Inter-House Council Aims At QuadrangleCooperation I___ . -_____ __ dtcpoad4 Ca~n,2ue I By RITA GEDROVICS Since last spring the Inter- House Council has been operating under its own constitution as an acknowledged organization on campus. Consisting of representatives from each men's residence in the quadrangles as well as the three womens residences, Tyler, Prescott, and Chicago houses, the IHC is the student governing body for inde- pendent residence halls. Operating under rules similar to those of the Women's Assem- bly Association and Student Leg- islature, the council strives for co-operation among the housing units and also works for a closer relationship between the men's residences and Assembly. At the present time, the IHC is engaged in working together with Assembly in the sponsoring of I- Hop. As one of its projects for the year, the council also wants to establish a residence hall confer- ence at the University similar to the conferences of the Big Ten. The council also wants to pub- lish a residence hall booklet for men. There is already a booklet of regulations issued by assembly for women. This new project would make a similar one consisting of rules and regulations for men. In January the IHC also plans to sponsor another magic show with Polgar as guest. In order to have all men's acti- vities together, the council is at the present working on a project to get an office in the Union. Originally the council started by just a few representatives from the East and West Quadrangles getting together and informally discussing their problems. After South Quad joined, the council consisted of representatives from the three quad councils. Two years ago a considerable need for some concrete rules was felt, therefore articles of organ- ization were set up. The organi- zation operated under these articles for about' a year and a half. Finally last spring a con- stitution was drawn up and rati- fled. At the present, the IHC ha§ its Cabinet as one of the executive divisions. It consists of the Presi- dent, Roger Kidsten, and the exec- utive vice-president, Tom Wilcox. In addition there are also three vice-presidents in the cabinet who are the presidents of the councils' in each quadrangle. Jack Kelsey represents South Quad, Gregory Smith is the vice-president fromi West Quad, and Stanley Levy is the East Quad member of cabinet. A treasurer and secretary are also a part of the cabinet. Ron- ald Dalton is the temporary treasurer and also publicity di- rector. Permanent secretary and treasurer are to be elected next week. Consisting of two representa- tives from each house, including women's residences, a council is al- so made up as part of the IHC. One of these representatives must also be on the quad council to keep the two organizations in close contact. This year a permanent judiciary council is also to be set up as part of the IHC. This council is to con- sist of three men who will control the activities of all quad judiciar- ies. According to Roger Kidston, the main purpose of the IHC is to make the residence halls of the quadrangles better places to live in. It also has one of its goals to work for more active houses in sports as well as better co-recrea- tional projects with Assembly. However, if all of these objec- tives fail, Kidston says that the IHC will still be important because it will give students experience in parliamentary procedure and gov- ernment.
