SENATORS SHOT IN MEETING AS RIOTS ERUPT TWICE
}\ Two independently framed “Fanatic’* attacks on ASSC senators last night turned a very “dry” meeting into a torrential riot.
An early attack took place during roll call as three local “fanatics” broke up the meeting midst cries of “Viva Puerto Rico!”
Most critically wounded was Senator-at-Large Bill Van Alstyne who suffered from water on the bram as , “fanatic” Ann Odin opened up point blank with her water pistol.
“Fanatic” Kirk Dickens blasted Independent Men’s Representative Murray Bring who suffered deep chest wounds. His shirt was drenched with the gory H20. Before Bring went down for the third time, he cried, “I’ve been shot.”
The third “fanatic,” Bob Gerst, attempted to “assassinate” ASSC President Warren Clendening, but his barrage of fire ricocheted and splattered two or three insignificant senate members. However, “fanatic ’ Ann Odin managed to blast Clendening at close range, but luckily, she shot him in the head, and no damage was done.
Van Alstyne’s last words echoed across the chambers as he cried, sinking fast, “Quit that?”
Nancy Mispagel was only half-shot.
The second attack came from an obviously separate “fanatic” faction, as two cloaked figures dashed into the chambers at 8:40 p.m. Their attack was directed at Clendening exclusively as “fanatic” Bob Hildenbrand and “co-fanatic” Alan Carpenter peppered Clendening in the face and chest, shouting, “Clean the school government!”
Bud Dimock, valiant supporter of the present administration, assuming the president was “assassinated,” “committed hara kiri” with a firecracker blast that rocked the chambers.
The unprecedented attacks in the Senate Chambers were suspected to be an aftermath reaction of the “wetback” problem. The “fanatics” of both factions were immediately apprehended and put under the custody of the Department of Water and Power.
APhiOs to Meet Candidates Today

'Fanatics' Raise Havoc in Senate
by Susie McBee
A spirit of cooperation prevailed over the Senate Chambers last night despite two water-tight Interruptions as so-lons unanimously approved a motion to set up a committee to investigate the possibilities of forming a new orientation class. The serious business was interrupted twice by two
independently organized water-pistol attacks on the solons, emulating the Monday outbreak in the United States House of Representatives.
The motion, introduced by Rodger Darbonne, junior class president, called for the committee to look into the proposed class and report its findings within two months.
Co-author of the proposal Bo Jansen said the course would foster interest in the problems of the University and would stimulate interest in student activities, which in turn would make for a more active alumni.
Specific Tasks
“You will note,” he told the senators, “that this motion gives the committee specific tasks to
perform and sets a time limit for
the investigation.
“Committee members will decide on who will take the class, its cost, number of units, exams, objectives, its teacher, the size of the class, how often it will meet, and when it will be taught” Jansen and Darbonne had indicated previously that the class would be a one-unit course compulsory for freshmen and transfers entering SC at the junior level or below.
Jansen pointed out that the final plans for the course would ba decided by the seven-man committee, which will have three ASSC senators, three members from the University Senate of administration and faculty, and one alumni representative.
Day of Prayer
Other Senate action, which was effected in a short time and mostly by unanimous vota, included approving motions to have SC observe International Day of Prayer tomorrow and to endorse “Project Middle East.” Senator-at-Large Jerry Blank-inship moved to have students stop for one minute of silent meditation at the beginning of their 8 o’clock classes tomorrow.
He said that for more than 10 years Americans have observed the first Friday of Lent as a time to think about improving world conditions.
Students and professors will take the time at their own volition, he added.
SC Crusade Joel Fischer, student director of the “Project Middle East,” and Marguerite Cooper, international relations major, told senators that 12 SC students will visit countries of the Middle East on a “crusade for democracy.” Fischer emphasized the fact that the student mission is asking no money irom the university.
The only questions about the project were raised by Bob Jones, School of Architecture president. He wanted to know who would determine the participants in the project and if the men travelers would be exempt from the dralt.
11 Countries Miss Cooper explained that there would be no draft problems and that the 50 students working on the project have set up a five-man committee to choose the “good will ambassadors.”
They will travel through 11 Middle East countries and will talk about American life and problems.
Since SC students will go to the Middle East this summer and since that area plays a big part in world affairs, Senators agreed to give it half of the 20% allocated to World University Service by the Trojan Chest drive. Send 10 Per Cent This means that WUS will send 10% of the Chest funds to universities in the Middle East.
Freshman President Chuck Leimbach defended his amendment to the bylaws, which would delete the section providing for the election of freshman yell leaders.
Then, for the first time this year the Senate dissolved itself into a committee of the whole, which does not follow parliamentary procedure. ASSC Vice President Bobette Bentley presided.
The committee decided to re-i port its discussion back to the Senate proper in the form of Senator-at-Large Jerry Baker’s motion, which was passed unanimously:
“I move that the ASSC disapprove the tick%t office’s allocation of only 600 tickets per night for this weekend’s basketball game. The ASSC strongly recommends that the office allots 1000 tickets to activity book holders should the series extend to Monday night.”

We ran into a little confusion, announced the Squires president. We’ll iron out all the details at our weekly meeting this afternoon, he said.
“The money made by the Squires on the project will go mostly to the Trojan Chest Fund,” Gerst said.
“Fun on a Budget” will contain $125 worth of entertainment and activities for only $2.50. Advertisers representing theaters, skating rinks, fight arenas, and many other forms of fun have merged in a publicity campaign at a small cost to the buyer.
