SCARLET AND BLACK Page ISevan Referendum on Oil-campus SAGA Option Scheduled ‘Okay Name For Next Tuesday, September 30, A referendum will be held in the lunch lines to determine whether approximately nine- teen nit-campus seniors will be allowed exemption from board Sleep-In Bombs By Kay Carlson it was a clear, cool night on Mac Field. The stars twinkling down tor the Saga Sleeprln were dismayed at the scarcity or souls below. Who would reap of the wisdom they poured from the heavens? Only seven Individuals had stayed after the initial attrac— tion of the artificial llicker of Laurel and Hardy and atter Saga Chuck’s iruit drink. Only seven would watch the Big Bear caVurt in the sky. But alas, even during this display some of them retreat- .ed [0 a tent, and oLhers fell asleep! Was there no one to divine their message? indeed, the distant thrub at" a single guitar raised in song, answer- ed that there was no one.

The two main factors alfect- ing the decision will be the in- crease in board cost for next semester If the reierendum passes, and the probable insti- tution or a checking system, in me form of 11) cards. to be presented at each meal. According to the figures pre- sented to the Student Affairs Committee, ii the nineteen-or—so students who expressed a de- sire to iorego board should do so, the increase in fees for re- maining boarders would be $5.40 tor the year. (When the number of boarders decreases, the decrease in Saga expenses is not Comparable, so the fee per remaining boarder must: increase for the college to meet its contract with Saga.) The college would absorb the cost tor this semester, but next se- mester each student would be paying $2.70 more in board. In addition. some sort of checking procedure would have to be enforced. The SAC is working on other alternatives, but so far the proposed sys- tem would be to issue each student a photo ID card indi‘ eating his board status and re- quire him to present it at each meal. The cost of the card per student would be about $1.50 (or maybe less), and the cost or empioying checkers would be about 5.95 per student. Therefore, the board cost next semester would jump about $515 per student. ii the referendum passes (by \ Van Baalte Hosien to Philip Hose bale Tvro weeks only — September 29th - October 11th Save up to 20% — Buy 6 pairs, save even more.
