Heated debate will be re-umed tomorrow night when he Senate convenes to con-ider the dead-but-not-buried lue Key Senate reorganiza-ion plan.
The plan, which would ave cut Senate membership rom 47 to 13, had its heart ;Ut out last week when a
i.ve Moscowitz revision was passed eleting the amendment which 7culd have cut the membership.
However, Unity's presidential can-idate Jack Shaffer will introduce ew amendments which in effect "ill bring the proposed slash in membership back on the floor for ebate.
GUP MAKES KILL
Shaffer's charges that GUP “bosses’’ were responsible for killing the Blue Key plan were vigorously denied by Al Wiggins. Blue Key president and GUP nominee for ASSC president.

A military man usually doesn't like to be hemmed in by the opposition, but this time it looks as if the colonel is getting a big kick out of the whole proceedings.

j Jack Shaffer. Unity candidate : for ASSC president, yesterday la-! beled the four points of GUP Can-i didate Al Wiggins’ program as covering fields in which Wiggins has been “inactive and ineffective.”
“In answer to his first point, I would ask what he has done in the ; area of student recruitment prior to his campaign,” Shaffer said.
Wiggins’ point No. 1 promised a recruitment program to get high school graduates to enter SC.
“Secondly,” Shaffer said. “What has he done in student orientation, j especially1 in the newly-inaugurat- ’ ed AMS Men’s orientation?”
Wiggins advocates an orientation ; program for all first-semester students.
Regarding to Wiggins promise to expand student activities to enable maximum participation, Shaffer asked:
“Why was Wiggins’ plan to reor-ganize the student Senate killed by j his GUP backeis?”
In his fourth point. Wiggins promised to work toward interesting students in alumni activities.

Lines, Color Unique in Class Roorm
Founders hall, the new LA» building will be open for student tours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today.
Students who view the structure will see the latest in classroom color design, construction, and equipment.
Color in the $1,000,000 building is used to enhance an atmosphere of study, engineers say.
Rooms in the eastside of the structure are light green. Those on the west side are tan. The green will strengthen weak morning sunlight, while the tan softens the bright rays of afternoon.
Chartreuse, purple, and rust are also used in the halls and auditoriums.
Floors are of asphalt tile, and the ceilings are covered with accous-tical tile. Even the walls of the auditoriums and lecture rooms are covered with specially prepared ac-coustical plaster.
Tours will visit some of the 32 class and seminar rooms, 3 lecture rooms, and 2 auditoriums.
