He said that the class officers
had worked with James Pittentrer
Alumni Association secretary, in
forming the constitution.
Pittenger. James said, endorsed
the idea because it would
strengthen the alumni work. A
class spirit would make it easier
to arrange for class reunions.
THE COUNCIL decided to post

it.
If the Council does not approve

However, if an election of class
officers is to take place this
spring, the council will have to
pass the constitution in time to
aiiow the constitution to be sub

and for class officers to set
up tne machinery for the election.
Even if this is not accomplished
in irnie ior snrine elections. rise

military aid to Pakistan because of fear that this part of Asia
would become more powerful. Aid would be to India's disad

trying to pull the country "back to absolute dictatorship." Lt.
