Initiate TUB TV Drive Student Fee Discussed By Council . -.Discussion of consolidation" of fees was introduced to the Lib eral Arts Student Council last night by Douglas Schoerke, coun cil president. ' ■ No definite stand was taken on the issue by the council but the consolidation will be considered further at the next meeting. Further discussion was made on the plans for the‘Liberal Arts Open House and mixer. The open house, under the chairmanship of Schoerke, will probably be concerned with the idea “What Is a Liberal Arts Ed ucation?” Division into the vari ous departments will follow.

The mixer, to be sponsored jointly by the Liberal Arts and Education Student Councils, will include faculty-student entertain ment, dancing and 'refreshments. Plans for the mixer will be com pleted after Easter.
