At a meeting Wednesday, the
Group Formed To Advise Student Ass’n
With the purpose of letting the University administration know the aims and ideas of student government officers, a committee of eight met Wednesday in the office of Mary B. Merritt, dean of women.
Called by V-12 Richard Farrier, new president of the student body, the meeting was the first of what are planned to be regular monthly conferences on student affairs.
It was suggested that future meetings include those officers of the Student association and members of the faculty and administration who would be best qualified to meet the problems at hand.
First problem up for discussion was the student constitution. A committee including Farrior, Clyde Frazier, current president; KoQie Kohen, vice president; William J. Hester, secretary of the University; and an unselected member of the Law school faculty, was appointed to investigate and perhaps draft a new set of regulations.
It was also decided that a student-faculty committee should be appointed to pass on the eligibility of candidates for office as well as-appointees to offices in the student government. This (roup would be able to avoid the trouble which arose about several office seekers last week.
Marshall Simmons, former editor of the Hurricane, was appointed to prepare a new edition of the M book, freshman guide to the University. The new book will be ready for incoming frosh on November 1.
Also present at the meeting were Dean Merritt and Foster Alter, dean of men.
senior class voted to give seventy-five dollars to the Oct. 13 Jinx dance committee. This money is part of the class’ share of the $340 profit made on the recent Junior-Senior Summer Queen Prom. It was decided that the remainder of the class’ share be given to the first term seniors after graduation expenses are subtracted. It was stipulated that the money Oi> partially used next trimester to purchase a gift for the school from both sections of the class.
Arrangements for graduation announcements were made at the meeting. Seniors are requested to order announcements and make reservations for the banquet with Irwin Raskin, president of the class.
The following is a list of the graduates.

We Don't Have Election Results
Election news this week comes by way of the washroom. It seems that the ballots from last Friday’s voting have not been counted and will not be tabulated until Monday at 2 p.m. somewhere in the Law school. Anyone interested is invited by Jim Eilafian (chief justice-elect of the Honor court, we hear) to attend.
The way we figure it, these are your new student officers; Richard Farrior, president; Roland Kohen, vice president; Alice Cook, secretary; Seymour Hinkes, treasurer; James Pilafian, «kief justice; Sam King, Louise Maroon, and Laura Goldman, three of six justices; with prosecuting attorney and three more •ssoaate justices to be appointed.
Cur prognostications on the above candidates are practically fcolproof because we think that in the final analyis none of them were opposed in the election after all the disqualifica-withdrawals, etc.
