P. B. H. '43 GROUP HOLDS YARD MANAGEMENT BAD

Action pointing toward "great democratization" in Freshman affairs will probably be the result of a current investigation of Student Council appointments in the Yard, it was announced yesterday by Evan Calkins '43, chairman of the investigating committee.

The survey, which is being conducted by the Freshman Committee of Phillips Brooks House, has so far consisted of interviews with past officers of the Freshmen class and of functions such as the Smoker and Jubilee Committees, the Union Committee, and the Red Book.

"Too Much Appointing"

Most of the suggestions made to the committee indicate that there has been "too much appointing and not enough electing" in the past, according to Calkins. One of the former organizational; heads was quoted as saying "the best men we had were the ones we elected ourselves."

The question of holding class elections this year is still undetermined, Calkins reported, as the Council has not yet decided whether the veto of '42 is valid for succeeding Freshman classes. Re pointed out, however, that one of the aims of the committee is to find out "what useful purpose" such elections serve.

Other Freshmen on the committee are Norman Meyer, William W. Pinney, Frank H. Poole, William MeN. Band, and Robert B. Sherwood.
