drafted Resolution SR 4-5 which takes
an official 'No Confidence* stand and
states that President Baxter, 'in failing
to fulfill the legal responsibility of his
off ice, has tost trust, respect and ability
to deal with university problems."
Said Robin Saghatelian, senator-at-
large. and one of the authors of the
measure, 'The AS needed to take a

Baxter has shown a lack of, initiative in
meeting student needs for leadership,
trust, and involvement.
With over two months spent in its
preparation, the passage of Resolution

good of the campus '

Mrs. Lola B. Ownensby and Dr. Rhrta
Flake, whose five sections of dance

ballroom dancing where couples are a
must, this is posing a problem.
According to Owensby, all classes
will be coed, despite the separation of
