Discussed
By Trustees

the College Board of Trustees met
last night. Indications were that
they discussed the proposed re
duction in the student assess
ment fee and the proposed cam
pus radio station.
All-College Cabinet at its
meeting Thursday night passed
the reduction recommendation
for the third time which auto
matically referred it to the board
for consideration.
The measure to reduce the stu
dent interclass assessment fee
from 75 cents to 50 cents was
originally introduced at Cabinet
by Emerson Jones, All-College
secretary-treasurer. He said that
at the present time the inter
!class fund contained an accumu

from dance receipts taken in
during the past several years.
Jones also pointed out that the
interclass assessment was never
reduced to compensate for the 25
cents which is no longer taken
out for the Blue Band.
The committee will make a
recommendation to the Board of
Trustees as to what action should
be taken towards the proposal.
A report of the proceedings
will be submitted to the full
