Council votes
fund transfer
for Prom debt
Unused money in budget
for convention will be
spent to cover deficit
The Student Council yesterday
voted to transfer funds from the
amount allowed in the budget for
Bending a delegate to the Student
Council convention to cover the
Prom deficit of $64.
But at the same time, the Coun
cil discovered that the budget for
the year 1939-40 had not yet been
approved by the faculty commit
tee of L. E. Gunderson, John Sel
leck, and Dean Thompson. Failure
to approve the budget was due to
a misplacement of the submitted
budget, according to Arthur Hill,
treasurer.
The motion for transfer of funds

While there the group enjoyed a
dress rehearsal of the "First

a special sound effects program.
