Senate Faces
Lively Session
By Mary Alice Allen
Emerald Staff Writer
, The University's first senate
meeting of the year tonight may
' prove to be a long and lively
I session if the expected major
issues come up for discussion.
Ten items are on the agenda
with attention expected to center
around a committee report on
freshman orientation week Ma
! jor point in the report will be a
| discussion of methods of financ
j ing the week, which was handled
by Associated Women .Students
this year.
Formerly, financing of this
week and of the Ore-nter was
financed from the pre-freshman
week fund, the major portion of
which is derived from the $5
rushing fee freshman pay at the
beginning of each school year.
Thought Unfair
Many students on campus, in
| eluding several of last year's
senate members, felt this method
was unfair because it put the
financial burden of the pre-fresh
man week fund on only a few
students.
Last spring term the senate
: voted to finance the Ore-nter
from the Student Union-Educa
tional Activities fund. It is ex
pected that a move to finance
Orientation week in the same
way will be made by ASTJO
president Bud Hinkson at to
night’s session.
If such a plan were approved
by the senate this would seem
the added expense of orientation
week would be removed from the
pre-student fund. More of the $5
nish fee would revert back to the
houses through Panhellenic and
the Inter-fraternity council.
Opposition to financing orien
tation week in tips way could
come from some of the members
of the senate who feel that the
educational activities fund should
not finance any additional cam
pus events.
Seating at Games
Another issue will be a report
from the rally board, ar.d seat
ing at games will be discussed.
A vital point concerns married
students who wish to sit with
their wives or husbands.
In other business the senate
wiii hear a series of reports and
elect a homecoming chairman,
junior class vice-president and
junior class representative.

Barnett Speaks
On New Guinea
Homer Barnett, professor of
anthropology, delivered the first
Browsing Room lecture Wednes
day Qn New Dutch Guinea, where,
he said “the 20th Century in
fluence of the Europeans comes
in contact with a stone-age civili
zation of the natives.”
Barnett centered his talk
around the problem that faced
the Dutch in colonizing the west
ern half of New Guinea.
Although in 1828 the Dutch
annexed Dutch New Guinea, Bar
nett said, “it wasn’t until the
1930's that an expedition pene
trated the mountainous heart
land of the country. Except for
two lake regions in the interior,
the central part of the country
and the Southwestern coastal re
gion are uncontrolled by the
Dutch administration.”
Barnett said Dutch New Guinea
was an economic liability for the
Dutch government, but, he ex
plained, the Dutch cling to New
Guinea because of national pride.
Barnett spoke of the diversity
in the life of Dutch New Guinea.
