Vol. XII, No. 10 Friday, May 12, 1967BUTTE, MONTANA

In a recent opinion poll conduct-ed by the Amplifier staff, studentsWere asked the following questions.1. Do you think the ASMT StudentCouncil convocations are effectiveor useless? 2. What might be doneto improve them?

Of the thirty eight students re-SPonding, twelve felt the convoca-tions were effective and required nochange, eleven felt the meetingsWere ineffective and required con-siderable change and improvement,and fifteen felt they were generallygood but could be modified in someways to increase their effectivtness.Those who felt the convocations

Were effective stressed the pointthat student issues and the workingsof the Student Council could bebrought out into the open for betterunderstanding and more participa-tion. Some of the positive responsesare given below.Hank Scholz (ASMT President):

"They are effective because thestudents get a chance to voice theiropinions."Terry Angove (ASMT Delegate) :

"It promotes interest within thestudent body more than the regularmeetings, which very few studentsattend."

Pete Knudsen: "They're effectivein that the Student Council can findOut the students' opinions concern-ing the various issues, and also thestudents can learn what's going onWithin the Student Council."Bob Chebul: "I think they are

gOod, especially since they are heldin the SUB so everyone can par-ticipate."

Clark Walters: "The studentspick up interest in the school and itsproblems when they go to thesell1eetings."Joanne Comstock: "They do a lot

Or good. Without them none wouldbe well informed enough to voteconscienciously."Some students felt the convoca-

tions were useful, but theY)expressedconcern about poor student partici-Pation. There were also commentsabout the organization of the meet-ings and the topics that should bediscussed. A few of these commentsare listed below.Dave Nneebone: "They are effec-

tive toa few. The students merely

show up because everything else isclosed up. They are a step in theright direction, but we must get theinterest of as many students as wecan, which I think is next to im-

possible."Bill Poli~h: "They are effective,

but not to any degree that theyshould' be. We should have meet-ings more often to keep the stu-

dents' interest alove.'Karen Novack: "I

serve a useful purpose,think enough kids participate."

Bob Norine: "I think we shouldall get together and better organizethem, I think they should keep thetopics within the framework of the

discussion."Mike Finnegan: "I believe the

meetings could be very effective if

everyone would get behind the Two from TechCouncil and its meetings instead ofcriticizing them. They would be a to' present po perslot more interesting."

M-Day officially commenced witha lunch served by the CopperGuards' in the SUB. Following themeal, students and faculty attendedthe Kangaroo Court in the Gym.Kangaroo Court' judges were HankScholz, Bill Robinson, and Carl.Swanson. The prosecuting attorney(who never lost a case) was JimLoomis. 'Helping the prosecutionwas the defense attorney, Bob Sei-del. The jury was composed of sen-iors.

Before court proceedings began,~he fitness of the jury members wasdetermined by the popular "hugtest," with Gail Robbins and CheriThornton handling the technical as-pects. The court then proceededwith serious business.

Professor Herndon, after beingconvicted of playing with tinkertoys, was sentenced to build a tinkertoy bridge in the center of the Gymfloor. Convicted of card-playingduring the lunch hour, Professors (McCaslin, Marshall, Finch, and Dr.Holverson played a quick game to

Tech (aptly played by GeorgeAnnThurston), the Board of Regentswas convicted _of cruelty and mis-conduct and sentenced to receivesevere handslaps.

Convicted, of excessive drinking,Gary Carison, Ed Nordquist, JohnSutey, and Jim Franklin were sen-tenced to drink jars of a less intoxi-cating liquid - distilled water.

The Sub-Vocalizer, a person cov-ered with a white sheet to remainanonamous, was promptly convictedof all charges and stoned with a bar-rage of empty pop cans by the jury.

To end the court proceedings on apleasant note, Miss Wegner playedand sang several German songs asatonement for her strictness in herGerman class.The Kangaroo Court finished all

business when it presented plaquesto Dr Ensley and Professor Hern-don on behalf of the seniors forbeing their most helpful and influ-en tial instructors.

During these activities, a run-offelection was held in the SUB until4:00 p.m.

M-Day was concluded Wednesdayevening with a dance sponsored bythe Copper Guards. Music was fur-nished by The Radical Five.

Leifer edges Duran by one votefor ASMT Presidency in run-off

On May 3, the election of StudentCouncil .mernbers and a vote on aconstitutional amendment were held.A record turnout of 73% of the stu-dent body elected only one personwith a majority, Terry Angove -asVice President. A run-off electionwas held May 10 to select the re-maining Student Council Members.

In the May 3 balloting, Dan Piaz-zola was eliminated from the racefor president while Mike 'Duran andJim Liefer went to the second stageof balloting. Terry Angove, runningagainst Dave Fenton and JavidNourjah, was elected Vice Presi-dent. Gary Carleson and Bob Hutthad a lead over Jody Mee for secre-

tary. John Fargher, Doug Meseroll,and Steve Sands were eliminatedfrom the competion for delegateswhile Jack Hartz, Dave Kneebone,Kay Lear, and John Sutey advancedto the run-off ballot. The constitu-tional amendment was passe-d.

The May 10 balloting gave JimLiefer a one vote victory over MikeDuran to become next year's ASMTPresident. Gary Carlson was electedSecretary, while Kay Lear and JackHartz were elected Delegates.

Pertaining to the publications ofthe "Subvocalizer," one of their ar-ticles' states that the students don'tcare about their school. I agree be-cause if they did care, they wouldbe willing to contribute to a schoolasset, the Amplifier, rather thanmake their own publications. Criti-cism is good if you're ,"man" enoughto make it constructively. I feel thatthe "Subvocalizer" doesn't do this.

Usually at least two years ofGerman or a Romanic language(French or Spanish) are offered atMontana Tech. For those studentswho. plan to transf~r to other col-leges, they should check well in ad-vance what the foreign language re-quirements are, if lany. Our own en-gineering students who plan to worktc ward advanced degrees should an-ticipate the language requirementsby getting started in French, Ger-man; or Spanish. Hopefully, SOOI1,we may add Russian.

April Student Council meetings011 Wednesday evening, April 5,

the\ student council held a meeting inthe SUB. All officers were present.The minutes of the preceding meet-ing were read and approved.

A motion was passed that the girlswould handle 'the hose used to cleanthe' campus on M-Day, supervisedby a few senior boys. A motionwas also.passed in favor of a boosterclub to sell all-season tickets to' thealumni for all athletic activities. Themoney from these tickets would beused for scholarships and other pur-poses.-Following a discussion about the

election of the editor of the news-paper, it was suggested that a pub-lication committee be formed to' electthe editor. Further discussion waspostponed, however, until an openmeeting could be held.

A motion to make the M-Daydance, sponsored by the CopperGuards, a mixer instead of a datedance was passed. Mr. Burt thengave the financial report for thecouncil.

It was also moved, seconded andpassed to' give Mrs. Lucille AIt $100for the speech tournaments. Themotion to obtain a new piano. forthe SUB was also passed.
