Nurses’ Activity Council Banned
By Clubs During ICC Monday Meet
Knights Fire
Parking Head
In Swift Act
Jay Gianotti Appointed
New Traffic Director;
Change Follows Semester
Glen Widdows, senior, was noti¬
fied Thursday by members of the
Intercollegiate Knights, campus ser¬
vice organization, that he would be
relieved of his job as parking di¬
rector, a post he has held since
October.
Succeeding Widdows in the posi¬
tion will be Jay Gianotti, senior.
The parking director handles as¬
signment of individual stalls on
campus and metes out fines for cars
parked in the wrong places.
In reporting the change,
Ж
Pres¬
ident Ralph Greener, senior, stated
that Widdows' appointment was on
a one semester basis. The decision
was made Wednesday at a regular
bi-monthly
Ж
meeting. Widdows
was not present.
A Thursday session of the As¬
sociated Student Body executive
council confirmed both the dismissal
and the appointment of Gianotti to
assume the post.
The Intercollegiate Knights have
had overall control of campus park¬
ing since the ratification of a new
student body constitution last May.
They receive 20 per cent of the
money collected from fees and fines
and return the remainder to the
student body treasurer.
Gianotti has announced that he
will not change the general policy
initiated by Widdows but will set
up a more intricate filing system
and appoint a larger committee to
assist him.
Faulty Constitution and Undemocratic Procedure Reasons
Offered for Outlawing of Group
Amid a furor of discussion and debate during a Monday evening meet
of the Inter-Ciub Council, the “boom was finally lowered” on the lone
campus club not accorded recognition, when a motion was passed stating
"that the Nurse’s Activity Council of the college of nursing immediately
disband and c ease to function as a student organization because it has
not lived up to the standards which will qualify it for membership in
Glen Widdows
. . . fired.
Jay Gianotti
. . . hired.
the ICC.”
The motion was adopted after the
club council, under the chairman¬
ship of Bob Herndon, senior, stu¬
dent body vice president, learned
that the NAC constitution did not
meet ICC requirements and that the
government was being conducted
on an undemocratic basis. As of last
year, the college of nursing has
been incorporated into the Asso¬
ciated Students of Portland, and is
now governed by student rules and
regulations.
Sy Rocen, senior, student body
president, stated “Until the NAC
can be reorganized on a democratic
basis, and until it can conform with
ASUP rules and regulations, it will
be considered an ‘outlaw’ group by
student government and will receive
no recognition or news coverage
from the student council, the Log or
the Beacon. This ruling will def¬
initely be enforced.”
The NAC is organized on the same
principle as the student government
at Portland, but witli incorporation
into the ASUP last year, its status is
now similar to any campus club.
Unlike Portland’s governmental set¬
up, however, the NAC pass in judge¬
ment on students brought before it
concerning infraction of rules.
Clubs represented at the Monday
meeting, who voted on the question,
include the Intercollegiate Knights,
Musicoeds, Engineers, Business Ads,
IRC, Biologists, Monogram club,
Spanish and Languages club, Bar¬
risters, Upsilon Omega Pi, Boarders,
Drama, Young Democrats, Alpha
Psi Omega.

Final count on donations received
for the “Mt. Hood to Middlebury”
ski fund campaign reveal that con¬
tributions fell short of the $2709
total needed, it is reported from
Portland’s athletic office.
Letters soliciting donations were
sent to some 15,000 alumni and
school benefactors several weeks
ago. The funds derived were to be
used to send the Pilot slat team to
Vermont to participate in the Mid¬
dlebury College Winter Conference
Ski tournament.
Portland’s ski squad will partic¬
ipate in an alternate tourney, how¬
ever, attending the 12th annual
Reno Winter Carnival on Mt. Rose
near Reno, Nevada, today, tomor¬
row and Sunday.
Last season the Pilots, in their
first year at the Reno carnival, al¬
most walked off with top honors
against the country’s finest skiers.
A margin of 2.3 points separated
them from the winning University
of California team.
