GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIV.

Recent proposals of the George
Washington University students for
a change in control of student ac-
ttvities submitted to the president OF
the university along with changes
advocated by the board of managers
of student activities will shortly be
submitted to the president for action
by the presidents council.
The board of managers of student
activities, which is composed of men,
bers of the faculty, alumni members
and students, recently acted upon the
draft of proposed changes which will
be taken into consideration along
with the proposed changes by the
students.
When the student activities were
given over to the board of managers
by the university trustees a little
more than a year ago no provision
was made for the student council
which existed. There has been a
feeling among members of the stu
dent council this year that the uni
versity should recognize the council
as well as the board Of managers.
President Howard l.. Hodgkins
promises to take action with the
presidents council as soon as the
board Of managers concludes the pro-
posals it has under consideration
along with the recent proposals OF
the student council.
