U. Virginia Council
Starts Recognizing
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Feb.
23.-The Student Council of the
University of Virginia has be-
gun the task of reorganizing the
student government.

The new committee would be
composed of nine students from
different schools of the univer-

cases of student conduct when
the council believes some dis
ciplinary action is needed.
The reorganization was given
overwhelming approval by the
student body in a record one day
voting turnout last week. With
So per cent of the eligible stu
dents voting, the plan was ap-
proved, 1,600-237. Approval of

ganization could go into effect.

worked out in December by the

EppIey Explains Why
He Held Funds for
MARYLAND U. Group

Geary F. Eppley, dean Of men
and director of student well
fare at the University of Mary
land, today amplifled his reasons
for refusing to let a campus Or
ganization spend money appro-
priated to it by the university's
STUDENT Government Association.
Dean Eppley's action last week
provoked the student newspaper,
The Diamondback, to charge that
he exercized dictatorial control
over the Student Government
Association.
When he denied the. Radio
TV Guild access to $100 granted
it by the SGA. Mr.. Eppley said
he did so on the grounds that
it did not offer service to the
entire campus.
SEA officers countered by
quoting the student councils
constitution, which states that
these funds, made UP of student
activity fees, shall be appropri-
ated" to such other activities
as are open to participation by
all students with qualified talents
or which furnish entertainment
for the student body as whole"
The Radio-TV Guild, they ar
gued, fits this provision.
In an interview in today's Dia-
mondback. Dean Eppley said he
felt the Guild has changed its
purpose since it was approved as
a campus organization, and that
it has not been shown that the
students want such entertain
ment as the Guild proposes to
present. He added that the ap-
preparation was first voted down
by the SGA, but that pressure"
caused its passage later.
The SGA constitution, he con-
tinued, is "a question of inter-
probation. We know how this
money is supposed to be used.
We've been doing it for Is years,
and very successfully, too." he
added.
Dean Eppley said that he
didn't agree with SGA concern
ing the amount Of money given
for some activities" He advised
them, he said. "but they saw fit
to do otherwise, so that's all
right. They had the right to
do it."
His job, he said, is to see that
policy" is followed in the appro-
priation of school funds.
