EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF A A
MEETS

The Executive Council of the Ath-
letic Association met in the Music
Room last Monday morning during the
second period. The meeting was pre-
sided over by the President, Miss Phoe
be Mock and was attended by repres
entatives from the Association men,
bership in each room. The principal
business before the Council was the
revision of the Constitution of the A.
A. This constitution was written and
went into effect four years ago when
the Association was first formed un-
der the presidency of Willard Stevens
and since that time it has been found
that the Athletic Association has not
been functioning as was originally in
tended. Accordingly, meeting of the
entire membership was called two
weeks ago and it was decided that each
home room should elect representa-
tive to an Executive Council. This
election took place and the Council con
vened on Monday morning to assume
its duties. 1t was decided that this
body of students shall attend to all bust
ness which pertains to athletic, re-
lieving the Student Council of much
responsibility. Several committees
were appointed by the president; one
to revise the Constitution, one to study
means of promoting interest in ten
mis- tournament, and one to investigate
the point system and record the num-
Der of points each athlete has to his
credit. These committees will report
at second meeting on next Wednes-
day morning. There being no further
business, the. Council adjourned.
