Council Considers University Project For Charity Drive
Student Council passed a tentative motion to form an all university committee for future charity drives. Franziska Newman from Columbia University outlined the plan for an all university charity next year with each college choosing to support all six charities or limit to one. Barnard would keep its identity and the Term Drive procedure. The council voted to abolish the Community Service Bureau and transfer duties to the Student Service Organization. The proposal goes to the Constitutional Revision Committee before the Representative Assembly.
