Toward the end »f the last semester we asked the outgoing Student S«fiate to or ganize some mnall-Srale Senate, or St’Kirnt Council the name ta immaterial to fill in the gap dufing the summer. Either out of aegtoct or lack of concern no an i<>n was taken tu accomplish those ends. There is a definite need for student reftpeaentaturn during the summer, just aa durfcig the ngiiinr term The asms prob lems still face the college. these problems in t*m face the student body Only a high irgr-e of rooperfbon can solve them This d operation could be obtained by an effi cient representative group With only a few dormitories open for the summer, no large group is necessary. Meeting* could be held mote often than the regular Senate mat. smee the organisation would be smaller and could accomplish jmom by actiag quickly The recreation program s chances for greater success could be greatly enhanced by such an organisation- one with defi nite resiHinaibillties But larger than any single activity is the ever-present need for a liason unit between the student body and the administration of the college The summer la rapidly passing, but it is never too late.
