Council Tables Recommendation To Choose HSA Representative

The Student Council last night approved four recommendations to the Harvard Student Agencies, after splitting on a fifth suggestion that a council member be elected to the Board of Directors of the Agencies.

The group tabled action on the recommendation, part of a special report on the HSA, after it was opposed by Dustin M. Burke '52, Director of Student Employment and HSA General Manager, and several Council members.

Burke said a Council observer--or voting member as suggested--at HSA meetings would not have full interests in HSA but in the Council and would infringe upon the privacy that the Agencies Directors desire on some matters.

Approved by the Council were recommendations that the HSA pay its managers a salary instead of requiring them to head agencies, distribute the burden of its expenses better, improve its public relations and publicity, and select its managers as far as possible on the basis of finanical need.
