Hopefuls Want
Senate Change
BY JUDY G ALLMAN
Crimson Staff Writer
SGA presidential candi¬
dates Jim Etheredge and
Judson Jones agreed this
week that the main issue in
the campaign is the revamp¬
ing of the structure of the
senate.
Jones is a junior majoring in
history. He is presently SGA vice
president. In his work with the
senate this year, be has been doing
research on a program to rework
the senate "along a vertical, in¬
stead of a horizontal system."
His proposed change allows for
representation from the residence
halls, the fraternities and sorori¬
ties, off-campus students, graduate
schools, classes, and law and phar¬
macy schools.. The senate as a ma¬
jority said that they felt these
groups are all represente ! in the
present system and requested that
he continue to do work on the
change.
Etheredge is a junior English
major and captain of the debate
team. He is in favor of eontinu-
ing "to look into the possibility’" of
a change, but he feels that there is
a need for "a proposal more feasi¬
ble than those which have looked
into.”
He does not feel that “the ad¬
vantages would justify the disad¬
vantages.”
Another question Jones brought
up was that of student discounts.
He said that if some executive
backing could be given to this, it
could be gotten with little trouble.
The merchants have been "very
receptive" to the idea, he added.

The annual appearance of
signs, posters, and cards
leave no doubt in one’s mind
that the SGA elections are
here again.
In fact, as the elections
near, it seems that everyone
on campus is running for
some office.
Sixty-six Samford students will
have their names on the ballot
for 31 offices in the Student Gov¬
ernment Association general elec¬
tions next week. The race will de¬
termine four executive offices in
the SGA— president, vice presi¬
dent, secretary, and treasurer—
as well as class officers.
The position that went unop¬
posed last year, presidency of the
SGA, has two contenders this
year, Jim Etheredge, presently
junior class president, and Judson
Jones, now SGA vice president.
Neal Wade is the unopposed
candidate for SGA vice president.
He was the first in recent times
to succeed himself as class presi¬
dent — having been freshman
class president and now sopho-
ттгге
class president.
Jack Wright, a soohomore sena¬
tor, and Linda Crawford, a junior
senator, are opposing each other
in the race for secretary of the
SGA. The treasurer race has Jer¬
ry Gallups, Edwin Bagley, and
Jim Huskey pitted against each
other.
There is also a three-way race
fer senior class president. All of
the candidates have had previous
experience in Samford politics.
Larry Jennings and Dale Vinson
are now junior senators, and Bob
White served as vice president of
his freshman class.
Allen Hill and Paul Richter are
battling it out for the vice presi¬
dency, while Jerry Lee sits calm¬
ly by, unopposed in his bid for
treasurer.
The seniors will find themselves
in a slight predicament with no
one running for secretary. The
student who was . running unop¬
posed withdrew, leaving the can¬
didacy vacant.
The feleven seniors running for
the six senior senate seats are
Leigh Thompson, Oscar Lamb.
-Nancy Adams. Ken Hall. Jarry

for class secretary, Janet Roten-
berry, Judy Segler, and Debbie

dates. Contenders are Charles J.

the the larger dorm will be for
men, if more females apply, then,
of course, it will be for women.
“The cost of living in these resi¬
dence halls will be $157.50 per
semester for women and $152.50
per semester for men.”
The rooms in that# residence
halls will have the same acousti¬
cal soundproofing as motels. Each
room will have an individual air
conditioning unit and there will
be carpeting throughout.
The overall size of the rooms
will be 12 feet by 20 feet.
Designated to accommodate three
occupants, each room will have
three study desks and a private
bath.

areas.
The smaller dorm will have one
study room, one vending area and
one utility area.
