PRESIDENT CHARLES L. ANSPACH (left) who is retiring,
July 1 after 20 years at CMC, congratulates Dr. Judson W.
Foust, CMC vice president who was named to succeed Anspach at the annual Recognition Convocation. Band Director
Norman Dietz is in the background.
The Central Michigan College
band did a little improvising on
its own last week when it" was
discovered that its treasury was
short some $27.
Some of the boys got their
heads together and decided to
have a car wash. Mr. Lyons has
donated his Standard Gas station, at 712 N. Mission, all day
next Saturday to accomodate
these ambitious musicians.
This will be no ordinary car
wash. Howard Taylor will be
sitting out in front with his guitar and bull whip, luring in customers. Jack Gridley Will be on
hand to sell gas to the people
who come in for a car wash, and
scores of saxophone players,
drummers, tuba players, and
trumpet men will be on hand to
swarm over the dirty cars and
make them clean again.
There will be several teams,
each working against each other
to see who can wash the most
cars in the least amount of time.
Don't be too discouraged though,
you auto owners. The rules of
the game are to make your car
a clean car, and these temperamental musicians are going to
do just that if you let them.

MIXER TOMORROW
There  will be an all-college
mixer   in   the   Gymnasium   tomorrow from 9-12 p.m.
Student government leaders,
members of the administration
and Mt. Pleasant civic leaders
met in Keeler Union last Tues-
d a y night to discuss mutual
problems.
President Charles L. Anspach
suggested  that  this  might  become a regular meeting which
would serve to keep the city and
college in touch with each other.
Problems discussed  ai  the
meeting were parking, handling of student law violators,
student group service projects
and student credit.
Mayor    Douglas    McFarlane
pointed out that the ordinance
prohibiting   parking   on   city
streets from 2-5 a.m. which goes
into effect November 1 was not
aimed at students.
He said it was a city-wide
problem because on-street parking was hampering snow removal and street cleaning. He
also pointed out that apartment
owners would be affected by the
ordinance more than students.
Ed Phillips, president of Inter-Fraternity Council, said that
if he had been a resident of Mt.
Pleasant he would "have approved whole-heartedly what
the city commission has done."
Some students at the meeting
felt the city should be tougher
on students who violate the law. j
President Anspach expressed the
consensus when ho said:
"Students should not have
any different treatment than
any other citizens,"
City   officials   present   all
areed' that Central students and
organizations had the repulatinn '' cm
of meeting their financial obli
gations promptly,
President N. C, Bovee said tha
students do pay taxes.
He pointed out that student:
pay sales taxes and that Mt.]
Pleasant $10 in sales tax diversion money for each student
here at the time of the most recent federal census. '
Additional Hours
For Llbranf Study
During the period from Monday, May 25, through examination week, the College Library
will be open for additional hours
to meet the needs of students
preparing for examinations and
completing required papers.
From Monday through Thursday, beginning May 25, the Library will be open until 10:20
p.m. each evening. On Friday
and Saturday, June 5 and 6, the
Library will be open with limited service until 9:00 p.m.
Desk service will be provided
in the Circulation and Reference
Departments from 5:00 to 9:00
p.m. on Sunday, June 7, when
the Library opens after the
Commencement Exercises.
Lem Tucker and Kathy McGuire, recently elected heads of
next years student body announced their plans for student
government next year.
A major issue will be a possible discontinuation of the Stu-
d e n t Administrative Advisory
Council, according to Lem. "We
need a bigger sounding board
for some of these problems discussed by this Council. I think
that any of these questions discussed here, could and should be
taken to the Student Senate."
Lem pointed out that in doing
this, the Senate will gain more
power and become a more useful
tool in student government. He
feels that this will reflect a
larger amount of student opinion
on these issues.
"I think ihis is one way we
can get belter coordination
between ihe Administration
and ihe Student Body," Lem
said.
•The National Student Association has become a big problem
in that many members of student government feel as though
it isn't worthwhile for Central
to continue to remain in the organization. The Senate has put
'"almost §1000 into N.S.A. and it
is felt that Central hasn't received its money's worth.
Tucker said that he and Kathy
McGuire will attend the summer
conference and see whether
something can be salvaged out
ofN.jS.A.
nother big problem affecting
student government next year
will be the limited office space
available to the various factions
of student government. "We are
presently cramped into little
nooks and corners all over campus. Our files are not organized.
Our institution is growing and it
is definite that we can't carry on
effective student government
with this situation," Lem said.
"I plan to utilize the officers
more," Tucker announced. "I
don't plan to make any appointments without the advice of my
cabinet. This means that more
people will be working on Student Government."
Tucker also indicated ihai
some attention should be
given to ihe budget. He feels
ihai ihere should be a justifi
cation of where ihai money
goes, and would like io see a
tabulation in print.
Tucker said that he feels that
a   better  coverage   of   student
government by LIFE would
bring the students closer to government affairs. This is necessary for  stronger government.
He indicated that he would like
to   appoint   a   public   relations
man in order to get this information down to the students.
