Bjork backs Foose on gowns treasure hunt The issue of mandatory wear-ing of. gowns at graduation has been resolved through direct action by President Bjork. The president, overriding the objec-tions of College Council, has decided to appropriate the $3,000 requested by Dean Randy Foose for food and refreshments at graduation from Student Activity Fees. Previously, College Council had voted to withhold the monies until two conditions had been met by Foose. The first condition, which Foose acceeded to, was that the student speaker be free of any form of censorship. The second condition was that any senior who objected to wearing a gown,' at graduation be allowed to participate nonetheless. It was this second condition which was not met. Assistant to the president Ron Klepcyk stated he "had not discussed the matter with the presi-dent," when asked at Wednesday's Council meeting why the president agreed with Foose's regula-tion. When questioned further as to what measures would be taken to insure that graduates did not take off the robes during the ceremony, he answered that he did not know but hoped that if anyone did take off their robes that they would have something on underneath. Last year at graduation two security guards stood at the speaker's podium to prevent any attempt at disruption.

Whe was found to be an excellent speaker, and will'undoubtedly again contribute greatly to Stockton's cultural activities. Ms. Wellman will speak on May 23 at 8:00 in room F-209. Fern Court was the scene of a rally of 70 or more Stockton students Monday to protest what they considered the heavy-handed policies of Stockton's security forces. Called jointly by a group of students called the Student Action Coalition and the Student Syndicalist League, the rally was billed as a 'Sunshine and Light Festival'. The rally featured rock music by 'Island', a Stockton-based group, and kegs of beer. There were also four speakers who centered their comments on the need for protection of the rights of the people who live in the dorms. The speakers were from the Student Union, the Tenant's Rights Committee, the Student Action Coalition and the Student-Syndicalist! League. The incident which sparked the demonstration/festival was the arrest several weeks ago of two Stockton students on charges of destroying state property. The property in question was the lights which line the asphalt path along the dorms and the destruction consisted of the pointing of those lights. Students at the rally said that the painting of the lights actually enhanced the dorm area rather than harmed it. In any case, it was said, the matter should have been handled within the College instead of resorting to outside criminal action. At the end of the rally a list of basic rights for tenants was presented and forwarded to President Bjork for his reaction. The list was drawn up by the sponsors of the rally and, as of this printing, has yet to draw a response. . MBA program proposed Currently under consideration is a proposal by the Division of Management Sciences which would provide Stockton with its first graduate level program, a Masters of Business Administration. The proposal calls for a one year program which would enable 50 students afyear to acquire their graduate degrees. The proposal still has a long way to go before becoming a reality. Beside requiring the approval of the State Board of Higher Education, the proposal must meet with the approval of Stockton's own Board of Trustees. The plan will be considered at a meeting Monday, May 13, with a public hearing to be held by the board at that time. Opposition to the proposal has been based upon fears that the graduate program will tend to draw resources away from the undergraduate n--Trams at hte school. Also, some critics say, the presence of graduate program at Stockton will open the door to others, a 'eveiopment which would drastically alter the nature of the institution. Assistant to the Dean of Management Sciences David Spatalnick denies the valk. y of these criticisms. At a presentation before College Council Wednesday, Spatalnick stated that he felt the program would not in any way negatively effect the undergraduate program at the college. Though conceding the possibility that the MBA program might open the way for other divisions to develop graduate programs, he asserted that thsi could only benefit the undergraduate programs since the funding formula for graduate schools is much higher per student than for undergraduates. The program, if approved, is scheduled to begin in, September 1975. Speaker lauds rights at dorm demo Photo by Gort but to pubitoftod toy an Independent corporation licensed In Now Jersey
