young people to be assisted in
the further pursuit of their stu
dies at recognized Western Euro

dents' instruction will be a series
of lectures to be given by French,

lectures will deal plainly with
particular aspects of life in the
United States, France, ahd other
Western democracies.

favdr of the proposed constitu
tional - amendment changing the
Tribunal ratio.
In other action taken, the coun
cil voted in favor of an athletic
holiday Monday morning follow
ing, the University of Pittsburgh
football game. The council, how
ever, instructed Shanken to vote
against a proposed central pro
motion agency.
The council also voted in favor
of a scholarship fund to. be set
up from last year’s Spring Week,
profits, and selected an interna
tional understanding committee
with Robert Alderdice as chair
man.
The constitutional amendment
proposed by All-College' Cabinet
last week to change the Tribunal
ratio from five , seniors and two
juniors to five seniors, three jun
iors, and one sophomore was re
ceived favorably by the counciL.

set for the Saturday morning of
the Villanova game. Changing
the date was thought to benefit
more students. 1

up from last year’s Spring -Week

considered adequate. ~ * .
