temporary chief
justice, presiding.
Miss Rosenberg was disqualified because her backers, Alpha
Sigma Tau sorority and Sigma
Tau   Gamma  fraternity,   failed
to turn in her petition before
the 4:30 p.m. deadline Sept. 30.
Rosie   De   Giandis,   chairman of Ihe election committee, testified that Joan Whiie-
nor,   chairman   of   the   campaign for  Alpha Sigma Tau
turned in the petition at 4:30
p.m.,   20   minutes   after   the
scheduled deadline, which is
a   violation   of   the   election
rules.
The defense plea, made by
Pat Cook, president of Sigma
Tau Gamma, was based on the
uncertainty of the rule which
reads, "Petitions should be returned to the Student Government Office in the University
Center no later than 4:30 p.m.
on Friday, September 30, 1960."
Cook said that this rule was
not clear, in that it did not
specify "must be" thus allowing
for misinterpretation of the
rule.
Ken Ballien, promotion chairman   for   the   fraternity,   said
that this time element was not
meant to keep candidates from
running but rather to facilitate
the checking of petitions to see
that they were valid. He felt
that since the petition was only
20   minutes   late,   it   shouldn't
have    hampered    the    election
committee to any great extent.
The reason for the petition
being late as stated by Joan
Whiiener  was  that she had
classes   until '4:36.   She   had
forgotten the petition and had
to run back io her dorm and
get it. She then immediately
turned it in.
Bill   H a r 11 e,    representing
Sigma   Tau   Gamma,   told   the
court that it  was  evident the
rules were made up hastily and
that the election committee did
not clearly interpret the rules
to any of the organizations running a queen candidate.
Hartle alleged the court to be
biased when he said, "Assuming you are a jury and not
prosecuting, then being a jury
you should be unbiased. You
are prosecuting us with your
own ideas and questions."
Toffolo replied that since
there was no prosecution the
court had to act as both prosecutor and jury.
The   defense   summed   up
their   case   by   stating   that
first, the ruling was too indefinite;   secondly,   by   disqualifying   their   candidate
both organizations would suffer   a  financial  loss;   thirdly
cause an emotional upset to
iheir    candidate    and   lastly
develop a situation whereby
only one girl would be dropped from ihe queen's court.
After  deliberation the  court
stated that in view of the facts
presented they felt that the segment of the rule reading "not
later than" fully explained the
clause   and   left  no   room  for
doubt of the actual time.

posed constitutional, amendment that had been passed at

signatures of three-quarters of
the Senate,
After almost a three-quarter

BY NANCY HUCK
With the opening of the new
University Center the era of
Keeler Union came to an end.
No longer can students go "unionizing" or enroll for their
favorite subject "Keelerology,"
for now, although the building
still exists, its silvered age of
greatness has passed.
Keeler Union, erected in
1940, has been the second or
sometimes first home of many
present Central students and
graduates holding many fond
memories for both.
Once a hub of activity, the
now empty Union stands as a
monument to the modern age
of progress and advancement.
Although many students still
cling to the hominess of Keeler
Union they must admit that the
new University Center has
many advantages and facilities
that Keeler did not have.
In the old Union one small
room served as a student organization office that held five
or six groups in a room so small
that no desks or filing cabinets
were available.
Now there are two large student government offices equipped with several desks and
large work space. In addition, a
conference room is adjacent to
the office for meetings of the
student leaders.
The second floor of Keele"
Union held a game room containing five pool tables. The
room in the University Center
reserved for this sport has eight
tables in a much larger playing
area.
Conference rooms in Keeler
were limited to three tiny
rooms that also doubled as private dining rooms plus the ballroom that served for dances
and other large meetings. Tire
ballroom was limited to 400
people at meetings and 375 at
dinners.
. In iho now buUdiag ihoso
are    three    private    dining
rooms, four conference rooms
and the ballroom which will
accommodate   600-700   people
ai dinners and 900 at dances.
Keeler's   grill   room   could
serve about 270 people but the
"Reservation" in the University
Center  will  take  care  of  450.
The old public cafeteria could
handle 85  while the  new  one
will accommodate 250.
Staff offices in the University
Center are more spacious and
plentiful as compared to office
space in the old Union where
three or four people were
cramped into one office.
Keeler did have a TV lounge,
but the one in the new Center
is much larger, furnished to
seal 100 persons.
A  popular  room   with  commuting and off campus students
is the Off Campus Room where
these   students  may   eat  their
lunch or rest between classes.
A   special   feature   of   the
new Center is the inclusion of
a   Creative   Arts   Workshop
where   students   may   utilize
iheir    creative    talents.    The
workshop contains kilns, potters wheel, painting supplies
and   facilities   as  well   as   a
large,   completely    furnished
dark room.
Other new features of The
University Center are bowling
lanes with automatic pin setters, a "Scalp Shop" for any
type haircut, and the large
University Book Store completely equipped to take Care of
every student need.
The new building also contains a music and browsing
room that according to Richard
Lichtenfelt, director of the University Center, is Second to
none in the Country.
As soon as the facilities are
completed the Student Center
will be equipped with a sound
system for the transmission of
background  mubic   and  an-
Approximately fifty hand-
thrown pots will be on display
in the University Center showcases (opposite ballroom) from
October 9 to October 31.
The pots are the work of Dr.
Kenneth R. Beitell, associate
professor of Art Education at
Pennsylvania  State University.
One characteristic of Dr.
Beitell's work is the use of unexpected shapes and sizes. Tall,
twenty-one-inch bottles may
have tiny lips, or have wide
lips with tiny handles around
the lower neck.
The designs on the pots range
from vigorous and spontaneous
to precise and exacting.
During the summer, he devotes his time to making pottery at the Four Hands Pottery
along with Dr. Robert Burk-
hart, assistant professor of art
at Central.
Sooner Speak
At MEA Conference
Two of Central's home economics professors, Miss Helen
Lohr and Miss Evelyn Rouner,
are speaking at regional conferences of the Michigan Education Association this week.
Miss Lohr is going- to Lansing today to speak to the home
economics section of that region
on "A Realistic Approach to the
Teaching of Money Management." Miss Rouner will be in
Traverse City today and tomorrow speaking on "The Unmet
Needs of the High School Students".
nouncements is to keep them to
a minimum.
"We have a beautiful building," said Mr. Lichtenfelt, "and
we want it to be used by everyone. But s'tudents must make
an effort to help us keep what
we have."
The University Center is the
community center of the university and the "heart of the
campus."
For many years Keeler Union
held that distinction. Although
the music department will soon
move in, Keeler is presently
empty, a graying witness to the
growth and advancement eS
Central Michigan university.
