BOB JORGENSEN NEW PRESIDENT OF
SENIOR BOARD OF GOVERNORS
On October 9th tension and discussion were prevalent all
over campus, for this was the day to elect the Senior Board
of Governors. All seniors attending S.U.A.T.I. voted for their
class members, who would represent them in their last year
of college.
The results were received this
evening of the ninth, and the
winners were announced at thai
time. The 1957-58 representa-tives
of the senior class are as
follows: Bob Jorgenson, Presi-dent;
Joe Triola, Vice-President;
Carole Berger, Secretary, and
Art Curtin, Treasurer.
Other members are Ken Der-by,
Jim Connely, Jim Brady and
Charlie Watt.
Carole, Joe, and Bob served
in the capacity of representa-tives
of the Freshman class last
year, and the rest of the board
are newly elected to this posi-tion.
The senior Board of Gover-nors
carries on many functions
which play an important part
on campus. They run the senior
store which is located next to
the recreation hall, and is open
every evening between the hours
of six and ten. This year they
added a new counter and refrig-erator,
which will allow them
to sell many more items than
they have in the past. This
year will also find the inaugu-rating
of coffee hour which will
be held from nine to ten. These
same people will run the snack
bar at Homecoming, and hold
free dances for all seniors. Last
but not least they give the
Senior Prom, which is by far one
of the most important functions
in the senior year.
Last year as the Freshman
Board of Governors they held
Freshman weekend, which prov-ed
to be one of the most suc-cessful
events that year.
With this tine representation,
we're sure that this year will
surpass all others socially as
well as educationally.
Business Students
Take Field Trip
The T S A students visited
Brookhaven National Labora-tory
Friday, October 11, taking
advantage of the first field trip
offered to them this year.
The laboratory located in the
middle of Long Island, is a
small city in itself. The size
of this laboratory would amaze
the average person, for the word
laboratory suggests but a small
building in which research of
some kind is performed. The
TSA students soon learned that
soft, comfortable shoes were the
success for a pleasant day.
Tours were held through
Brookhaven all day, and visit-ors
were able to roam through
all the buildings of this labor-atory.
The most visited spot
seemed to be the Atomic Pile,
which was so big and compli-cated
that most of the people
just stood and gazed at its ce-ment
walls, while their thoughts
searched for a knowledge of
atomic energy.
Movies and lectures made
clearer the uses of atomic en-ergy,
and they also received
more common subjects as Bio-logy
and Chemistry.
All students who visited this
laboratory are richer in their
conception and knowledge of
science and its functions.
B. C. Ball To Be
Fabulous Success
The B. C. Ball, which is spon-sored
by the American Insti-tute
of Architects, will be held
at the Elks Lodge in Hemp-stead.
It will be one of the
biggest social events of the year.
No-one can afford to miss it.
The dance will be held in the
Hall of the lodge and music
will be supplied by that great
five piece band^ "The Half
Beats" which will be accom-panied
by a lovely young vo-calist.
Men, you can't miss this
opportunity.
Refreshments will consist of
Beer, Beer, and more Beer and
it will be free, too. There will
be as much supplied as you can
drink, meaning you.
Tickets are now on sale at the
Evening School Information
Booth, or they can be purchased
f r om any freshman or senior
member of the Building Con-struction
department.
Support your school! Bring
a date to the Elks, which is lo-cated
on Hempstead Turnpike,
November 9, and I guarantee
you'll have yourself a ball.

Student Health
Service Expanded
This year, for the first time,
our campus has enlisted the aid
of a registered nurse.
This nurse is situated on the
lower left side of the first floor
of dorm 1. She has a small of-fice
with an emergency room
for accidents.
The nurse will be available
at the clinic during every day
session from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00
noon and from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
All students must secure clear-ance
from the school nurse be-fore
reporting to school doctors.
The doctors have been instruct-ed
not to receive students unless
they have been cleared with the
school nurse.
The nurse will also be avail-able
for consultation on indivi-

Good Will Bags
During the next few months,
the Institute Council of Clubs
in cooperation with the Nassau
County Branch of Goodwill In-dustries
will distribute Goodwill
bags to all students on campus
who are interested in helping
the Goodwill Industries.
Students can get their Good-will
Bags at the displays that
are being set up at different lo-cations
on campus. For the
benefit of those students who
are living at school, bags are
being placed in the Dorms for
use by them.
Once the bags are filled sim-ply
call Goodwill Industries and
they will send a truck to pick
the bags up. ,
Goodwill supplies these jumbo-sized
(23' X 44 "), heavy-duty
paper bags for the convenience
of those contributing. These
bags are to be filled with cast-off
articles of clothing, shoes,
appliances and other items that
are no longer of use to the
owner.
Goodwill is a non-profit, non-sectarian
welfare organization.
It provides employment in spec-ial
workshops and training in
new skills for the handicapped.
Those who cannot compete in
industry are thus able to sup-port
themselves with dignity.
Others who may be able to
adapt to industry's pressures
are given the opportunity to de-velop
skills and learn trades
compatible with their handi-caps.
They are aided by Good-will's
medical, supervisory and
placement services.
Discarded clothing and house-hold
articles are sent to Good-will's
workshops where the ma-terials
are repaired and sold
by the handicapped. Through
such contributions, Goodwill has
grown to be self-supporting to a
substantial degree and was, last
year, 90 per cent self-supporting.
Goodwill Industries continu-ously
seeks discards of all kinds.
Most valuable to them are
clothes, shoes, electrical appli-ances,
toys, furniture and books.
The number of disabled men
and women who Goodwill can
t r a in and employ depends upon
the amount of repairable ma-terial
contributed by the public.

THE MORE TRAINEES AND

we
have selected a Queen and it
appears the custom will become
a regular feature of our Fall
Show on t h e Farmingdale
Campus. All the student organi-zations
held preliminary tryouts
from wich this year fourteen
finalists participated in the last
judging. An impartial group
of local citizens, chapter mem-bers
and college representatives
selected Doris Jackson and her
two attendants. The Queen was
crowned at the opening cere-mony
and was to reign through-out
the show. Five of the final-ists
were Gerri Johnson, Carol
Broming, Karen Solonen, Garna
Beck, Linda Soresse and Doris.
The final judging was held in
the hangar at 5:15 p.m., Thurs-day,
October 3.
The gifts given to the Queen
consisted of a gold watch and
some costume jewery presented
by the courtesy of Jewels by
Trifari. All the girls received
flowers and refreshments at the
contest, and all the contestants
were thrilled.
The chrysanthemum s h ow
turned out very well, but the
weekend was marred by the
tragic accident. Among the
many flower exhibits was a spe-cial
"Ode to Autumn" which had
fifteen classes. Each class was
made up of chrysanthemums in
varied colors and iin different
arrangements to signify a dif-ferent
meaning. Several of the
arrangements included '"Winter
Comes" which is an interpretive
composition featuring w h i te
chrysanthemums. Another ar-rangement
Halloween was a
buffet tablesetting suitable for
the season.
