Its more than 50 members, rep- resenting students from all cam- pus housing groups, clubs and associations, act as the official spokesmen for the student body in all problems arising with the University administration and faculty. * * * SL ITSELF is headed by a seven-member Cabinet elected by the Legislators each semester. The Cabinet supervises the adminis- tration of SL projects and out- ines general policies for the year. Working beneath the Cabinet are six standing committees- campus action, citizenship, cul- ture and education, NSA, public relations and varsity. Every Legislator is a member of one of these committees and it is through them that most projects are initiated and carried to completion. The varsity committee, for ex- ample, sponsors the annual Home- coming dance, Varsity Night, pep rallies and team "send-offs" for away games. STRIVING TO promote better international understanding among University students, the NSA committee sponsors educa- tional drives on campus and has set up a travel bureau in Lane Hall where students may obtain information on NSA's "travel- study abroad" programs. Other SL inspired projects in- clude the nationally famous Phoe- nix Project, the Better Business Bureau, the Student Experts pro- gram and the frosh-soph tug-of- war. Any student may run for an SL seat upon submitting a 150-signa- ture petition. THE OFFICIAL MICHIGAN RING IMMEDIATE DELIVERY COMPLIMENTARY ENGRAVING L. G. BALFOUR CO. 1319 S.

Members meet to speak or con- verse with each other in small congenial groups. They welcome the type of training this offers, be- cause of a belief that a man's success depends partially on his ability to "sell" himself through good speaking. * * * A BROAD AIM of the members is to "insure a bond of understand- ing" between their particular ap-l plied sciences and the general pub- lic. Sigma Rho Tau members devote at least three hours a week to their activity. Meeting Tuesday evenings in Rm. 2084 East Engineering Bldg., they divide up into groups of about 10, in which relaxation and better speaking come easily. All interested engineers, archi- tects and students of tecnnology are eligible to join. Carl Hanson, 215 Lloyd House, West Quad, may be reached for extra information.
