This Afternoon to

The ta3k of applying the finish
ing touches to the council consti

choosing a senior student to mem
bership on the student publication
board will be the main items to
come up for discussion at a meet
ing of the Student council this
afternoon. The session is set for 5
o'clock at 111 University hall and
all members of the group are
urged to be present according to
President Bob Kelly.
These two matters have been
under consideration for some time
and definite action is expected to
be taken on them when the coun
cil members meet this evening.
The remaining work on the consti

to secure more adequate enforce

whole, and to make clearer the
problem of general administration.
