Judicial commiHee
On December 19, 1968, the Judicial Committee met to discuss the invalidation of the elections of December 18, 1968. Through the persistence of D. Jess Ashcraft and Ed Gladys in regards to Jackeline Frost for Christmas Queen, the Judicial Committee issues this warning of negligence of conduct to both of them. A large amount of embarrassment was brought to the candidates for Christmas Queen. There (sic) actions were unnecessary and uncalled for. If these individuals try to disrupt the coming spring elections, recall charges and disciplinary action will be taken against them . Bill White Judicial Commissioner
Panic resulted and the council adjourned for the holidays vowing to slash further expenditures on their return. At last Monday's meeting, however, the dust appeared to have settled and the new plan is to make no cuts at this time, but instead to try to bring remaining outlays in line with the budget.

The works of sculptor John Rogers form the current show at the Dwight Boehm Gallery here from this week through Jan. 28. Mr. Rogers, an associate professor in the art department at San Diego State College, is especially known for combining ancient monument and tombstone forms with modern images to create dramati-satiric memorials to civilization and present-day society, said Russel Baldwin, gallery director. Sculptures by Rogers have been exhibited in many one-man shows throughout California and in other states. In addition, he has been affiliated with outstanding galleries in New York, Minneapolis, La Jolla, Houston and Los Angeles. The present exhibit here is entitled '.'John Rogers---Monume nts," and is free for public visits from 8 a. m Menfree for public visits from 8 a.m to 9 p.m Monday through Thursday, to 4:30 p.m Friday, and 10 a.m to 2 p.m on Saturday.
(Ed. note: On December 18 elections for the Christmas Formal Queen were held . Due to e lection irregularities they were invalidated and held two days later . In response to the incident, this letter was submitted to the ASB Council.)
Much to their dismay, the committee discovered that this year's budget was running some $6 0,000 over what was expected.
When asked how the deficit came about in the first place, White said that there was no single area of responsibility, but cited Focus magazine as an example of the type of overspending that, all told, resulted in the $6 0,000 red mark. "We had budgeted them $2 ,000 and they spent $2,200. It's all just nickel and dime stuff but it adds up."

reprimands students
Any group of human beings can only sustain a condition of panic for a short period of time; even the ASB council. Just prior to the holidays, the council, hoping to get an early start on next year's ASB budget, named a committee to begin analyzing income and expenditures of the Associated Students.
Budget committee member, Bill White, commented t ha t the prevailing attitude was that "the money will come from somewhere and that the deficit will quietly go away and die."

Currently the controversial speaker policy is under study by several c om mittees on campus . An ASB committee and an ad hoc committee of the Faculty Senate are revising the policy.
specific persuasions or a contr overs ial topic. The new policy presented by the ASB says that a speaker of the opposite viewpoint m ay be pr ovided but is not mandatory .
The ASB controversial speaker committee is the first to come up with a revised policy which was presented to the ASB Council for ratification Monday. The Council passed the revised policy and sent it to the Faculty ad hoc Committee.
Another change in the policy would move the power of enforcem e nt to the Inte r- Club Council. Commenti ng on this change, judici al c ommis s ione r , Bill White, said t hat the ICC is t he group that approves the speaker s s o they s hould be the ones who seek info r mation about the speakers.
Presently the policy states that no speaker or topic shall reflect upon citizens of the United States of Ame rica because of their race, col or, or creed nor shall advocacy of propaganda (iminical to the welfare of the United States of America or its elected officals) be permitted.
Action on t he policy was spur r ed when the Peace and Freedom Club moved to bring a Black Panther on campus to speak. Under present r e gulations it would be impossible for a s peaker such as a Bl ack Panther to spe ak.
The policy also has a c lause which states that a speaker of the opposite viewpoint be provided for the purpose of providing a balancing viewpoint if t he topic of the original speaker has
In refe r e nce to the newly pr oposed speaker policy ASB president, Kim Clark said, "I want it made absolutly clear that under this new policy, the campus will be open to hosting a ny speaker unless his presentation is s pecifically against state law.~
