Chappell brings new ideas to ASG scene By Erin Thien Both old and new faces will be entering the Associated Student Government scene when the recently elected officers and legislators take office in early May. One of these old faces is presidentelect Steve Chappell, who previously served as chairman of the executive cabinet. New faces in the cabinet are Sheri Dolan, vice president and Kerin Essex, treasurer. Chappell is already making plans for the coming year which include bettering communications, advance planning of events and improving the ASG card packet. "First I want to get my cabinet together. What we need is 10 people who are willing to work, instead of the usual 15," stated Chappell. Advance planning of activities and communicating these plans will be one of the major concerns of the new cabinet.
"This past year the main mistake of the ASG was waiting until the last minute to plan and prepare for an activity. We will try to plan well in advance, so everything will be laid out and run smoother," said Chappell. Homecoming is one area where Chappell is already planning events. "We want to make Homecoming a better success than it has in the past. During the summer all the plans will be made, so in the fall we will know what will take place. So far, I have been thinking of having a semiformal dinner and dance the night before for the candidates," said Chappell. As chairman of the executive cabinet, Chappell worked on adding more benefits to the ASG card. This resulted in one of the best sales campaigns in recent years. Chappell plans to continue along this line. "We will continue working on
bettering the ASG card packet. We are now starting to get feedback on the buying power card. We soon as we get a corn plete list of the merchants we will publish it. Until more cards come in, we are trying to get the merchants to give discounts to ASG card holders." Chappell also plans on improving the by-laws and keeping the ASG office open longer. With a more informative government as his goal, Chappell would also like to see the Disneyland trip as a standard activity and more discount programs for all students. "Overall it was a very interesting election," said Chappell. "Going by past records, the turnout was good, but it can be much better. The total was doubled over last year. I think all the people who ran and those who voted should be congratulated because they showed a real concern for their school." Uncertain how things will go next
year, Chappell hopes for more representation m the student legislature. "This year's legislature was too conservative with money. Not that they should spend all of it, but some things that were really needed were not bought," he commented. "Also, the legislature didn't represent the student body as it should have, imd this caused trouble in the functioning of student government. There were a lotofpersonal grudges, but the legislature still should have shown respect for the office," added Chappell. As for next year, Chappell feels a great responsibility to the entire student body. "I hope everyone elected realizes the responsibility we have to the whole student body and not just to some selective clubs. We have important positions as student representatives and I hope everyone keeps that in mind," he concluded.

'Weelc of Young Child' scheduled Sex stereotyping in young children will be the subject explored on campus, April 20-22 during the "Week of the Young Child." The observance of the week, April 16-22, is a time set aside both nationally and at the local level for re-emphasizing the rights, the needs and the well-being of young children. Dr. Diane Ehrensaft will speak on the subject "Sex Role Stereotyping in Children's Development" Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Union. Dr. Ehrensaft. who earned her Ph.D. in Social Work and Developmental Psychology, is from the School of Education at UC Berkeley. She is concerned both with the effects of sex role stereotyping on the development of children and with some of the solutions or tactics which educators have reached. Dr. Ehrensaft recently said, "We have discovered that differential treatment of boys and girls has been, in some instances, stifling to healthy social and cognitive development of both sexes. But we have also often settled for some very obvious but superficial solutions give boys dolls and girls trucks and all will be well. Put girls and boys in the same gym class and we've got the problem licked." "My talk will demonstrate that such tactics, while important, are not enough. As people involved now or in the future with the socialization of young children, we need to address some very fundamental questions: Do adults interact differently with boys and girls? If so, how? and why? What are the effects (Continued on page 8)

Their United States debut was made at New York's Carnegie Recital Hall in 1974. The quartet's extensive repertoire includes 11 works by contemporary Canadian composers, several of which were commissioned especially for the quartet. The Palomar concert will include Quartet in G Major, Op. 77 #1 by Haydn; a quartet written for the Purcell String Quartet by Elliot Weisgarber; and Beethoven's Quartet in B flat Op. 130. Since 1972, the Purcell String Quartet has been quartet-inresidence at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia. According to a San Francisco Chronicle reviewer, "The Purcell Quartet is the best thing that's happened to the concerts in some time ... so wonderfully matched to each other; there is no weak link among the four." Admission to the concert is $2 for the general public or $1 for Gold (Photo by Dave Hightower) Card holders and students.
