Council, Plagued by Indecision, Agrees to Examine Sholarship

Indecision and self-doubt stifled positive action by the Student Council last night, but the group finally agreed to appoint a committee to investigate the continuation of a scholarship which was established by the last Council.

The committee will report to the Council on Monday and will consider two plans for the scholarship brought up tonight. Philippe M. Charat '60 urged that a specified amount be set aside to augment funds raised for Hungarian students by University drives "that have been successful but not successful enough."

Another plan which the scholarship committee will consider is a short-term loan fund for extracurricular activities. This was suggested by Carl S. Sloane '58 to avoid ending the meeting on "a farcical note" and to remedy the fact that "we've done nothing to aid the student body since February."

The main controversy of the meeting evolved over the NSA referendum which received such half-hearted participation last Thursday.

Several members criticized delaying a decision on NSA, but Council President Larry R. Johnson '58 pointed out that the Council is committed to membership until September. George C. Pontikes '58, elections chairman, revealed that the referendum ballots had contained several "not very complimentary" suggestions for the abandonment of the Council.

Pursuing this line, Sloane announced the formation of a Council Evaluation Committee, and revealed that it is "possible, but not probable" that the committee might find that "the Council doesn't have any function on campus."
