Economical: The fee avoids duplia cation, eliminates waste and expenses of putting on numerous financial cam? paigns, has saved much money by V putting organizations under faculty supervision. Expenditures must have approval of faculty and all accounts are audited. k Under Voluntary System: Each organization wbuld have own campaign, collecting as much as possible, - and spending it as they saw fit. Our ; present system permits faculty control. Impossbile to Carry on Without Fee: 5 It is the consensus of opinion that | practically every student activity r would have to be suspended if the j fee is abolished or materially reduced. ; Present legislation is expected to reduce the size of the Student Body next year, therefore, materially reduces the amount of available under the present system. Majority of Students Favor It: The students know that the fee was selfimposed and that it can be abolished by a majority vote of the Student Body at any time. No such step has been taken or even suggested. A few students oppose the fee, largely because they are not participating in activities that are needed for their own personality development. This Is a Student Matter: In so much as this fee was imposed by request of the students and can be abolished by them, we feel that this is a student matter, to be handled by the students and by the board of trustees of the University in consultation with the students.

Coles Heyward, president of the organization, announced that other groups will be formed as the demand for them arises. Group meetings will be held as often as the chairman desires, a business meeting will be held once a month in the afternoon, and a meeting at which a speaker will present some important social problem will also be held monthly, at night. The College League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization whose members are endeavoring to learn something about the solution of certain problems of society, that they may vote intelligently when they receive the chance. Members of the three study groups are the following: Child Welfare, Helen Middleton, Chairman, Mary Lees Graham, Lucia Hudgens, Gertrude Burrows, Mary McNeill, and Sarah Crawford; International relations, Mrs. Rosamond Wimbcrly, chairman, Lucille Grant, Susan Campbell, and Mary Ford; and Racial Problems, Coles Heyward and Harriet Conner.
