Luther Terry, and Dave Gentry comment on the favorable care that has been given the present lounges. They said that the lounges were well used. Each Senator made a report on the opinion of the students of his area on the Student Senate. Most of the stock answers were, “We don’t know anything about you,” and “You’re doing good work, but we feel that you could do more.” It was brought out rather force fully that the reason they didn’t know about the organization was because they hadn’t kept up with current happenings in The Bat talion. Culminating the discussion, Senate decided to have N Leatherwood, president, write an open letter to the Student Body to present purposes of the group. He will read it before the Student Life Committee prior to submit ting it to The Batt.
