PRICE THREE CENTS
First By-Law Passed
To Allow Substitutes
For Representatives
After approving the Agricul
ture and Chemistry-Physics
School council budgets, Cabinet
rescinded its action last' night and
ordered a special Interclass Fin
ance Board meeting to further in
vestigate the council budget sys
tem.
Although no definite amount is
alloted for schoot councils, last
year's Cabinet gave approximate
ly $3OO for this purpose. A ques
tion arose at last night's meeting,
however, when James W. Ritter
'42, Interclass • Finance Board
chairman, revealea that the Agri
culture council had already spent
$75 which they had requested for
this year's budgef.
On the basis of $75 per council,
Cabinet would be forced to allot
much more than $3OO for the sev
en councils. 13ecause of this,
Cabinet rescinded the motion ap
proving the two budgets already
submitted, and recommended that
representatives of all councils
meet this week with the Inter
class Finance Board to discuss the
present budgets and to adopt some
system for future use.
Clarence - Kunz '42, Cabinet
representative from the Agricul
ture council, explained that the
$75 was spent for the Ag picnic.
This sum, he said, was based on
the amount provided for their
council last year.
The first by law to the student
government constitution was ap
proved by Cal.inet. The by-law
will provide for substitute repre
sentatives to replace Cabinet
members during necessary ab
sences. The substitutes, accord
ing to the by-law, must attend at
least two Cabinet meetings be
fore they are entilled to vote.
Cabinet also approved the Soph
Hop budget, which calls for an
estimated expenditure of $2,551.25
as "against estimated receipts of
$2,556.50 based on a sale of 540
tickets.

sign-painting on the campus, Cab
