Todays Western Day for elections
activity-filled
Western Day is here today. To start out this school-
wide activity today's chapel service featured The
Shoppe country music performers from Dallas.
Lunch will be held from 11:30 -1 at the Veda Hodge
Cafeteria where the staff will try to create a Western
atmosphere.
From 1-5 p.m. there will be different booths and
activities set up outside between Winebrenner and
Mims and behind the gym.
While you are making plans to come gather up
your fancy duds and if you are lucky you might win
the Best Dressed contest with cash prizes offered to
both male and female. There will also be a variety of
qther contests such as root beer guzzling tobacco
spitting egg toss greased pig hairy legs and the
winner of the beard growing contest will be an-
nounced. If you are planning to go with your favorite
someone now's your chance to swing them over to the
marriage booth. On the other hand if things don't go
over too good you can swing over to the dunking booth
and let out your frustrations. More events will be
presented at this time by different classes and
organizations.
A bar-be-que dinner will be served outside Veda
from 5 -6 p.m.
Then a SUB concert featuring The Shoppe will be
held at Mims starting at 7 p.m. Following the concert
will be Nearly Nothing Goes (NNG) sponsored by the
Junior Class. NNG has many events for the different
classes and campus organizations and provides a
friendly competitive atmosphere. Cash prizes will be
awarded to the top three winning teams.
Keeping the Western Day atmosphere SUB will be
sponsoring a John Wayne movie "Chisum" Saturday
night.
A bill passed in Student
Association senate Tuesday
night which will extend ab-
sentee voting for elections to six
days prior to an election. The
bill sponsored by junior senator
Ted Miller passed
unanimously.
One of Miller's reasons for
extending the periods is
because of mission trips and
other activities which would not
allow a person to vote absentee
because absentee voting is
presently held only on the day
before elections.
In other action senate tabled
a bill because it was uncertain
whether or not an amendment
should be made to the standing
rules or the constitution con-
cerning hours for eligibility for
cheerleaders. Senate did not
have the minutes of the last
meeting due to the absence of
Jan Matetzschk secretary and
senators were unsure where the
motion should be placed. The
amendment would read that a
cheerleader must have com-
pleted 30 semester hours at the
end of the semester when
elected to be eligible for the
position.
Opinion surveys passed out in
chapel two weeks ago have been
tabulated but Freshman class
President Frances Dzienwoski
and Senior Class President Dale
Edens wanted to check some
things out before they released
their results. The Yellow Jacket
will have a complete report of
the results in next week's
newspaper.
