Board Cuts Salaries of Dance Heads, Class Presidents $25; Mixed Student Board Formed Organization To Begin Functioning After '34 Elections IDEA OF MERGER FIRST PROPOSED BY WOOD '33 New Body of 4 Men, 2 Women To Coordinate Activities Of Governments Culminating a year's drive to merge men and women's student governments, a combined student board has been established by the two groups, John T. Ryan jr., presi dent of the senior class, announced last night. This new organization will settle all disputes and problems which may arise concerning both men and women' students. The body will begin func tioning immediately after the men's elections have been held this month. It will be composed of fotir men stu dents and two women students. The idea of such a merger was first proposed by John A. Wood 'RS, presi dent of last year's senior class. At the beginning, of this school year Ryan took up Wood's proposal and made a survey of the system used in forty seven other universities and colleges. The result showed that thirty-three of these schools have combined governments. After studying the re- sults of this survey, the governing bodies here have established this new organization. Not a .Complete Merger This combined board will serve to ; coordinate the legislation of the men I and women's governments. Instead of making a complete merger of goyern, ments where class o ff icers are elected I by a combined vote, it was felt'by the 'IWO-organizations:that such'llbeded no this could meet all of the problems that would arise here. It will consider all legislation re lating to both men and women under graduate students. The action of this board will be binding upon the separate governments of both men and women. In order that, legislation may be brought before the special board; it must be submitted to the body upon the recommendations of both the men and women's governments. The board will have no special meeting time, but will convene only when legislation necessitates that action be taken. The four men composing this board are: president of the senior class: editor of the COLLEGIAN; one other representative from Student Board; and one representative from Student Council. The two women will be mem bers of the Women's Student Govern ment Association Senate, and will be elected within that body.
