SG debate ends with vote Bv JAMES SULLIVAN Staff Writer The SG Executive Board was in an uproar Sunday night over the membership of Mary Ellen Martin, senator from the College of Educa tion.

Sherri Bq nbers off kill ] Boa An atmosphere of anticipation fil led the air at the annual Friends of the Library student collectors con test award presentation. The presentation, held Friday af ternoon, featured speaker, Lon Tinkle of the Dallas News talking on the faults and fancies of the book critic. Some of the faults he spotted were critics drawing attention to themselves and not their subject, serving as their publisher’s prop agandists and allowing snobbery in the book world. The book should be reviewed while still on bookstore shelves. Tinkle said. They should be held as records for achievement and con tain the purity of language. Books, Tinkel said, are personal because they can be approached at one’s own tempo, with one’s own criticisms, with one’s own mind in communion with another’s. The second part of the ceremony was the awards presentations. Graduate awards, $100 donated by Fred White and Thomas E. May went to Bay C. Telfair and Dawn Trouard Thomas, respectively. Telfair’s collection dealt with or nithology and Thomas’ with litera ture with emphasis on F. Scott Fitz gerald. The Booner H. Barnes and Louis H. Hartung $100 awards went to Carol Moore for her collection on government and Bill Shearer for lit erature by three Texas authors. The final $100 award went to Key Mer chant for his collection on East Af- ricana. His award was donated by W. Guy Shown. I VIM Embrey’s Jewelry j We Specialize In A^rgie Rings.

Paint, wallpaper, and sundry supplies COME SEE US from the College of Education. Officially, she was disenrolled from the college she was elected to represent. She stayed in the Col lege of Liberal Arts for the two and a half months. Martin has registered again with the College of Education thus keeping her double major. The issue at hand was whether or not to allow Martin to remain as senator of the College of Education. The SG constitution states that a senator must be “representing his constituency at all times. Debate was hot and sharp over whether Martin had violated this regulation by being registered in a college other than the one she was elected to represent. Martin said that the Constitution was not set down clearly enough as what “representing his constituency at all times’ meant. Steve Eberhard, SG president, agreed, say'ing that the big question was wbat constituted membership. Several officers disagreed on the underlying issue. John Nash, vice- president of external affairs, locked Judicial Board to review election The SG Judicial Board will dis cuss the possible voiding of the con stitutional amendments included in the Nov. 14 student elections. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in room 504 of the Rudder Tower. The six amendment corrections, on the ballot, are being contested by' senior Douglas Winship. SG President Steve Eberhard said the reason for the amendment changes was “parallelism between parts of some of the amendments. Winship stated in his brief that a notice of election was not placed in. “The Battalion. The University Rules and Regula tions state that the election will be "announced in The Battalion’ at least ten (10) class days preceding the election.” horns with John Tyler, vice- president of rules and regulations, over what Nash said to be a case of punitive action versus corrective ac tion. Tyler said that the matter was a case of enforcing the existing regula tions if there had been any infrac tion. Nash said since Martin had regis tered back into the college she was sleeted to represent, there was no iced to remove her from office, ex cept as a form of retroactive punish ment. Curt Marsh, vice-president of fi nance, said that any action taken against Martin could not be called retroactive, since Martin registered back into the College of Education after the matter was brought up be fore tbe Executive Board. Discussion ended with a vote of 4 to 3 allowing Martin to remain as senator of the College of Education. In other business, Campus Chest funds odUected at the TAMU-Rice trame Saturday went to injured TCU football player Kent Waldrop, who is paralyzed from the neck down. Marsh said the Aggies donated over $2,()()() Saturday for the injured play'er.
