"There are people who want to
use Winter Park like a
grapefruit... squeeze it dry and
then discard it. This is what I think
is the main issue" Dr. Jerome J.
Donnelly of the English dept. said.
"I saw my hometown of Ann Arbor
deteriorate beyon : repair because
of a failure to respect the wishes of
the people. I don't want to see it
happen here."
Donnelly, who brought his wife
and three sons to Winter Park three
years ago, is currently running for a
seat on the Winter Park City
Commission. One of his opponents
is John Brooks, a student at FTU.
Brooks' candidacy seems to pose no
special problems for Donelly who
says he has seen no "real signs" of

The pre-registration referendum

campus, Lasseter said that he and
seven members of the judicial board
had found ATO guilty of violating
Students Rights and
Responsibilities section 4, Personal
Abuse, which says, "Verbal abuse
of any person, including Lewd,
indecent or obscene expression or
conduct, on university premises or
university-related premises is
prohibited.... "
ATO was also found guilty of
actions proven detrimental to the
rushing of Delta Delta Delta
Sorority; guilty of actions
detrimental to the Green unity and
Greek spirit and guilty of actions
proven to be against general IFC
policy that all rush functions are to
be in good taste.
The judicial board recommended
that ATO be placed on restrictive
suspension with no fine for 10
weeks, which would deny the
fraternity the rights of social, rush,
intramural and pledging activities.
The Presidents Council Tuesday
altered the recommendation by a
three-fourths vote to allow ATO to

A nearly 5-month dry spell for
funding of FTU clubs and
organizations was ended last week
when the Student Government
Senate passed two "milestone"
pieces of legislation.
The first, Student Senate Bill
5-5, will put $3,000 in a "Student
Government Clubs and
Organizations Account." This
money, according to SG President
Steve Adamick, can be obtained
quickly and easily by clubs who
need office supplies or have other
simple operational expenses.
The second bill reserves $12,000
to be used for "inter-university
programming." "This bill," said
Adamick, "is intended to insure
that large sums of money will be
spent only on projects that will
affect or involve large numbers of
students on campus."
Citing SG's past record of
spending for club programs,
Adamick explained, "We have
consistently made the mistake of
expending large amounts of money
on projects that were for only a
very small group. Huge capital
outlay expenditures during the last
year for the MAX Clean Air Car,
the Village Players theatre group
and the FTU Broadcast Club are
prime examples of this."
The old legislation, Statute 3-69,
clumped the process of operations
and programs funding into one
unmanageable process, the SG
president said.
"Under the old system,"
Adamick said, "club requests for
small amounts of operating funds
were tied up often for weeks
because they had to go through the
same complicated process of
approval and allocation as the large
outlays for programs or equipment.
We have done away with this old
system with probably the two
fairest pieces of legislation ever
written, five times speedier and the
perfect compromise between no
funding and funding to the limit."
Club funding, by no means a
new issue at FTU, first came under
scrutiny earlier this year when
former SG President Frank Santry,
in a effort to stem the tide of
uncontrolled SG spending, outlined
a program that never passed the
planning stages.
Santry originally sought to force
clubs to seek matching funds from
their associated departments for
any funding granted by SG. This
proposal met with such opposition
Santry dropped it in favor of a
program which required clubs,
organizations or individuals to
devise campuswide projects which
would be funded on a quarterly
basis.
Each club or group would have
to compete with others for a
limited amount of funds. Only two
or three major programs a quarter
would receive SG aid.
Neither program made it
through the senate, but in
anticipation of the necessity for
some   new   legislation,   Adamick
Correction

and candidate in the Winter Park
City Commission race, is not an
ultra-liberal as reported in the

should have read that Brooks is
an ultra-conservative.

called a halt to club funding in June
and told clubs it would not be
necessary to submit early budget
requests under the old system.
"This is mandatory that we
come up with some new program
that would allow clubs or groups to
get funding at any time. Had we
left the old statute in effect, no
club could have gotten funding this
year," Adamick said.
To get around problems -that
might come up, Adamick
explained, SG may take care of
large capital outlay requests by
purchasing equipment from its own

Leaders Requirements Set
Three requirements have been
recommended for student
leadership or responsibility in any
campus student government group,
organization, publication or campus
activity, according to Dr. W. Rex
Brown, vice president for Student
Affairs.
These requirements were
recommended by the Student
Eligibility Committee, comprised of
Student Organization Coordinator
Jimmie Ferrell, Assistant to the
Dean of Housing T. K. Wetherell
and Assistant for Student
Development Lynda Lotz. The
committee    reviewed    current
requirements    before    submitting
their recommendation.
A memorandum for Dr. Brown
quoted the recommendation as
saying; "To be eligible for any
position of leadership or
responsibility in any recognized
student governing group,
organization, publication or activity
on campus, a student must (a.) be
enrolled for a minimum of nine (9)
hours each quarter and be a
degree-seeking student (b.) have a
cumulative GPA and FTU GPA of
at least 2.0 (c.) not be on academic
probation or disciplinary probation
which is a matter of record ...."
The recommendation continues,
"If a student does not meet
eligibility requirements and believes
his ineligibility is caused by
circumstances beyond his control,
he may submit a written appeal to
the Student Eligibility Committee
to hear and rule on any appeal."
The Office of Academic Affairs?
has concurred with the
recommendation, and the change is
effective immediately. Brown also
said that one student representative
will be added to the membership of
the committee.
