4#.
FOLLOWING several conversations
with the Student Senate on April 8,
1970, representatives of the Student
Senate requested that the decision to
deviate from the traditional examina-tion
schedule be reconsidered.
In line with that request and
during the April 8, 1970, meeting of
Division Charimen, Student Senators
Jerry Beckler, Joanne Opsahl, Larry
Weber, and Roger Damgaard, met
with the Division Chairmen to present
the point of view of the Senate and
discuss the issue.
Further, and in line with that re-quest
and during the April 14, 1970,
meeting of the Faculty Council, Stu-dent
Senate President Jerry Adams
met with the Council to present the
point of view of the Student Senate
and discuss the issue.
In conclusion, it was the decision of
the Division Chairmen and the Faculty
Council to return to the traditional ex-amination
schedule. The resolution of
the Faculty Council included the re-quest
that inasmuch as the traditional

Senior Prom this Saturday evening.
The banquet will be at 6:30 p.m.,

Dr. Richard Cinclair, director of stu-dent

examination schedule is not completely
satisfactory the matter receive further
study. Dean Clarke is requested to
appoint a committee composed of rep-resentatives
of the faculty and the
Student Senate to study this issue and
to make recommendations to the Dean
of Academic Affairs.
Thus, it is announced that an ex-amination
schedule will be prepared
and publicized. From the lengthy dis-cussions
certain guidelines were sug-gested
and the examination period
May 25, 26, 27, 28, will reflect sug-gestions
to include:
1. Strict adherance to the schedule
by both faculty and students which
means testing outside the schedule will
be permitted only for night classes
and in the area of physical education
where the teaching area will be used
for testing of large groups.
2. Student dveiations from the sche-dule
will be permitted only for military
obligations and when the schedule de-mands
four or more examinations in
one day.
and the prom will portray the England
scene. The entrance to the ballroom
will be through the gates of the palace
and changing of the guards. The dance
area is Picadilly Circus and the fire-side
room will be transformed into a
pub and a fish and chip shop.
All juniors and seniors have been
invited to the banquet and prom and
are allowed to bring guests. All juniors
and guests planning on attending the
banquet must buy a ticket at $1.50
at the Business Office by April 20,
1970.
ON MAY 7, 1970 a panel of three
judges will choose a new Miss NSC.
Preliminaries will be held on April 27,
in which the 29 contestants will be
judged on the basis of their talent
and interviews with the judges. After
the preliminaries the group will be
narrowed to eight girls who will vie
for the title.
The girls will be judged on the
basis of talent, beauty, poise and per-sonality

The cast isn't the only enthusiastic
group — the directors of the play,
are too. Richard Norquist, drama di-rector
and stage director, feels that
"Anything Goes" is an extremely fun

by centering each scene around a

the musical directors of the production.

