The PSGL platform, released yesterday, includes proposals for organized freshman class meetings and a Freshman Day of athletic contests songs, and eats, to be climaxed by an informal dance.
The complete platform is as follows:
"PSGL believes that freshman interests will best be served by unflying freshman spirit:
"PSGL proposes to plan a Freshman Day which could include athletic contests, a songfest and feed, climaxed by an informal dance.
"PSGL believes in a strong R.O.- T.C., and will support any movement to extend training facilities to meet the increased enrollment.
"PSGL proposes that the Jayhawker should be included in the present increased activity fee.
"PSGL, in line with its former policy, endorses the continued efforts of the Endowment assocation and student groups in obtaining more men's dormitories to further the opportunities of freshman men.
"PSGL believes that a cooperative book store managed by and for the students should be instituted on this campus in order to provide books and supplies at a reduced rate. "PSGL pledges to continue its established policy of representing the independent and working students."
