steady decline in membership.
"The poor conditions of the
University Club have curtailed ef-
fective inter-departmental com-
munication among faculty mnem-
bers," explains Prof. James Pol-

partment. He calls such inter-

Pollock and other faculty mem-

"You can't have a good dining
room without a bar," Pollock says.

which local authorities have not
consented to the sale of liquor.
According to a report of thej
SACUA C.Onjittee on .Campus
Planning and Development, "All
three problems would have to be
solved or special legislation would
have to be obtained in order to
serve liquor in the club."
'U' Reluctance
The problem, however is more
than a legal one. Although a
scheme probably could be devis-
ed which would not run afoul of
the state's liquor law, the report
noted that the University is re-
luctant to fight the liquor issue
in public.
The club membership is primarily
faculty although a few "outsiders"
are admitted. Only 550 of the Uni-
versity's 3000 faculty members
are currently part of the club.
The biggest obstacle to acquir-
ing more elaborate facilities is
one of finances and priorities. The
faculty is unanimous in its desire
for better facilities, but it is not
in agreement on possibilities for
replacement of the old facilities.

ton, of the Law School, chairman

By The Associated Press
Communist Viet Cong soldiers and agents were reported
circulating openly in some heavily populated parts of Saigon
this morning amid reports that Communist National Libera-
tion Front had announced formation of a revolutionary coun-
cil to run Saigon.
A soaring general casualty toll was announced as the
third day of the coordinated Communist campaign brought
new clashes in outlying sections of Saigon and heavy action
in other parts of the country.
In at least two city areas, one surrounding the Buddist
pagoda An Quang and the other in the suburbs of Chi Lam,

Claim City

By KEN KELLEY
Students and faculty of the
Residential College yesterday ap-
proved a constitution which pro-
vides for a decision making as-
sembly. Student-faculty elections
of assembly representatives will
be held within two weeks.
The constitution provides for
an assembly composed of eight
students, four faculty members,
and four adminsitrative staff. It
will be chaired by Residential
College Director James Robertson.
"Thisdconstitution' breaks the
power down 50-50," commented
Mark Maddox, '71, who helped do
much of the original drafting.1
"We didn't want to give studentsG
too much voice. We want to work
together with the faculty and the'
administration as a community."
"I was disappointed that stu-
dents don't have enough control
over the decisions that are made,"
said Ruth Kallio, '71. "There are
quite a few faults with the consti-
tution. I don't think we lived up
to the full potential of the col-
lege."
Plan Revision
"The constitution says we have
to revise any rough points in two
years time, anyway," explained
Maddox. "We don't expect any'
problems until then."
Robertson was unavailable for
comment, but Ellis Wunsch, asso-
ciate director of the college, was
happy with the document. "I
think it's a step forward, that in
every aspect of college govern-
ment faculty, administration and'
students will be represented," he
said.
College faculty member Rich-
ard Stewart, of the classical stud-
ies department, said that "it was
a very good job under the cir-
cumstances. We started out with
nothing, and it looks like we came

the first order of the new assem-
bly would be to add such a pro-
vision, so that any decision made
by the assembly could be taken
directly to the students and fac-
ulty.
"We simply overlooked the
matter initially," said Maddox.
"We didn't want to make another
draft, but the referendum will be
taken care of as soon as the dele-
gates are elected."E

compromise that takes into ac-

sity and at the same time keeps
our ideals in mind," he explained.
"I think it's one of the most lib-

"We are all pleased because it
was about time a permanent gov-
ernment was established," said
