The committee acts in an advisory capacity with respect to the Dean of Students and the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline, the chairman having a seat on the latter. The committee has two offices; a chair- man, and a secretary, elected by Institute Committee, and three other members elected by the Dormitory Committee, 5:15 Club and Inter-Fraternitv Conference, re- spectively.
