Grow Wij appointed head of
a committee to study greater
cooperation between the execu
tive and the Student Senate.
Commenting on the new po
sition, he said, “The purpose of
the committee is to coordinate
the Cabinet and the Senate to
get more effective legislation
from the Senate.
“It is obvious the Senate
hasn’t done much in the way
of legislation this year. That
is its duty, and we want to see
the Senate do its Job.”
HF, SAID HIS GROFP has
not finalized plans for scope
of their study yet, but hope
to do this at the next Cabinet
meeting Wednesday.
Rhodes will head a com
mittee which intends to or
ganize the second annual cam
pus student leaders’ work
shop.
His committee members in
clude Marsha Cannon, minister
of women’s affairs, Jim Martin,
minister of men’s affairs, and
Mike Shepherd, minister of
publications.
“Our committee gets to
gether and selects a topic
beneficial to students. Then we
ask different campus leaders
and faculty members to speak
on different subjects.
"The student leaders work
shop held last February had
a really good crowd and the
outcome was successful,” said
Rhodes.
HE S AID THIS YEAR’S get-
together should be a one-day
event, possibly lasting into the
night. The prime attendants of
the convention will be the
presidents of different campus
organizations and other cam
pus leaders.
“We hope to have a Cabinet
meeting this week for selecting
a topic for the workshop,” he
said. “With the cooperation of
all, we think this event will
really prove to be worthwhile
for the students, faculty and
administration.”

The following question was asked to a random sampl

petitions and drives on campus for and against causes, do
you think they have been effective?
Fred Hand said, “Not always are they effective, but
they can be if carried out in a civil manner.”

Greeks earn
more points
in carnival
By DON RHODES
Fraternities and sororities
now have a chance to earn
points for their point sys
tem by participating in the
WUN winter carnival to be
held Feb. 11 in Rtegeman
Hall, announced David Per-
gament, president, of the
World University Service.
Kappa Slgmn, which gives
a best sorority of the year
award, And AOPI. which gives
the best fraternity of tho year
awnrd, have agreed that fra
ternities nnd sororities will be
entered Into tho point system
by sponsoring a booth at the
WUS Carnival.
Judges for the points,
which are ncelcil for acquir
ing the best, fraternity nnd
sorority awards, will be
chosen by AVUH from tho
faculty and administration.
The |>olnts will be given on
the basis of three things:
participation, orlglnnllty nnd
total funds collected.
Awarding of points Is not
meant to discourage other or
ganizations from entering,
said Pergament. "it was meant
to enhance the total participa
tion of all organizations. Each
organlpatton will bo competing
against the Greeks. This should
produce incentive for out
doing the Greeks.”
Pergament snld WUS also
will give trophies for the best
organizations partici
pating. The trophies have no
relation to tho point system.
"Wo expect the bulk of par
ticipation to come from or
ganizations other than the
Greeks,” he said. “Out of 220
different campus organizations
we are hoping for 100 per cent
participation: however, we ex
pect about 50 liko lust year.
The main purpose of this
year's Carnival Is to provide
India with student sendee
scholarships amounting to
81,400. All proceeds of the
Carnival will bo contributed
to the project.

With all the Air Force and Army uni
forms around campus, not many people
realize that about 30 University students
are in the Navy. At least they're in the Navy
every Tuesday night.
These men are members of Naval Reserve
Surface Division 6-61. a unit of about 42
enlisted men and nine officers which meets
weekly at the Supply Corps School.
Most Athenians are familiar with the
Navy supply corps here, but few realize
that the Navy line is represented in Athens
even though it is a long way from the ocean.
The enlisted men in the reserve unit ba

Is composed of young sailors who join the
unit, attend drills for a year, and then go
on active duty for two years.
The second group is composed of men
who have already been on active duty and
are either attending drills to finish up their
reserve obligation, or have voluntarily af
filiated because they like the Navy and
want to stay associated with It. The third
group is composed entirely of University
students.
These men are participants in the Navy's
Reserve Officer Candidate program. They
attend weekly drills as reservists while in
college and spend two summer periods of
eight weeks each at the Navy Officer Candi
