Terry Dugan, Student Senate Treasurer, stressed that the Campus Finance Com­ mittee meets every other Tuesday in the Senate Office and any club with a planned budget proposal can petition for funding at this time. The 10 voting members of the C.F.C. then decide if the request is valid. Dugan does not feel any pressure to dole out these funds, explaining that every club's demands are evaluated very carefully. He feels that the excess in funds can always be carried over into the next year if need be. This allows the C.F.C. to have a little more flexibility when alloting money. Student Senate President Kevin McAleese recommends any club that has a need, to submit proposals to the Finance Committee. He says he is very concerned about this ex­ cess for if it is not utilized this year it will be carried over and seniors, who also pay $80 a year, will not benefit from the money. These funds, McAleese believes, if used wisely, will promote a variety of interesting activities on campus. He thinks this would be good for it would allow the students more opportunities to get, involved. He said, "I can't stress it enough — this money should be used." Any clubs that have a need should submit their proposals to the Campus Finance Committee. Their next meeting is December 12.

By JOHN MOORE Staff Writer Big Dom introduces the original unexpurgated The Siena College Hockey Club will present a guest speaker, former hockey coach Ned Harkness, at its rally on December 9 in the George Foy Campus Center. Harkness, an extremely controver­ sial figure in area hockey, is noted for his uncanny ability to develop high-powered collegiate hockey teams. He coached win­ ning teams at RPI and later moved on to Toga Cornell University, where his 1969-70 team won all 29 of its games and a national championship. Harkness has also coached on the professional level. During the 1970-71 season, he earned the job as coach of the Detroit Red Wings. However, the enthusiasm which Harkness brought with him from the collegiate ranks was IWo- not as well received on the professional level. Disagreements with then general manager Sid Abel, injuries to key members of the team, and discontent among the players led to Harkness' release as coach.
