Flashcard
Organization
Proposed
The University Student Cen
tennial Committee last night vot
ed to recommend a flashcard sysH
tern which would require fresh
man participation.
Robert Heck, chairman of the
committee, will recommend the
plan to Samuel Moyer, freshman
class president. The plan suggests
that the freshman class organize
the system and supervise the op
eration during th e sophomore
year,
According to the recommenda
tion, Delphi, sophomore men's hat
society, and Cwens, sophomore
women's hat society, will be ask
ed to supervise and coordinate
the organization of the students in
the flashcard section.
The Centennial Committee pre
viously had recommended that a
frashcard section be set up in the
senior section. According to this
plan juniors would apply for the
section at the end of the academic
year and be members of the flash
card section in their senior year.
It would be counted as a minor
activity.
Problems Encountered'
Two problems were encounter
ed by the committee in trying to
work out this plan. Past experi
ence showed members of th e
committee that few if any per
sons attending a game would be
able to see the flashcard cheers.
Because of the seating arrange
ment at Beaver Field, it is diffi
cult to see flashcards in the sen
ior section.
The committee also had diffi
culty in finding a group to take
over the organization of the ac
tivity.
With the flashcard section in
the middle of the horseshoe it is
expected that most of the spec
