SU Board Reports Flemming Upholds Tent Decision By JAQI THOMPSON Kmrruld Staff Writer The Student Union Board's de cision to allow the Peace Corps to pitch a tent on the lawn on the SU was reviewed and recon firmed by President Arthur S. Flemming, reported Board Chair man Jim Seat in the SU Board meeting Wednesday. Although all Board decisions are subject to a review and veto by Flemming, it is his practice to approve almost all Board de cisions. in this issue, however, which was narrowly passed last Wednesday in a 7 5-2 ballot after much debate, Beat fell a special review by Flemming was desir able. Most of the argument on the issue resulted from the Board’s lack of policy on such matters. There was precedent, however, from decisions last year which permitted a Peace Corps tent and a VISTA structure, but denied permission for a WUS (World University Service) Week struc ture. Denied WUS The Board denied permission to WUS as a result of complaints that the VISTA structure was un sightly and that the Peace Corps tent damaged the lawn. On the other side, the Board was criti cized us being inconsistent and unfair to WUS. The issue was a sore point last year, and sinco the Board still lias no policy, the issue is still touchy. There is also the question of where and if the Board can draw the line in granting requests of this nature. A committee is currently studying the problem and will draw up a policy as soon as possible. In other action Wednesday the Board agreed to "try to fulfill a request from the Inter-Fraternity Council to bring a special attrac tion to the campus during Greek Focus '66, and to allow IFC to publicize the event.” Denies Greek Bequest IFC President Warren Houston had asked the Board to co-spon sor a Righteous Brothers concert some time during Greek Week, February 27 through March 4. The Board, however, has a strong policy which will not permit it to co-sponsor a Special Attraction which it could acquire by itself through regular channels. The Rigrteous Brothers fit into this category. Another point in the policy states in effect, that the Board must look to its own interests first. Since the Board is negotiat ing for the appearance of the Ti juana Brass during that same week, this further prevents co - sponsorship. The Board felt, though, that the program planned during Greek Week including a Special Attraction, would be of enough benefit to the student body that the IFC merited its help. The wording of the motion allows the Comp Test Given The English composition test for education majors will be given from 2-5 p.m. Thurs day, October 27, in room 151 Education.

The Board also passed two rec ommendations: • One, to have a TV put in the SU Fishbowl election night. • Two, to connect a loudspeak er to the intercom system in the Fishbowl so announcements and paging can be heard over the nor mal conversational noise. The Board also passed a mo tion to change Room 309 in the SU from a conference room to an office room. The executive committee will recommend at a later date the organizations to get space in Room 309. The Board also denied a re quest from VISTA to place silk screened signs on pegs in the lawn along Hello Walk in front of the SU.

Free Flu Shots Offered Students The University Health Serv ice’s flu clinic continues today, and for the remainder of the week, between the hours of 8:30 and 12 and from 1 to 4 p.m. The clinic is being conducted free of charge to students, but there is a $1 charge to fac ulty and staff. Students must bring their student body cards. Health Service spokesmen say the vaccination is 80 per cent effective. The first three days of the flu clinic have shown “puny” results as only 900 students and 120 faculty members have been immunized. According to Health Service Nurse Coloma Douglas, the number of individuals receiv ing vaccinations has been stead ily increasing but the total is quite disappointing. Mrs. Douglas warns that if students have not had a booster shot within the past year they will need a series of two shots for full immunization. The Health Service has planned an other clinic later in the year. GUARANTEED ' WATERPROOF * TO ISO FEET 'DEPTH IN WATER SKIN-DIVER ALL-SPORT” , WATCH • Rutted.
