YEAR'S FIRST MEETING SCHEDULED BY COUNCIL

Tonight at 7:30 o'clock the Student Council will held its first meeting of the year.

For the purpose of receiving petitions and suggestions which undergraduates wish to bring to the Council's attention, an officer of the Council will hold office hours in the Council room in Brooks House from 9 to 10 o'clock this morning.

Phil C. Neal '40 last night urged that "even minor matters" should be brought to the Council's attention, and pointed out that questions raised by individuals, as well as by undergraduate groups, are considered by the Council.

Although the Council has no disciplinary powers, Dean Hanford has pointed out that "no important change in educational policy or in the rules or regulations of the College will be made without first consulting the Council and seeking its advice."

Among the important reforms initiated by the Council in recent years are the Temporary Student Employment Plan (1932); the inter-House athletic system (1937); and the establishment of Associate memberships in the Houses (1939).

A Council report on Harvard education, making specific recommendations on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of Harvard's educational policies, was submitted early last June and will probably be considered by the Faculty Council this Fall
