Hall Plans
by Cabinet
Under the proposed plan, the
total amount collected would be
distributed to student councils ac
cording to the number of students
in each school. At present, only
the Schools of Home Economics
and Agriculture have fees. The
25-cent fee in the Home Econom
ics school is used mainly for the
school publication News and
Views.
Chairman of the ISCB Lincoln
Warren. said seven of the eight
student councils excluding the En
gineering school, needed the mon
ey. However, Douglas Schoerke,
president of the Liberal Arts stu
dent council, said the LA coun
cil did not need - :the money. He
said the council could find uses
for the money, if it were avail
able.
Suggest Student Lounge
The money, Scho e r k e said,
could be , used for mixers to -pro
mote student-faculty relations in
the LA a'nd Engineering schools.
But, he added, the councils would
probably have more money than
they could use.
Interfraternity Council presi
dent Thomas Schott said money
could be used for purposes other
than social. He suggested as a
plan for the Engineering Council,
a lounge for architects on the
fourth floor of the Main Engineer
ing Building.
Approves Seating Plan
Another suggestion presented to
cabinet was to build up and im
prove student publications, espe
cially in the Liberal Arts school.
Cabinet passed the Recreation
Hall Ticket Exchange Plan, which
will admit faculty, alumni, •and
townspeople to indoor Recreation
Hall athletic events.
Students would exchange cou
pons from their AA books for ad:'
mission tickets three to four days
before the event. The coupons
would be exchanged in offices in
Old Main or Recreation Hall.
On the day of the event, tickets
