Students May Aid
Senate Committees
(This is the fifth in a series of articles dealing with this year’s
student encampment) '
Students will act as representatives on each standing committee
of the University Senate, except rules, if the recommendations pro
posed by the encampment committee on campus-community govern
ment are put into effect.
As suggested by the encampment group, the student representa
tive would serve in an advisory capacity in each of these Senate
committees except student affairs.
Under the plan set up by the
group, the representatives would
be chosen by a joint All-Univer
sity cabinet and senate committee.
In its second recommendation,
the encampment committee pro
posed that all student representa
tives on Senate commitees com
prise a standing committee of cab
inet. These groups would be re
sponsible to and chaired by a cab
inet member who would coordi
nate reports and present them
regularly to cabinet.
The final recommendation of
the campus-community govern
ment committee specified student
representation on the Senate com
mittee on student affairs. The
group proposed that on the Sen

customs day on Thursday was the
major reason for the customs
board declaring the joint enforce

viewed yesterday Were highly in
favor of joint customs for the two
week program.
Friendliness by upperclassmen
was noticed by freshmen during
the first joint customs program.
Greater spirit among the upper
classmen was also noticed
throughout the day by the, fresh
men.
Regular Customs Tuesday
The customs change, however,
will last Monday only and the
Regular program , will go into ef
fect Tuesday. The current rulings
will also remain in effect so that
upperclass men and women may
enforce customs on both men and
women.
The regular program, which
went back into effect yesterday,
again lacked spirit. Very few
freshmen were stopped by upper
classmen to sing and cheer. This
spirit is expected to return during
joint enforcement day Monday.
