Finn, last fall's foot- rgian Partly Cloudy Rising Temperature WEATHER PRICE: THREE CENTS Members Justify Representation On College Cabinet In an effort to determine just how representative and active the various organizations represented on All-College Cabinet are, a spe cial session of Cabinet was held last night at which members gave brief resumes of the organiza tions' activities for the year. The general opinion of Cabinet at the close of this discussion waS that "basically the system of rep resentation now used is the best possible, but that improvements may be made to improve the effi ciency of the body." One suggestion made by Gerald F. Doherty '42, All-College vice president, to better orient inconi ing Cabinet members with the student government setup and problems was, that a non-credit course be given for interested jun iors that would acquaint them with student government and its functioning. Included in this course for po tential Cabinet members could be talks by members active on Cab inet at the time. For instance the Interclass Finance chairman could explain the complete system of interclass funds. It .was suggest ed that the-dean of men might be in charge of such a course along with the All-Collegfoa president. "When students finished such an orientation civilise and then took their seats on Cabinet they would be in a much better position to legislate and decide problems of the student body than is the case under the present system under which members ' come in cold," Doherty pointed out. Reports were given by repre sentatives of all school councils, IMA, and Philotes. •It was evi dent that the accomplishments of the school councils varied con siderably. Some question was brought up as to whether Philotes really was a representative group of inde pendent women, and whether IMA was for men. It was pointed out that . Philotes represents only about 40 or 50 individual women and does not represent groups of women.
