The fifty-cent fee to provide money for new band uniforms was also approv ed at the meeting . The Board set aside thirteen ap pointive positions on the committee for men, while two 9f the positions have been allotted to the women. The women's positions will automatically be filled each year by the women's class president and the social chair man of the class. First Committee Size Reduction Prior to this change, the two com mittee-women were named by the dance chairman. The Board ruled that since the women's class president and social chairman are on the com plimentary ticket list, they should he placed on the committee, thus reduc ing the comp ticket list. Until this time there have been no restrictions as to the size of dance committees. Board members felt that class officers were taking advantage of the situation, and that the size of the committee was completely out of proportion to the work done by the members.

Ebert, superintendent of grounds and build ings, submitted a letter to the Board lin which he set forth his reasons for keeping the department in the grounds and buildings office. The filing in dex and catalogue system which has been developed by his office force was cited as one of the reasons.

Campus patrolmen are on duty at that time, it was ex plained.
