Legislature Hears
Committee Reports
From 1955-56 Years
The beads of various campus
organizations and committees gave
their reports in the regular stu-dent
legislature session April 25.
The reports covered activities dur-ing
the year and suggestions for
the coming year.
Llbby Kaplan, in her report for
the National Students Association
suggested that two freshmen rep-resentatives
be appointed to he
NSA Council Instead of the usual
one delegate. She also suggested
that the Political Affairs Commit-tee
and the International Affairs
Committee be combined, since
their functions overlap, and that
foreign students be put under the
auspices of this committee
Margie Leder, chairman of the
Inter-Faith Council, suggested
that a non-denominational chapel
building be the main project of
the council In 1958-57. and Louisa
Mordecal outlined the new set-up
of the YWCA.
Reporting for the Service Lea-gue,
Esther Krasney urged that
plans for the Purse Drive be car-ried
out earlier next year, she
also suggested that most of this
fund go to World University Serv-ice,
which Is a world-wide orga-nization
for students. The approp-riation
of this money to WU8
would benefit needy students In
other countries as well as In the
United States.
Marty Yow presented proposed
points changes which ware adopt-ed
after debate.
Also during the session, Llbby
Kaplan read the Constitution for
the Students for Stevenson club,
