The plan was submitted in the form of a request first to the Dean of Administration and later to the President's office, according to Helow. It was then referred to the faculty. "A student committee was ap pointed by the student council to appear before the faculty Wednes day afternoon in support of the con vocations plan," Helow stated. "The committee requested permission last Monday to appear at the faculty meeting. They were notified Wed nesday afternoon, shortly before the faculty convened, that it would be impossible for them to present their petition because of the meeting's "40 ied program." "I.'along with the entire student body, am extremely disgubied to have a plan, which we the students consider so important, this long de ferred from action," the student body president continued. *We fully appreciate the tremendous prob lems and responsibilities confront ing the administration, but-feel that within an approximate ten months our request should have been acted upon." Helow went on to describe the ad vantage to both faculty and stu dents of such meetings as proposed. He asserted that this would not only cement better relations among and between the two groups, but would he an opportunity for mak ing announcements, promoting in terest in local, national, and inter national affairs, as well as provid ing cultural entertainment. "We plan to engage speakers and artists for these convocations," he explained, "in conjunction with the local music festivals, book forums, etc. This could be easily arranged, but any such ar'rangements neces sitate making plans far in adv'ance. Hence, the expediency of taking action on the plan immediately." "It is important that all students be present at the meeting today," H-elow ur'ged. Since November of 1943, the Uni versity has not sponsored a regu lar chapel period. Formerly chapel programs were held weekly. The system was abandoned in order to cope with war time accellera iron.
