Page Six SCARLET AND BLACK Friday, February l3, I970 Senate Discusses Newspaper; Possible Support for Thomas Lately there has been a lot of pressure put on the folks who run the SRiB to answer student de- mands that the editors and staff try to confine their political views to the editorial page and leave reporting. editing, and layout free from the oppressive burdens oi political bias. The college com- munity desires that this paper approach its coverage of events and issues with complete political objectivity. In an attempt to establish an objective distance between my assignment and my political prejudices (such a distance would obviously facilitate a de- tached View of the senate meetings( I now submit a report on a senate meeting which i did not attend. Although sprinkled With fact, this report is essential- 1y composed from rumor, mali- cious gossip, and slanderous character assasination. Johanna Ward is finally a senator. Mick Schaalman reported from the student-faculty ‘student power’ negotiations. Mick said a forthcoming statement would “tell all," but he did announce that progress has been made in establishing plans for student in- volvement in general education reqm'i-ements and other aca» demic affairs, Mick pointed out that his committee was dealing with only academjc issues, and that other committees would have to take it upon themselves to work out plans for residence reforms, social guidelines, grapes in the jello, etc. Mick asked that the senate fill the three vacancies on the com- mittee (Prawn, Stranger, and Schwartz), and the senate was delighted to oblige (Alan Cohen, Jim Lew, and Frank Thomas.) Jon Stein has received per mission from Mrs, J, Hawk and Mr. S, Chuck to sell food in the Cafe del Faro from B-l2 on Friday and Saturday night. The fare will include tea. coffee, pastry. bagels and lox (pronounced “‘lahks”). Expansion of sales to Tuesdays thru Thursday and a gala Sunday brunch seem feasible for the future, Moved by his fellow students’ hunger for relevant reading matter, Mike Penzner asked the senate to give postable copies of the minutes to house presidents. Mike then asked the senate to revoke the finance committee’s ruling that no hall can get its social funds if it has outstanding damage fines, (The rationale for this ruling is that the finance committee does not want hails to pay oii tines with social money.) Mike, desiring to return the power to his people, asserted that a hall should be able to determine how it wishes to spend its money. Whirlwind debate on halls and hall funds resulted in the passing of a motion that no hall funds could be spent without a major vote of the hall, but a motion to revoke the original ii- nance committee ruling about denying initiative funds to halls with outstanding damage bills was defeated.

Recalling the ghost of Henry Wilhelm, Torn assured the senate that they would not be the major contributors to the paper and, therefore, would not be re Sponsible for legal hassles which might come up. Frugal Andy Loewi wanted to know if Tom had returned the senate money from his opus “,The Second Battle of Chicago.” Tom assuagcd Andy's concern with an assurance that part of the money had been returned, Debate followed on the virtues of having several small newspapers in- stead cione “biggy.” Frank Thomas, in an unfortuns ate semantic move, suggested that the senate give Tom “all the money he wants.” Tom asked for fifty thousand dollars, but Frank only had one buck on him and refused to give it to Tom bccause he needed to play ping-pong alter the meeting. Someone asked Doug Klein, mild-mannered student auditor, if the student government had the money to give to Tom in the event that they vote to do so. Doug’s reply was a firm, self-assured “I don’tknmv." The senate tabled poor Tom until next week, when Doug will report on the rcsey condition or SGA finances. By Tom Greenfield Continued iron! pagc 5 revealed a sharp mind. For in stance, concerning the lndians’ demands for government reim» bursement for confiscated lands, Papakee quipped, “If they paid us, maybe we wouldn’t have to be doing this (singing).” The audience seemed to have great respect tor Papakee and his music, although they did not personally identify with it. Following the Papakecs was Glen Ohrlin, superb yarn-spinner and master of the art of un derstatement. With a completely straight face, Ohrlin amused everyone with his tales and cowboy ballads, while ac- companying himseli with a simple unsophisticated guitar strum. Bukka white, quite a storyteller himself, also got a warm reception. His strong, hardrdriving, blues beat counter- balanced some fine, delicate guitar improvisation. Especially impresswe was his use of a metal cylinder on his left hand. which achieved dobroseffects on his all metal guitar. Maybelle Carter, best known of all the participants, did some fairly good flatspioking and doublethumbing on banjo and guitar, but her singing technique did not quite measure up to her reputation. In addition, her compulsion to apologize ex- cessively made her seem very unsure of herself and distracted Now How February 25 Annual Sale Van ‘Raal’re Sheerio Bikinis and Panties Of Duponf Nylon Tricoi Bikini Tailored 3 pairs 3 35 Briefs — Sires 4 to 7 Sixes B to 9 3 pairs 3.75 3 pairs 4.70 Poynter's 4th Ave. Fashions Grinnell. Iowa from her overall performance. TheSilver Light Gospel Singers were a (me example of spiritual singing at its best. Without the aid of any instrument, they maintained perfect pitch throughout a varied and in- tercsting rcpetoire of black folk music. Undoubtedly, the high point oi all the workshops and concerts was the unparalleled Cajun Band. Those who left the Saturday concert early missed a rare experience: to the beat of over two hundred madly clicking spoons and clapping hands, the Balia Brothers and Nathan Ashire thrilled the audience with a reireshing combination of bluegrass~Virginia reel-French care music. Long after the concert, echoes of “WhoaaatH” could Still be heard in the night, Judging irom the affectionate and enthusiastic reaction to the Cajun Band (they were the only group to receive a standing ovation), the college community would certainly welcome them back to play at a dance, BEYMER’S King's Food Host U.S.A.
