SGC, Evaluates Its Goals
At Two-Day Conference

Fourteen members of Student
Government Council are study-
ing basic Council problems at a
retreat yesterday and today at
Fresh Air Camp.
Designed to aid the Council in
its deliberation, the two-day re-
treat will consist of group meet-
film by' the Group Dynmaics cen-
ings, two man sessions, and a
Research, entitled "Invisible Com-
ter of the Institute for Social
mittees."
The group meeting will discuss
three questions, "What is the pur-
pose of Student Government
Council?" "Is the Council fulfill-
ing this purpose adequately?" and
"What is the proper purpose for
a student government?"
Subsidiary questions to be con-
sidered are the purposes of jobs
of Council members and their re-
lation to the student community,
and the means for doing this job.
The Council will also evaluate
this work in relation to these
goals.
The means of compromise for
achieving effective legislation will
be considered.
The meetings will not adhere
closely to these topics, but will be
open for discussion of related
questions and problems. This tech-
nique is modeled after a summer
conference in student leadership

held in Bethel, Me., which four
Council members attended.s
The two-person meetings will
allow individual Council members
to go over the issues raised in the
group meetings in greater depth.
"Invisible Committees" analy-
ses committee meetings to explore
problems and pressures of its
members and how to overcome'
them.]
Thief Removes
$1800 Mural
A tapestry valued at $1,800 was
stolen during intersession from the
Michigan Union.
The 9' x 12' tapestry had been
hung from a rod on the wall just
north of the double doors in the
Union's main lobby.
Police could offer no clues as
to the identity of the thief, the
whereabouts of the tapestry or
how it was removed.
Union General Manager Frank-
lin Kuenzel said the mural appar-
ently was stolen "about 10 days
ago," although there may have
been a lapse of perhaps one or
two days between the theft and
the discovery by a janitor of the
tapestry's disappearance. I

posers will perform ONCE each in
