Apparently, nearly one-thir- d of those in attendance did not consider the question and answer period to be a chance to increase their knowledge, but rather a chance to stretch their legs and see how quickly they could truck il out of McGaw . regardless of the fact that the three lecturers for the evening were still on the stage attempting to conduct a forum. Many of those who left didn't even have the tact or grace to slip out quietly one by one. but managed instead to bring along eight to I Oof their closest pals. Now. while we're sure absolutely everyone who left early must have had pressing commitments elsewhere, it seems odd to us that students and faculty both manage to get through entire class periods without acting on the urge to run out the door 20 minutes before the bell rings.

Bartering on chartering The issue of chartering once again rears its ugly head in Campus Council: Here is the problem. Let's say you want to form organization X, to do activity Y. You decide that you want to put up a poster to see if anyone else is interested in doing Y on a regular basis. You also want to get a room in Lowry. because those rooms are really classy and are -- c.ix.nnd central location. Well, you can't. You don't have a charter. So, you decide lo go through the process. You decide to submit your Letters charter to Council on Friday. Charter committee meets the next Thursday to consider your charter, and then on Tuesday you get provisional status. You have waited 12 days to put up a poster. New angles on Greek housing Council needs to fix this problem.
