Student Council Postpones Plan For Trust Fund

After extensive debate, the Student Council last night tabled a proposal to work for the establishment of a trust fund. Interest from the fund would be used to finance Council activities.

Several Council members favored the establishment of the trust fund, presumably on the basis of grants from the Dean's Office. "We need student ideas, not student money," Larry B. Ekpebu '60 said. "Most people would be pleased to be relieved of donating."

A plan to continue solicitation and to establish a trust fund--both of which would provide 50 per cent of the Council's annual budget, was proposed by Harry M. Lindquist '52. "A trust fund would provide a continuum, while solicitation would sustain student interest," he maintained.

However, Stefan D. Abrams '60, treasurer of the Council, opposed Lindquist's proposal. "Students give money only because they are the sole support of the Council. Their incentive to donate would be markedly cut down by any plan in which the Deans office would provide funds."

Committee Discussion Delayed

Discussion on the proposed Committee System, outlined in the Council's Reevaluation Report, was also delayed until next week. Under this new system, all groups of College organizations would have a Council coordinator. This coordinator would serve as a liaison between groups with similar purposes, such as political clubs.
