Committee on Girls in Clubs Withholds Report

Council Awards $1500 To Salzburg Seminar

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Recommendations which would have allowed more Radcliffe participation in Harvard's extra-curricular activities were sent back by the Student council last night to the joint committee that drew them up.

The suggestions were about to be approved when Charles R. Brynteson '50 suddenly told the Council two of the four Harvard members of the joint committee had been absent when the recommendations were draw up and asked that the proposals he withdrawn. Broward Craig '50, chairman of the Committee, did so.

Three points made up the report of the joint committee:

1. If Radcliffe has a counterpart of a Harvard organization, students must join groups at their own college.

2. Organizations don't have to permit bi-sexual membership.

3. Radcliffe students can join Harvard clubs until they can form as autonomous Radcliffe group (20 girls)

Salzburg Seminar

Earlier in the evening, Dexter Ferkins '09, chairman of the Department of History at the University of Rochester and newly elected executive director of the Salzburg Seminar asked and received a $1,500 appropriation from the Council to pay some of the Seminar's expenses.

A creation of the Student Council, the Seminar runs six week study sessions, summer and winter, on all phases of American life for a highly selected European student body. Perkins referred to the Seminar as "one of the body's (the Council) finest creations."

David C. Poskanzer '50, who investigated the Seminar last summer "to see how the student body's money was being spent,' testified that while displeased with the Seminar's financial inefficiency last year, he felt it was "one of the few Harvard groups making a positive contribution...the idea is worth our money."

The Council also voted to allocate $125 besides the $100 already granted to the '51 Class Committee toward support of a Junior Class lawn party in the Lowell House Courtyard April 29.

Edward M. Cowett '51 was appointed Business Manager of the Council.
