Two Groups
Plan Project
t Under the sponsorship of As-
sembly and Panhellenic Associa-
tions, a new plan of exchange din-
ners between dormitories and sor-
orities was tried out Tuesday
night.
Purpose of the dinners was to
promote friendly relations between
the two women's groups on cam-
pus, and give coeds an opportunity
to meet new people.
At this first dinner twenty-four
houses took part. From 15 to 25
women exchanged from each
iouse and were entertained with
a meal and informal get-together
afterward.
In many houses hostesses were
in charge of escorting the guests
to dinner and seeing that they met
other coeds in the house.
Guests stayed after the dinner
for coffee and informal meetings
with their hostesses. Group sing-
ing around the piano was started
in most of the dormitories and
sororities.
The exchange dinners were
planned by Barbara Wagner of
Panhellenic and Mimi Blau of As-
sembly. This first dinner was
scheduled for one night to start
the program, and both women
hope that more dinners can be ar-
# ranged later this semester and
next semester.
Through the social chairmen or
activities chairmen in the dormi-
tories and sororities, some of the
houses that were busy this par-
ticular night could plan exchange
dinners.
Miss Blau and Miss Wagner both
felt that the plan was a success-
ful one, and achieved the purpose
of creating an informal and
friendly atmosphere between sor-
orities and dormitories.
Diane Harris, president of Pan-
hellenic Association and Adrienne
Shufro, president of Assembly As-
sociation issued a joint statement
expressing their opinion that the
idea Worked out successfully and
was a forward step in establishing
fine relations between the two
organizations.

One coed who attended this
function last year judged it a suc-
cess by the way guests went back
three and four times for extra
helpings of food.
While plans for the floorshow
are still incomplete, students from
the Philippines are expected to do
one of their native dances.

Mass Meeting Planned
To Fill JGP Positions
Too much time is spent voting
on situations and not enough time
is used for thinking up solutions
to problems, according to Dean
Deborah Bacon, guest speaker at
yesterday's Board of Representa-
tives meeting.
To remedy' this dilemma Dean
Bacon brought up four major
campus subjects that need orig-
inal student thinking.
Number one on her list is the
automobile referendum. The Dean
advocates that students discuss
the parking and insurance prob-
lems and figure out just what reg-
ulations, if any, they think there
should be.
Question number two concerns
study patterns and facilities on

campus. Specific data has to be
gathered here as to where, when
and how students do their home-
work.
These answers are important be-
cause when schoolwork has to be
done University students can not
lock themselves up in the peace
and quiet of their own rooms as
was done in high school, she said.
Cheating constitutes the third
controversial topic. While the.
Deans are interested in who
cheats and why, they are also con-
cerned with the attitudes of the
person who watches this cheat-
ing go on.
The fourth major subject in-
volves the social-sexual behaviour
problem. Here, according to Dean
Bacon, the authorities are more
interested in what the standard
is, rather than what it should be
and are interested in comparing
the students here and at home.
Early in her speech the Dean
emphasized the importance of
the League Nominating and Inter-
viewing Committee and Board of
Representatives as the sources of
power in women's government on
this campus.
At the outset of the meeting,
Nancy Rein, chairman of the fac-
ulty-student lounge committee an-
nounced that the lounge would
be open from 8 a.m. to noon and
1 p.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Mon-
day morning.
Already one sociology professor
has held a class in the lounge and
it was reported that the informal
atmosphere made a big hit with
the students and teacher.
If large groups desire use of
the room, they should call Miss
Vyn at the League and make an
appointment.
The next meeting of the Board
will be at 4 p.m. Wednesday, De-
cember 17.