(Note: The following is a news release
from the Peaceful Power Coalition that
was submitted by that group.)
THE PEACEFUL Power Coalition
has been formed at Northern to spear-head
a drive aimed at giving students
a representative voice in Northern's
governing.
To accomplish this change in policy,
the PPC is running a slate of candi-dates
for Student Senate Officers in
the May elections. The candidates on
the slate are John MacLaren, Aber-deen
sophomore; Dave M. Johnson,
Sioux Falls junior; Pam Van De Ros-tyne,
Aberdeen freshman and Ron
Sumption, Aberdeen freshman.
The PPC plans also to seek out
candidates to run for the Senate posi-tions
available in the fall, to help fur-ther
the strength of dedicated Senators.
The Coalition is presenting a platform
to the students, which they feel is more
than the petty games previously used
by candidates, and is truly meant to
strengthen Senate and the students.
The Coalition proposes that:
I. The student Senate or the student
body should have the power to over-ride
the veto of the college president,
Faculty Council and Board of Regents.
A.) A three-fourths (% majority of
all Senators voting in favor of a motion
to overide a veto shall cancel the
veto.
B.) A majority of two-thirds (2/3)
of all students voting in an election
called to present the question of over-riding
a veto shall cancel the veto.
II. Dorms: A Dorm Council should
be established to govern all activities
of and make policy for all dorms.
A.) Representatives shall be elected
from all men's and women's dorms.
B.) The AWS should relinquish all
control over dorms and dorm policy.
C.) No new dorms should be built
on Northern's campus.
III. After discussing the booklet
availability with President Baumgart,
we find the present program of releas-ing
booklists to be economically fea-sible
and beneficial.
The Coalition explained the points
of its programs as follows:
"The capacity of Student Senate or
the Students to over-ride the veto,
means that if a large number of stu-dents
favors action, they can initiate
this action and not be thwarted by
one or a half dozen persons. The veto
of these people is a holdover from the
age of divine right monarchs, and
should be replaced with a more demo-cratic
form of governing. The percent
of student Senators needed to over-ride
a veto is set large enough, that only
an issue very much in demand of the
students would produce an over-riding
vote."
"On the dorm plan, the Coalition
slate explains that, "To effectively
govern the existing dorms on Nor-thern's
campus, it is necessary that a
uniform and written code be establish-ed
for all dorms. This would allow a
dorm resident to know what was ex-pected
of him, and thus not be har-rassed
by dorm counselors or others.
The establishment of a code by the
dorm residents themselves, for hours,
visitors, rooms, food, noise, and all
areas of dorm life should help ease
tension. It is also necessary that AWS

McPartland, Conde junior, spon-sored
by K-Mates, doing a dramatic
reading; Lynnette Johnson, Redfield
freshman, sponsored by MENC, sing-ing;
Cathy Johansen, Custer freshman,
sponsored by McArthur Welsh HA,
singing.
The contest will be held in Dacotah
Hall May 7. Admission will be $1 for
adults, and $.50 for students with
activity ticket.
be totally relieved of all hold on the
dorms at Northern, as they fail to be
responsive to all the girls. AWS should
spend its time working for all the
girls, and their interests and let the
dorms govern themselves.
"Northern does not need any more
dorms on campus; the college was
forced to 'conscript' boys to fill Jerde
Hall this fall, and the problem is only
going to get worse. What we really
need is more classrooms and better
equipment. The money could much
better be spent to hire more teachers
and pay better salaries to attract a
higher quality of teacher and produce
a better education. Most pepole will
choose a college on an academic basis,
and not whether it has an excess of
dorms to live in."
In commenting on the third point of
their program, the PPC candidates said
that, "The college bookstore is in
common knowledge, a State monopoly
on text books, with little or no com-petition
ever available. We feel that
if Courtney's or any other stores up-town
were provided with the text lists,
that a better price on texts and paper-backs
could be found by the students.
Rather than paying $1.50 for a $.95
paperback, the student would get it
at another store for $.95. Rather than
paying $10.95 for an $8.95 text, the
student would save two dollars for
other expenses. Rather than being told
that he must wait until a week after
classes start to exchange a book, the
student could get an immediate ex-change
and be ready for class and not
have money tied up in useless books."
"It's about time that this college
was run for the students, and not for
the administrators. We are the ones
here for an education and we and
our parents pay your salaries, yet all
we hold is a flea-sized voice in how
this college is run. It used to be that
teachers and administrators were hired
for the students, now it seems that
students are molded to fit the teachers
and administrators. It is time for the
representatives of the students to truely
represent the students before the ad..
ministration of the college.
"If you want someone who will rep-resent
you, vote in the officer elections
in May. If you sit back and don't take
two minutes to express your wishes as
far as a slate is concerned, then you
deserve a Senate administration such
as the one now ending. Your vote is
the only way to have student control
of their own governing programs and
policies. What we want most is for
you to vote and show everyone where
you stand; what you want as a student
and who you think can best represent
your interests as a student.
