An estimated $300 will be rescinding a $750 allotment, making another $500 summer banquet for its members. However, the SGA recovered by the SGA through sales of this food. appropriation conditional, and denying a $300 request outright. The first bill, sponsored by senator Tara Shevlin attempted to disallow $750 granted, during the March 16 session, to five students currently interning in Nashville. Shevlin's bill was prompted by newly-elected SGA President Charlie Grant who vetoed last week's $750 spending action. Grant, later withdrew his veto, opting instead for the move to rescind, "only because I believe it to be both the fairest and easiest manner in which to resolve this matter without controversy," Grant said. Shevlin made the motion to rescind since any move to revoke previous legislation must be sponsored by a senator who had voted in favor of the bill in question. Many of the senators who previously voted for the $750 allocation later changed their positions due to the SGA's tight budget. These senators also felt that $750 was an inordinately large sum to give to such a small number of students. During debate on the issue, President Grant stated, "As representatives of all the students we must consider what will be best for most, not just what would be very good for a handful, or relatively speaking, good for a thimbleful." In other action Tuesday, Senator Charlotte Stallings offered a priority motion calling foi the rescinsion of $500, also appropriated the previous meeting, to the Sequoya Review tocover the expense of printing color photography. Stallings accepted .\ friendly amendment to this motion stipulating thai the money should be rescinded only if the process of printing the magazine was not already underway. Tin' amended motion passed by a vote of 10 h. Later investigation disclosed that printing had begun, and the bill was therefore nullified.

All textbooks currently in use, along with reference I looks, test guides and trade books, are in the annex. When the summer term Starts, summer texts will also be stored in the annex, Rendleman said. He explained that everything had to be removed from the old section of the bookstore into the new for remodeling, and that there was not yet enough room for books and supplies. He chose to move the books out so that a person buying one pen wouldn't have to wait in line behind someone buying a stack of books and writing a check. Rendleman said that the bookstore office studied students' buying habits, and this seemed to be the easiest way to divide the merchandise. Rendleman stated that he does not anticipate any problems with students buying books for the first summer term. As soon as the books are on the shelves, he said, he will notify the students in order that they may buy early and at their leisure, avoiding the first-day crowd. In the summer, he added, fewer books are needed and there are fewer students, thus making the bookstore less crowded.
