This is the second year on . the council for Davis, a junior iriajor ing ih advertising, and resident of Irvin Hall. Last year he served on the social and elections com mittees of AIM. Ralph D. Houck will act as campus vice-president and Wil liam J. Norcross as town vice president, with Corbin Kidder secretary and Harold Fitting treasurer. During the meeting Davis appointed George Knorr to the corresponding secretary post. Independent Reporting for the publications committee of the council, Richard Schaenberger announced that the first issue of the “Independent,” news organ for independent men, will appear October 25. Arthur McHcugh is editor. Acting in his former capacity as social committee member, Davis told the council that plans for an independent men’s house party on Junior Prom weekend were well urider way, but that no definite location for the af fair had yet been found.' Last year’s location, the University Club, has already been reserved by another organization.- Reorganization Meanwhile, a committee under James MacCallum : is proceeding with plans to reorganize the council. Progress, however, is ex pected to be slow since proposals call for a. complete revamping of the council structure. At present, the group consists of some 70 rhembers elected from among and by campus and town independent men as representa tives. In action, the large assemb ly has proved to be- somewhat cumbersome and the rapid trans action of busines difficult. Under the new plan, council member ship would be reduced to about twelve, including officers of the several dormitory councils. In this way it is hoped that parallel action can be avoided and that actions of the dorm councils can be more closely coordinated. Major task for the reorganiza tion committee will be the draft ing of a new constitution ; and obtaining a charter for the group. New officers will take charge of their ■ first regular meeting when the council cohveries next Wednesday at 7 j>.nri Initiation of a finance drive will be the main item on the agenda.
