By ALAN AXELROD At the end of a two-hour Wednesday night session, the Senate approved a resolution to let SAGA workers know that the Senate is sympathetic to their requests for higher Wages. The resolution came in re- sponse to a report submitted by Craig Allin, Chairman of the Senate Food Service and Wage Scale Committee, in which he told oi plans by workers at the Quadrangle dining hall to go on strike starting Saturday at 12 noon. Allin had been planning to submit proposals to Dean Rich- ard Winters and Donald Lam- bie, vice-president ot the col- lege, when he was scooped by a letter that Lamhie sent to all THESE CAPTURED North Vietnamese women were in South Viet Nam to help the Viet Cong win people over to their side.

SAGA workers announcing that wages would be increased from as to 95 cents per hour. Allin, however, felt that this oifer was merely "tokenism," and ap- proached Lamhie with a gradu< BU LLETI N College Vice President Donald Lambie yesterday announced a further increase in Saga wages. According to the new pay schedule, retroactive to 0c- (fiber 15, Saga workers will be paid at these graduated rules: Students in lst year or work for Saga: $1.01) per hour Students in 2nd year: $1.05 per hour Students in 3rd or 4th year: 31.10 per hour Lamhie emphasized that the rates were temporary. He said there is a probabil- ity ot a board charge in- crease for the 2nd semester to cover the added cost. ated wage plan in which SAGA workers would initially receive $1 per hour, with five-cent raises coming at the end of the firSt. third, filth, and seventh semesters of service to SAGA. Allin was told that such a plan would necessitate raising the annual board tee, and that it would have to be ap- proved by the trustees. Allin reported to the Senate that the plan would constitute an addi- tional expense of $8.25 per stu- dent per year. in response to Senator David Swee's remarks about the strike negatively allecting ute col- lege's attitude toward the pro posed increases, Aws Board President K a r e n Lauterbach said she felt sure that the strike would be looked upon as a re sponsible protest against the present SAGA wage scale. The resolution states that the Senate, feeling that SAGA wages are unrealistic, approve! of Such measures as are neces- sary to alleviate the present situation. Prior to passing the SAGA resolution, the Senate approved resolutions concerning the re- sponsibility of SGA in reime bursing halls for stolen or dam- aged property and the practice or reserving study desks in the library by keeping books there ovemight.

The Executive Cabinet cun- ' tended that SGA cannot assume responsibility tor reimbursing individuals or groups for loss of or damage to privately owned property. The statement went on to say that all residence halls Should be made aware or the necessity oi insuring such- hallrowned appliances as ste- reos. televisions, and refrigera- (01's. in regard to the library situ- ation, the Senate passed a reso- lution introduced by Senator Chuck Wall. The resolution ex- presses to the library the tie sire oi the Senate “to have all books removed from all desks at the end or each day and placed along the empty shelves located either in the book cases or along the walls, This is to allow every student and not just a tow to have access to library desks.” In his report to the Senate, SENATE—a (Continued on Page I)
