The Tripod, March 18, 1975, Page 9 Editorial At Lost on Issue At last Trinity College has an issue. For the past month MBUG has been trying to sell its Spring Weekend to the College. Being presented with the all-or-nothing Scylla-Charybdis choice presented to us by MBOG, the Tripod supports the principle of such an activity;" but bear in mind that Spring Weekend is not an "eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we may die," activity, wnich is the at- titude that the heralds of doom would have us take. No, rather Spring Weekend has the possibility of unifying the College in a spirit, not of selfish indulgence and blissful unawareness of the world crises around us, but of good will toward our campus neighbors. If we as students cannot relate to our fellow students in a familiar environment, then we cannot possibly hope to confront the entire world, looking for all the world like giant killers. Attempts to raise social consciosness at Trinity are indeed admirable; but without learning to provide a platform of basic human relations on which to build an outreach then such attempts assume an almost holier-than-thou attitude. Erroneous Sources An editorial appeared in this column last week concerning an alleged misappropriation of funds by the Student Activities Commitee. Unfortunately for us, however, some of our facts were erroneous, causing ill feelings on many sides. To these groups and to you the reader, we owe an apology. Whereas MBOG was "conditionally" granted a large sum from the SAC contigency fund "subject to final approval" in the words of SAC chairman Larry Golden, THAP has also been given some funding. Their funds are for operating expenses, however, not for educational lectures, seminars, and the like, as we , were told by an ill-informed THAP member. In fact, THAP never asked for such funding. The portion of the fund request that was turned down in December was for mailing costs, an expenditure the SAC thought wasn't a good use of the SAC Or America Today contigency fund monies.
