The Combined Charities Committee decided not to disband last night, instead accepting a Student Council suggestion to strike the Experiment in International Living off its list and preserve a nearly equal ratio of national and international charities.
The Council, which met Monday night, objected to the preponderance of international designess on the charities card, particularly to the Experiment. Since the charities committee is appointed by the Council, Chairman Carl M. Sapers '53 had said Monday that his committee would either meet the Council's suggestions or break up.
Not Disapproval
In a prepared statement, Sapers said last night "The Committee stressed that their (sic) decision was not a disapproval of the Experiment in International Living, but rather a move to comply with the Student Council. The Experiment in International Living will be included in the (additional) brochure as will all national non-student charities that have previously appeared on the card.
Heavy Write-in
"But only six charities will appear on the card, in addition to the three blank spaces . . . . Over 50 percent of the students took this opportunity (to write in other charities) in last year's drive."
The six charities which will appear on the card are: The National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students, the Phillips Brooks House, the Salzburg Seminar, the World Student Service Fund, the Harvard-Indonesian Project, and the American Friend's Service.
