Of Approving Association
Jamboree
On Dean's
Black List
"Some undesirable incidents
which resulted In disciplinary ac-
tion" and over-indulgence In
"painting activities" during this
year's Freshman Jamboree will
probably result In some drastic
changes In next years program.
That opinion was expressed by
Garvin Bcauchamp dean of stu-
dents who has called In Cullcn
Johnson president of the Stu-
dent's Association and the Stu-
dent Life committee to "evaluate
this year's Jamboree."
"IT IS VERY likely that this is
the last of this painting business"
said Dean Bcauchamp. "There
will be a recommendation from
the Dean of Student's office that
this be banned."
Dean Bcauchamp declined to
say what the "undesirable inci-
dents" were saying "that It
would be in the best interest of
the college to ignore them."

Senate Lacks Three Items
A 14-item Student Association budget Involving nearly $4200
came within three appropriations of being approved Monday night
before the Student Senate adjourned their first meeting of the year.
Among the larger appropriations receiving consent during the
hour and thirty-five minute session were $700 ear-marked for the
All-School picnic $375 for the cheerleaders and $280 going to the
"" "J -v.-M-fj III5IUUI1
The highest amount In tho
proposed budget submitted by
treasurer Gwynneth Curtis was
$1230 to be used for on-campus
entertainment. This will bo one
of the first appropriations to be
discussed when the Senate meets
Monday night to stamp Its final
approval on tfie year's financial
plan.
MOST NOTABLE among ap-
propriations approved in past
years but missing from the 1960-
61 budget was the "special pro-
ject" stipend.
Vice president Bob Baker ex-
plained the absense of this item
by saying that "we are working
this year with the idea of putting
every dollar given to the Students
Association back into the associa-
tion during this year."
In other action the Senate
named five freshmen to the steer-
ing committee that will guide
that class until officers arc elect-
ed during the seventh week of
school.
THEY WERE Kathy Akin
Sheila Rankin Jimmy McReyn-
PTIMIST
Budget
olds Jerry Pipes and Charles
McCook.
Preliminary plans were discus-
sed on a proposed election during
the next two weeks to fill a va-
cancy left by sophomore Pat Tay-
lor who failed to return this se-
mester. Final plans will be approved
Monday night.
A question which caused sev-
eral long discussions during Sen-
ate meetings at the close of the
spring semester again appeared
on the floor Monday that of a
payment or "scholarship" for the
Students Association president.
