The recommendation presented by Joseph Cutler, chairman of this year’s Orientation Week commit tee, will set up a committee head ed by a junior hat society mem ber. Hat Society Council will be responsible to cabinet for the committee’s work. Cabinet also passed a recom mendation that the committee be appointed as soon as possible so the chairman • might be able to work out plans for the counseling program with the deans of. men and women. The recommendation as first in troduced by Cutler specified a junior hatman as, head of the com mittee. Cutler said it was felt that since the men’s hat societies are new at freshman counseling, it would be more advantageous to have a man as head of the com mittee. He said a man could work more closely with the dean of men in arranging' a -men’s coun seling program. Cabinet felt, however; it would be better if the choice of chair man was not limited to a man since the women are more experi enced in counseling. A Robert SmOot made nine rec ommendations in presenting the encampment evaluation commit tee report. These included the schedule for next year’s encamp ment. As passed by cabinet the en campment will start "Wednesday afternoon with a plenary session. In the evening there will be a hot dog roast. Thursday morning, af ternoon, and evening, a workshop will be held. The schedule for Thursday met some opposition. Many members argued against such a heavy workload in one day. A move to strike this recommendation failed by a vote of 12-11, with two ab stentions. 1 Thomas Kidd, cabinet parlia mentarian, pointed out that one of the reasons for the recommen dation was the displeasure. of University officials over the con duct at encampment during this year’s free Thursday night.
