The SG Executive Board was in
an uproar Sunday night over the
membership of Mary Ellen Martin,
senator from the College of Educa
tion.
Martin, an education major,
switched to a psycology-education
double degree plan that required
her to register with the College of
Liberal Arts. Since students can be
registered in only one college,
Martin’s records were removed

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.

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

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 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.
