The board i a lengthy discus

dent Charles elsh with suggest
ed methods of renewing the gift l i
to take to president Eric A.
Walker at a meeting to be held'
on the gift fund.
Welsh an d All-University
President Jay Feldstein are
scheduled to meet with Walker
on Friday afternoon.
Welsh said he will bring the
board's suggestions to Walker
and will also try to determine if
there are any monies now avail
able which could be Channeled
into a gift fund.
The board discussed the issue
both from the point of trying to
raise money for a gift this year
—which Welsh said he "very defi
nitely" hopes to do—and provid
ing a system for providing funds
for a class gift in the future.
A proposal to empower Feld
stein and Welsh to negotiate
with the University to reallo
cate funds for a class gift was
passed by All-University Cab
inet last Thursday.
The advisory board suggestions
included both reallocation of
funds and other methods of rais
ing the money.
The board concluded that "one
of the better ways" to raise mon
ey in the future is by assessing
each student at the beginning of
each semester.
Among other suggestions
brought up at the meeting were:
A voluntary collection of fees
among seniors for this year's
gift; an assessment of seniors to
provide a down payment on a
gift, the remainder to be paid af
ter the class has graduated; and
a graduated assessment among all
classes for the next four years,
after which the fee would be
standardized.

and upperclasswomen both may
request freshman men to "But

"Curtsy."
Only one violator was penal

Perez said he is hoping students
will answer a plea to help clear
and burn the debris in the area.
He said this will save money.
The plea will be issued to stu

Once the plans for the dam are
sent to the board it remains only
for the board to approve them.
The board meets once a month.

sponsored and paid. for by the
