A plan for arranging class sched ules so that each student would have a vacant hour at the same time three days per week for chapel, orienta tion, and various meetings was dis cussed and abandoned. The reason this proposal was not carried out was tire various difficulties en countered with the present V -1:2 and V'-s groups on the campus and also the fact that there wvill be two sum wier schools. The commrittee to investigate thre possibilities of moving the bookstore fromn the canteen to larger quarters, comiposed of D)r. Callcott, D)ick D)usenrbury, andI Beverly Nininger, reported that stuch a move wourld be imrpossib)le at thre present time.
