FOR COUNCIL FILES
Governing Body Strives to
Finish Records, Improve
University.
Announcing that over 50 char
ters of campus organizations were
submitted during the student coun
cil drive to complete its files, the
committee on organizations ex
pressed its appreciation Monday
to the groups which co-operated,
and met the deadline set by the
governing body.
"Never have the files been com
plete enough for the council to
regulate and aid university groups,
properly but now we feei we are
in a position to govern the groups
to the Determent of their own in
terests as well as the council's,"
stated Eleanor Clizbe, chairman of
the committee on organizations.
Groups Fail to Comply.
"There are still many worth
while organizations which have
not handed in their constitutions,
but we hope they realize that un
til they have met the request they
cannot be recognized by the coun
cil, should any dificulty arise nec
essitating outside aid," declared
Irving Hill, president of the coun
cil. These groups will be allowed
to hand in their charters even tho
the deadline is past, as it is hoped
this will prove a test of the or
ganizations right to exist.
"It is to the advantage of every
group to submit a charter, as they
will receive fuller protection
should any campus business arise
affecting the organization. The
council can then refer to the files
and not bother the group," stated
E. W. Lantz, sponsor of the coun
cil. Files Inacessable.
No one but members of the or
ganization committee, officers of
tne council, and autohrized people
will have access to the files. This
measure is taken to exclude "in
formation seekers," according to
comimttee members.
The committee which has been
working on the project includes,
Elizabeth Bushee, Bill Newcomer
and Miss Clizbe.
