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. ' •
Jack R Grey '44 was appointed
chairman of a committee which
he will appoint for Cabinet's ap
proval, to cooperate with the
Alumni Association in the annual
Sophomore alumni drive. A five
year membership in the organi
zation may be obtained by the
payment of $2 each semester for
four semesters, Edward K. Hibsh
man, Alumni secretary, pointed
out.
