Working Students Elect Committee for Organization
Group Will Investigate Present Conditions Before Drafting Constitution
A temporary executive committee of 12 members was elected to form a constitution for an organization of the self-supporting students of the University by a group of 44 students who are wholly or partially self-supporting, at a meeting last night. The constitution will be drawn up after an investigation of conditions maintaining such organizations, and will be approved by the whole group. "The banding of working students will enable them to afford social functions and to get acquainted," Wray Choate, c'35, one of the chief promoters of the organization, explained to the group.
"There are some students that I know of, in small groups, who know of jobs that they are unable to accept because of inability to perform the work, or because they are busy at the time. With an acquaintance of other working students, they will be able to position the student in one when they know will perform capability the work desired." he continued.
Means will be provided to investigate present working conditions and to get facts on the number of hours actually spent in working for meals and board. Neither the students nor the employers now know what is the fair number of hours to work for meals and board. With the compiling of these facts, a "happy mean" may be determined, according to Choate.
Henry Werner, Mrs. Dora Bryant, and Fred Ellsworth are interested in the organization of such a group, it was reported at the meeting. Mr. Ellsworth remarked that it would not be fair to favor organization students by being assigned to a position for a position turned in by a member should be given to another member.
The members of the executive council are as follows: Helen Goode, c³4 Dorothy Johnston, c³5 Evangeline Clark, c³5 Lila Anderson, c³3 Helen Holmes, Kaili Keidallah, cauldron Walsh Shoe, c³5 John Arnold, c³6 Wray Choate, c³5 Alfred White, c³4 Harry Foster, c³4 and James Polkinghorn, c³6.
