The principal work of the Congress is done Within seven standing committees. These committees consist of two representatives from the Congress and one faculty member of the Commit tee on Student Affairs, who serves as chairman. Each administrative committee meets whenever the chairman receives some business that falls under the jurisdiction of that committee. During the past semester the Student Congress held meetings every Tuesday afternoon. At these meetings, the administrative business of the University is dis- cussed and issues voted upon, if necessary. The decision of the Congress is then carried to the Committee on Student Affairs by the four officers. These officers are present at all meetings of the Committee as voting members. All petitions, requisitions, and mo- tions received from organizations are presented in the form of motions on the agenda and acted upon. The Student Congress welcomes any sug- gestions which may be put in its mail box. Any student desiring to have a motion presented at the meetings should make use of this box or else make contact with one of the representatives. The spon- sors of the organization are S. E. Shapiro of the General Engineering Drawing Department and Roy Huitema of the Physical Sciences Department. Objectives accomplished this semester are the establishment of the Quad Council for the purpose of creating a four-year college here in Chicagog investigation of the parking situation, and a student book exchange.
