Senate President Mizerk not By Ian Schmitz Student Senate President Don Mizerk announced at the January 22 meeting that he will not seek another term as president. Also, FAB presented the report on a budgetary inquiry on the Wesley-ana, which started controversy that continued at the February 5 meeting, and many senators commented on a recent "Gadfly" article in a Senator Speak-Out. Mizerk began his remarks at the first senate meeting by quot-ing from an article on the Student Senate that recently appeared in National On-Campus Report. He said that he was "very proud" of senate's accomplishments with entertainment, SWHR, and media and called his term "a fantastic learning experience." But Mizerk then said that he would not seek another term and in-stead looks forward to "new and different experiences." DURING HER treasurer's re-port, Genevie McKeithan presen-ted F.A.B.'s budgetary inquiry on the Wesleyana, along with four proposals. Acacia senator James Gungor objected to one proposal, which stated that last year's Wesleyana editor, Donna Rekau, should have her account charged for the amount that the Wesley-ana went over budget. Gungor called the proposal a "great mistake." Ferguson senator Jessica Curtis disagreed how-ever, saying that it was "time people were made responsible for their actions." Sigma Chi senator Tim Brophy questioned whether a discussion of the amount charged was ap-propriate and asked whether the Dean of Students had been con-sulted about the legal ramifica-tions of such a charge. McKeith-an said that a copy had been sent to the Dean. Dean Swichtenberg said that he would have to read the report before he could issue a statement, saying "It would be presumptuous at this time to dis-cuss what we would or wouldn't do."' Gulick senator Kevin Maffet said that Rekau should have been fired and that it was "not right to charge her now." McKeithan said that "once she had accepted the budgeted amount, it was her re-sponsibility." TKE senator Dave Lautz (also on FAB) clarified by stating that the bulk of the Wesleyana prob-lems came from increased charges on color pictures that were submitted four months past deadline. Melissa Packard, cur-rent Wesleyana editor who was acting Media commissioner in Greg Ohlendorf's absence, said eeking re-election that "no one could approach her ed for a motion to be made to get [Rekau] until February 1, the the minutes of the FAB meetings first deadline," and that she was, to the senators.

The program will be at 11 a.m. in Westbrook Auditorium of Presser Hall. Adato will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. A 20-year veteran of public television, Adato won an Emmy in 1968 for outstanding achieve-ment in cultural documentary for the first film she produced and directed, "Dylan Thomas - The World I Breathe." She had joined WNET, New York, four years earlier as film co-ordinator and associate producer. She gained added prominence with the first national television series to recognize women ar-tists, focusing on seven Ameri-cans. She also directed a series of films about Mary Casset, Helen Frankenthaler and Georgia O'Keefe. She won numerous awards for the latter two. Another Emmy nomination was given for her film portrait, "Picasso - A Painter's Diary," which she did in France and Spain, where the artist lived and worked. It included his own words with comments by family members, close friends and childhood companions. Two of Adato's films will be shown before her appearance Feb. 14. They are "Georgia O'Keefe" and "Frankenthaler - Toward a New Climate," which will be shown Feb. 9 and 10, respectively, at noon in the A-V room of Sheean Library and again at 6 p.m. in the Turfler King to speak on racism By Randy Miller Donahue shows, and a one hour Dr. Charles King, Jr. will speak program shown in 18 cities. at Wesleyan on Thursday, Feb.

Growing up in New York City, Adato studied acting and worked on the stage and on radio and television for a time. She became restless, wanting somehow to reach more people and to teach them as well as entertain. The medium that captured her in-terest was documentary films. As she likes to refer to this new direction in her life, "I created a field for myself." She persuaded organizations to use documen-tary films as educational tools. She had done some dramatiza-tions of social issues for com-munity groups, so she worked with social organizations. Later, when the United Nations wanted someone to put together an inter-national catalog of social welfare films, Adato stepped right into the job. Aided by her many con-tacts in Europe, acquired while working for the U.N., she formed the Film Advisory Center in New York, which helped create a greater awareness and interest in such films. It was through the work of the Center that Adato in-troduced Jacques Cousteau's films to the United States in 1952. In 1954, she joined CBS (Colum-bia Broadcasting System) to pro-vide films and film clips for such programs as "Adventure," "Odyssey" and "Conquest." In 1964 she moved to public television. Hurrah!

The day's events begin with registration, a doughnut hour, button making, and pictures in the morning. Cartoons and a magic show will follow. After a buffet style banquet, the women's gym will be open for recreation. Also, siblings 10 years old and up may participate in jazzercise while children under 10 attend a story hour. The movie Herbie Rides Again will be presented in the late afternoon, and the day will end with a "make-your-own sun-daes" hour and an evening presentation of Star Trek II. T-shirts in royal blue with a gold design of a teddy bear and the Siblings Day theme may be ordered for $3.50 apiece. Orders must be made by February 14 to receive shirts on Siblings Day. However, Judy Piarulli, Siblings Day chairperson, said that orders will be taken through February 25 and should arrive 10 days later. Registrations for Siblings Day, accompanied by fees of $4.20 per sibling and $2.80 per student with a meal ticket, will be accepted through February 17. Cancella-tions must be made by February 24 in order to receive refunds.
