This was the contention of Robert E. Graul Jr. '42 of the Lion Club, Boyd C. Gart ley '4l of the Blue and White Club, Robert F. Jones '42 of the Mac Hall student help, and Elden E. Shaut '42 of the Pioneer House. The unit heads said that the IMA's biggest obstacle, lack of cooperation, has now been largely overcome and that each unit now has the full backing of its men. Arrangements for the appear ance of an IMA news sheet early next week were made at Wednes day's meeting, and plans were drawn up for second semester ac tivities. Three units paid up de linquent dues.
