The following are problems which thev have solved in 1940-1941 : Definite plans have been laid for the re-establishment of the Beacon and for the issuing of new Student Tickets and Freshmen Handbooks in September: a program of bi-weekly assemblies has been introduced: a dance or series of dances will provide for the financing of the Student Activity Award: the Executive Council itself has been reorganized into efficient Congressional Committees, and by amendments to the Constitution the time for annual elections has been changed to June.
