Livengood, Jr., secretary of in- : ternal affairs of the Common wealth, said Tuesday night in in augurating the Liberal Arts Lec ture Series.

TUB Snack Bar Adds Sandwiches Sandwiches and ice cream have been added to the TUB menu, George Donovan, Student Union manager reported yesterday. Twelve physical education stu dents are presently compiling a schedule of chess, table tennis, and bridge instructions and tournaments to be announced at a later date, he said. 1 1 Donovan estimated the capacity of the dance floor at 275 couples on the basis of the Forestry Ball turnout. Although the hall is available for any all-College dances, he asked that groups would seek TUB facilities only when Recreation Hall was in use. When a paid admission dance is held, he explained, the game room must be converted to a checking room and this cuts into the entertainment of those not attending the dance. A cigarette machine has been installed, and green draperies. when pressed, will be hung around the dance floor. The TUB administration toyed with the idea of installing a public ad dress system as a substitute for the nickleodeon. The plan was dropped, however, because of the complicity of the required ma chinery. Forestry Society The Forestry Society elected the following officers at a recent meeting: Heinz Heineman, presi dent; Alan Schmidt, vice-presi dent; Stanley Stankevicz, treas urer; George Kern, recording secretary; Russell Hutnik, corre sponding secretary; and Joseph Owens, athletic manager.

New Association Of Independents To Replace ISM ISC, Troxell Group Drafting Constitution Association Lxf Independent Men (AIM) and Association of Inde pendent Women (AIW) are to be the names of the two independent groups being set up to replace ISC. The new groups will Le entirely new associations not connected with the old IMA and IWA. Several sectu.i.s of the AIM constitution were outlined by IS r ; and the committee to revise the All-College constitution, headed by Robert Troxell. All-College vice president. The AIW constitution will paral lel that of the men. The AIM will be governed by a Council made up of "representa tives from dormitories on campus and specified districts in town." The exact number of delegates will be worked out at a later meeting. The constitutional group will divide the town into districts with as nearly equal student popula tion as possible. This will mean ascertaining where each inde pendent man lives. At the next meeting of the ISC and Troxell's committee next Wed nesday, a draft constitution will be presented. Troxell. Frank Ti done, ISC president, and H ir..bl E. Brown. All-College parliamen tarian, will prepare the rough draft. The change in independent rep resentation was necessitated by the tact that many independent men were not represented on All- College Cabinet. The new groups will take the seats on Cabinet now held by LSC. When the AIM - AIW I consi,.tu tions are adopted an amendment to the All-College charter will be necessary to replace ISC.
