New Name, Plan
Of Organization
Mass Meeting Assigns Old Interclub Council
Title of 'Union;' 20 Major Divisions Set Up
The plan -worked out liy the
committee for Barb organiza
tion which included the use of
the name arh Union to re
place the old Barb lnlerclub
council was unanimously accepted
last night by the year's second
large mass meeting. The plan was
presented by Don Seidel and
ground work of organization be
gun by the passing out of minie
graphed information slips.
The plan which will be worked
out in detail by Don Seidell and
Otto Woernor calls for approxi
mately 20 major divisions which
will include Barb men on the cam
pus. In each of these groups, which
will be laid off geographically,
there will be approximately 1U0
men. Wherever there are Barb
houses which are organized they
will be used as building stones to
form the major divisions.
Barbs living singly or in groups
of less than ten, which is the min
imum number for a full sized club,
will not be neglected but will be
grouped ten in a unit in small
geographical areas and thru the
leader who will be notified by the
head of the major division, each
Barb will be contacted.
Communication System.
The organization above outlined
is the system of communication,
the houses that are organized ue
ing used to get word of plans to
its members. The social and ath
letic activities will use the Barb
clubs as the basic unit, but will
not disturb the communications
plan. Small Barb houses will be
allowed to sign up outside mem
bers to play in their teams, and
isolated Individuals who wish to
participate in athletics will be
aided in forming teams, but neither
of these setups will cause varia
tion in the communications sys-
tern.
To fill vacancies in the Barb
union, as the men's group will
hereafter be called, Don Seidel
was chosen organization chairman
with Otto Woerner as his assist
ant. Cecil Homing was selected as
secretary, Bob Willey was elected
sophomore member for the Barb
Council, and Ellsworth Steele was
chosen publicity chairman for the
Barb union.
The committee named to work
out plans for the Barb employ
ment bureau consisted of Art Hen
lickson, Kenneth Rose,, Tod Ka
mas. Edwin MacDonald nnd Pa!
Leonard. Kile Constable, as social
chairman, assumed the responsibil
ity of arrangements for next Fri
day's Barb hour dance in the Stu
dent Union.
Otto Woerner suggested an in
vesication be made into the pos
sibilitv of obtaining: an orchestra
to play for the dances and the
suggestions was given to the so
cial chairman.

value to art students. Hung In the
third floor corridors, the series will
be inaugurated by a collection of
illustrations, advertising layouts

Sororities will not be permitted
to sing the same song in the 19.19
Ivy day sing that they sang in
1938, according to a new ruling
laid down by the A. W. S. board
Friday.
The new rule states that the
same song may not be sung for
two consecutive years, becoming
immediately effective on the songs
used last spring. Repeating the
same music every other year, how
ever, is quite permissible.
The A. W. S. board wishes the i
ruling known at this early date
in order that sororities may be ,
spared the futility of beginning
practice on a song that will be
ruled out.
A similar ruling was put into
effect last year by the Kosmet
Klub, applying to the interfrater
nity sing, which led to some con
fusion among sororities as to the
legality of their songs, but no such
ruling has ever been made before
by the A. W. S. board.
