and program was the leading busi
ness of the student council at its
meeting Wednesday afternoon at
tne Union.
The council voted to adopt the
AUF following a discussion led by
Bob Henderson. A clause was in

advisory board must be from the
student council and the bill was
passed after this change was

porate drives, formerly scattered
throughout the academic year into
a few concentrated drives. By this
method students will make contri

at one time. All assistance drives
are to come through the AUF in
stead of individually as has been
the practice.
The first drive will be held to
aid the WSSF and Rags for Serv

The money collected will be di
vided among the two organizations
according to their budgets.
This year the AUF promises the
the men to sign up to attend the
