Special Senate Passes
ASG, NEC Membership
In a special Student Associa-
tion meeting called last Thurs-
day, SA President Roy Lowry
presented,,tjie senators with pro-
posals for .joining the Associa-
tion of Student Governments
and the National Entertainment
Council. Both proposals were ac-
cepted.
The ASG is a national organi-
zation of colleges and universi-
ties, and membership in it shouid
prove beneficial to Texas Wes-
levan as it will enable the TWC
student government to keep up
with the occurences and trends
of other colleges and universities
across the country.
Membership in NEC will mean
that TWC will be abte to receive
f^lms on the basis of payment
according to the number of peo-
ple attending. In other words, if
ten people attend, a percentage
of money according to ten people
will be paid; if fifty people at-
tend, a percentage according to
fifty people will be paid.
The ASG will have a conven-
tion in Las Vegas over the
Thanksgiving holidays. It was
decided in the Senate meeting
to send two representatives to
the convention )vith senate mem-
bers voting that an underclass-
man and a senator m.'.st go.
One person may embody both
stipulations.1
Applications for attending the
convention are due in the Stu-
dent .Association office by Thurs-

ieyan colleges.
Among the courses is "Urban
Problems." taught by Dr. Lee
Van Zant and Dr. Kenneth Street
of, Austin College and Professor
Ear! Brown of Texas Wesleyan.
Dr. Gross emphasized that a
great deal of planning proceed-
ed the actual operation of the
COSIP program this fall. Work-
shops involved both students and
faculty members from partici-
pating. .institutions. "One of the
unique characteristics of COSIP
is the use of students in' the
development of its courses and
programs." Dr. Gross explained.
The Texas WeSteyan dean said
that' COSIP's goals or purposes
are < 1) to Develop "computer-
e" as a modern language for
all students. (2) To expand the
science teacher training resourc-
es by use of outstanding profes-
sors from each of the participat-
ing institutions, and <3) To de-
velop a program by which lec-
tures, seminars and forums pre-
sented by visting scholars on one
campus would be made available
to students and faculty on .other
campuses via the television net-
work.
Larry Kitchens, director of the
Instructional Media Center, is
Texas Wesleyan's chief operator
and site representative for the
COSIP and TAGER programs.
Kitchens pointed out that the
large cone or antenna on Texas
Wesleyan's 85-foot tower is
beamed toward TCU's TAGER fa-
cilities, which pick^ up its sig-
nals from a tower in Arlington,
which in turn gets its signals
from the tower -in Richardson,
where TAGER headquarters are
located- The smaller cone is Tex-
as Wesleyan's transmitting
tenna.
Kitchens emphasized that
SIP will encourage increasingly
greater sharing of ideas among
facuity and students of the par-
ticipating institutions.
"Each college can have pro-
grams and courses on its cam-
pus that would not ordinassly be
offered." Kitchens said. "We
now have the facilities; the uses
to which we put them will be
limited only by our imagina-
tions," Kitchens continued..
Kitchens said that of the CO-
SIP institutions. Texas Wesley-
an is the only one that hafe spec-
ial production-type facilities.
'We are fortunate -to have these
outstanding facilities in a sep-
arate, new and comfortable
building," Kitchens said.

story structure is the Campus
Closed Circuit Television Studio,
■-''located at the building's east
end. It contains approximately
