"STUDENT-FACULTY" CHANGES NAME TO PROBLEMS COMMITTEE Dear Editor: In view, of the recent attacks on what has up1) to this point been knowin as the Student Facility Relations Committee and <luestions raised concerning the committee, we are writ mng this letter in an attempt to explain the functions of the committee and to reply to the arguments raised by Student Council. Last. semester members of this committee naised the question of dormitory inspections. At the suggestion of civilian members of the tomiittee, who felt that since the tenements had been recently renovated, an effort shoul be made to preserve the good condition of the rooms. Following the usual channels, Student Faculty presente<d a tentative inspection plain to all the major organizations on the campus including Student Council for approval. With the exception of Student Council, every or ganization approached sanctioned tle plan ad elected the representatives from their grolp p rovided for in the 1rop)osal. 'I'he plan was then presented to the civilian male students who Iroteste(l. It Was then that the plan (due to an unavoidaIe delav in approaching Stu- - dent ('oulncil) was presented to the council. 'I'he counncil did not approve the plan and acused Stlent-fac"ulty of having no jutrisdic t ion to force such a systen on the student body. Apparently, it was forgotten that only the idea, not the approval or authorization, came from Student-Faculty. It was a further content ion of stulent council that this com mnittee had no authority to function whatso ever as it was not incmlded in the student body r i1stitutiton as now set 1i1p. F11r-ther criticism f'romt this group was that Student-laculty' hail not actolplishe<l the work it was set ip to pe'rformn. It has never been the a:;ssertioln or the desire ofI Studtent-1'act-y to f"unctionl with,e\onstitn tirl dlelve<l ;antihority, It w;as organlizedl in I1::I lnler the atspices of the YMCA to spot the needs and problems of tle I'niversity w:1141 to work through the autlhorities concerned to reoinniend the needeti changes. It has not deviated in anv instance froit this cuiurse If it is necessary to reply to stu<Lent, council's hairge of stuient facultv's inertia. we will reminl that group of the wvork( done since our" org;unz"ationt.
