Committee
Structures -
Union Advisors
. Eye 'Rigidity
An investigation of selection
methods for students on the
Student Union Activities com
mittee and for committee
chairmenships will begin next
week by the Union Advisory
Board Committee.
A second committee will
begin a committee by comit
tee study of the Union struc
ture and the . activities car
ried on by each committee.
George Uhlig, commuter stu
dent representative to the
Advisory Board, will head this
committee.
Spokesmen for the Advisory
board said their study of the
selection methods stemmed
from student criticism of the
"rigidity" of the Union hier
archy. "All promotions are on a
vertical basis. Because of this
it has been felt by some per
sons that adequate opportun
ity is not offered for 'late
comers' to beebme a part of
the Union top echelon," ac
cording to Diana Maxwell,
chairman of the investigat
ing committee.
"We felt that the best way
to find if there is any truth
in these claims would be to
study the entire process of
picking union people for posi
trons," Miss Maxwell said.
The advisory board was
formed last year as a group
separate from the Union Ac
tivities Committee, which is
the directing group for stu
dent activity in Union.
The 10-member board has
equal voting powers with the
Activities Committee on bud
get and programming activ
ities. Otherwise it is to serve
as a semi-independent advis
ory group.
