In one dramatic sweep the presented, concerning its proposed memorandum on social procedures. As amended and approved, the re- port will be mailed to the president of every student organization, to- gether with a letter of explanation. ITSA president; Jim Gaifney read a letter from the Illinois re— gional office of the United States National Student’s Association, which told of a proposed study to determine the financial condition of the average student. After. a short discussion, it was voted that the chair send NSA the material requested for their study and also that he contact APO on follow—up work. A report was made by Shor- Sherman Roberts, chairman of; the publications board. This concerned appointments of executives of the 1951 Integral scheduled for publi— cation in this issue of Technology News. Bill Comis added that the board’s appointments had to be withdrawn because both faculty members were absent from the meeting at which the selections were made. Another matter discussed was a letter addressed to ITSA from Leslie Hardison, president of Tau Beta l'i, concerning I’l‘SA’s reprimand. Hardison stated in his letter that the reprimand was more applicable to I’I‘SA than ‘to Tau Beta H for ITSA’S failure to make rules clear. The board voted to consider the mat- ter closed. At the request of Ed Michelic, a visitor at the meeting, the ques- tion of student cheating was brought up. It was pointed out that no study of this problem had been conducted jointly by the faculty and the students. Presi— dent Gal’fney, after the board’s approval, appointed the‘ following members of ITSA to serve under the chairmanship of Ed Michelic: Ginny Dorociak, Norman Katz, Don Lynch, Tom Murray and Sher- man Roberts. - administration has accomplished what the U. S. Congress couldn’t do in 150 years. In a news release to Technology News two weeks ago it was decreed that next Monday shall be Thursday, Tuesday will be Friday, and W ‘ ‘ y is Saturday. The week now begins in the middle, ends at the beginning and has the start at the center—I think. Somewhere in the shufile Sunday got lost, but I’m sure it will show up somewhere. It might be interesting to wonder where Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will appear in the new setup or will they be Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Oh that’s right, they’re Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday now. This of course raises a very pertinent question, does the week consist of three, six, or seven days or does it consist of three days, 48 hours long? Meanwhile, where does Sunday fit in? A suggestion might be in order: why not start fresh? The week would be four days of 56 hours length named as follows: Monthur, Tuefri, Wedsat, and Frustration. The last named day being a day of rest from the utter confusion resulting from the first three. But here again, a very pertinent question arises, What happens to daylight saving time? Will the farmers revolt again? See next—- oops, wrong story. Be it screwy or not, come with a box of aspirin handy next Mon— day, prepared to attend your Thursday classes.
