Cabinet Accepts Report On Activity File Project All-College cabinet heard a report Thursday night on a pro jected system of activities files for every male student on campus, and approved the recommendations of the committee. Submitted by James Worth, the report said the main advan tages of such a system would be the availability of records to em ployers and FBI civil service security checkers; assistance to coun- seling awards committees, as well as faculty advisers; the probabil ity that it would bring more men out for activities, and the aid it would offer to La Vie and campus honoraries. Speaking for the activities file, H. K. Wilson, dean of men, said such a unified setup would be a great help to his office. Both he and Worth pointed out that such files are in use for women stu dents and have proved valuable. As suggested by the cabinet committee, the system would have a small card for each male student, listing his name, school, and activities and average by semester. Councils Keep Files The files would be kept up to date by the individual school councils, which would be respon sible for their accuracy. This, said Worth, would eliminate possible PRICE FIVE CENTS present his topic at this .time, Schug added. Rescheduling Attempted However, the committee will do all it can to secure Johnston’s services at the earliest possible date, according to Schug. “We are sorry to have to dis appoint the public temporarily but ask its indulgence,” Schug continued. “The committee desires to bring men of Johnston’s stature to the forum,” Schug said, “but in so doing must expect that during this emergency an occasional change of date, speaker, or both will be necessary.” Forum patrons were advised to save their tickets for the Eric Johnston number. A new date for his lecture will be set .and publicized. Johnston Active Johnston, president of the Mo tion Pictures Association of America, is former president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He served on several government committees during the past war, including the Economic Stabili zation board. Economic Develop ment committee, and the War Manpower commission.

Information for the files would come from the activity groups themselves. To initiate the system among students already on campus, the report suggested that cards be filled out at the February regis tration and checked for accuracy by the faculty advisers. For in coming freshmen, the cards would be handled by the school coun cils from the beginning. Worth said his committee could operate the table for activities cards during registration. All money necessary would be sup plied by the Dean of Men’s office. Wilson predicted that once the files were set up. his office could probably take over the adminis tration of them. He said they would be a valuable aid to him.
