REPORT November 13 and 20r1962 Editors Note: The following is ..a ..report ..presented ..to S.G.A.C. by the Investigating Committee which sampled student opinion concerning the possible reorganization of student social structure. This problem has been the main point of discussion at the S.GA.C. ..meetings ..held ..No- vember 13 and 20. After spending much time sampling student opinion on campus concerning the proposed reorganization of the campus social strucure, we have found the student reaction to be overwneimirglv negative. After sampling only some twenty per cent of the the opinion has been as least three to one Men s Dorm Named The new mens residence hall has been named CARLESON HALL for the Salt Lake automotive families headed by Fred A. and Harry E. Carleson who have been investors in Westminsters future for many years. The Carlesons purchased $23, 0(H) of furniture for the new dormitory. A plaque will be hung in the lobby of Carle-soHall to acknowledge this contribution. The Carlesons have been acquainted with Westminster for several years. Harry A. Carleson has served on the Board of Trustees since 193G. The title announcement was made by Dr. Duddy who said, We are delighted to name this latest addition to college facilities in recognition of the many years of devoted service of the Carleson n families. Carleson Hall is the second structure, completed in the last, three years of the ten year development program. against the proposal, and the reasons are all basically the same. The question of how these groups are to be formed was one that we faced constantly. This was a basic flaw in the proposal as the students did not want to be divided We rncountered the feeling that this would result in a loss of class identity and competition, as well as individuality. It has been hoped by those proposing this plan that social pressure would stimulate the interest of more people in the activities of our campus. How ever, the predominant feeling here is that a small group of interested students belong to all of the different interest groups on campus and that social pressure will not, and should not, serve to force participation of those who are not interested. On the other hand, the students were almost unanimous ly in agreement with the fact that this student apathy, lack of school spirit! call it what you may) is very definitely a problem at Westminster. When we asked for other possible solutions to this problem, a small minority favored bringing in some national sororities and fraternities on the campus. Others felt that the existing social structure could be altered in order to stir up interest. Although we sampled only one-fiftof the studentbody, our conclusions that feel we are definitely accurate. We tried to be very impartial at all times during this investigation and feel that we were successful in doing so.

I was going to visit Mr. Ray Allred (head of the SS), but I couldnt borrow a flashlight. So I went to visit Dean Robinson (it was D. Y. O. B.). Thanks for the cookies and candy you sent me. Actually, I didnt really taste them. Homer Ng ate them all. One of the foreign kids here (from California) walks around all day giving people the hex sign (also known as the mummy's curse). When he walks into the pool room, students begin to cry. A small hex, you see, is powerful enough to cause you to miss your shot. A large hex will turn you fat and ugly. Only Jim Ray has escaped unmarked. I can't say anything bad about SAGA anymore. Certain people take offense (strange that you let them read my letters). So Ill just mention what was served for Thankswithout any giving dinner comment: Synthetic turkey and mystery pumpkin pie. Please send more money in your next letter; I lost what I had on Floyd Patterson and Richard Nixon. But this time I picked a winner. Im betting on Bob McGarvey in a decibel contest. Well I have to go now; its time for the student lounge to open, and I dont want to break my record of perfect attendance. Your son, Grundig P. S. Mummy's curse!

The Senate differs from the House in that it does not make a complete change every two years, but elections are staggered every six years. The Democrats had 43 holdovers, the Republicans eighteen. These holdovers do not come up for election until 1964 or 1966. Thirty nine seats came up for grabs this year and the Democrats rather than losing seats (the traditional rule about the party out of power gaining seats applies to the Senate as well as the House), made significant gains, and even defeated sornfr of the more powerful Republican incumbents such as the upset victory of Blrche Bayh Jr. over the strong Republican Senator Homer Capehart. It was expected that the Democrats would retain majority control in the Senate, (the only way the Republicans could have won control was of the by winning thirty-threthirty-nin- e seats, virtually impossible considering the Democratic power in the Southern States), but it certainly was a surprise that there would be so many upsets. The Democrats gained four Senate seats November sixth and strengthened their control In the Senate. Both parties agree that it was a major Democratic victory. President Kennedy was more than pleased with-thresults of the election and well he should be, for with a stronger Democratic Congress the Chief Executive stands a better chance of getting major legislation through and strengthening his political position for 1964.

Yet, even without such an international crisis, the Democrats probably would have maintained majority control Of course this is purely speculation. In the election of a new House of Representatives the Democrats held their own in most areas of the country, and two of the House seats that were lost to the Republicans were in the State of Utah. It must be Iemembered that tills was the year of reapportionment, and the Republicans fared much better than the Democrats in dividing up the districts. Because of the New York lost one Democratic seat. Kansas also lost one, also Democratic, and other States registered some loss in representation. Even though the Democrats suffered defeat by the census they made considerable gains in the States that added Congressmen. For example, in the State of Arizona, the Demos won the new House seat. In California (which gained the most new seats) the Democrats at the time of this writing appear to b winning at least of the new Congressional seats. Interestingly enough, the reapportionment did not hurt either of the political parties for each partys gain or loss was countered by the other party. In fact the House of Representatives of the 88th Congress remains almost the same as the 87th with some edge given to the If the House remained almost the same, the biggest surprise was in the Senate.

Concession speeches have been made. The smoke has cleared, and the posters are coming down. The general election for 1902 Is over. In certain area Democrats were elected, other areas claim Republicans as vktors. The 88th Congress breaks down as follows: in the House, (a new one is elected every two years), the Democrats elected 259 representatives, the Republicans elec toil 170. The House remains Democratic, because 216 representatives constitute a majority. This was not a surprise to the political experts, but it was a surprise that the Republicans than they had in the previous Congress. Traditionally, the political party out of iower in an off year election makes definite inroads in the House and sometimes may elect a majority.
