Glee Club Weighs New Song Group Of Cut Freshmen

Freshmen not making the Glee Club may have a choral group of their own next year, it was learned yesterday. A special Glee Club committee is now considering plans for such a group to prepare some first-year students for later membership in the varsity singing society.

Members unanimously ratified a revised constitution for the club at a meeting Thursday, before discussing the new plan.

Under the projected two-club system, some freshmen who are now cut from the Glee Club in the fall would get concert experience in the new group, explained Edmund P. Allison 4G, chairman of the reorganization committee and assistant director of the club. Membership in the proposed group would not insure future election to the Glee Club.

"We hope it will become a strong singing organization in its own right, not just a collection of castoffs," said Allison. He pointed out that the number of applicants for the Glee Club rises each year, and that because of the club's limited membership many good singers are turned down.

Need for a provision clarifying the club's status with the Bureau of Internal Revenue was one reason for the revision of the constitution. The original constitution contained no clause stating the club was a non-profit organization.

Under the provisions of the original constitution there was nothing requiring the presence of a quorum for transaction of official business. A clause remedying this situation was among a number of important changes in the document.
