Speaking at length, VanCamp outlined each proposal separately. Upon conclusion of each explana tion, the board discussed each plan and approved the adoption of each. Dr. William Troutman introduc ed something new in the way of executive procedure for the board Monday evening. The Faculty representative, who had been encouraged by the board earlier in the year to study the budgetary system of the coopera tive association, recommended that the entire executive group consti tute itself as a budgetary system committee. The board approved and withdrew from its official posi tion as governing body and became a special committee with the pur pose of organizing a new budgeta ry system for the fiscal year. The converted board-committee drew up a new plan for creating and presenting the annual associa tion budget in the Fall. After much discussion, the com mittee formulated the annual budgetary plan for recommenda tion and presentation at the next executive board meeting in Janua ry. Official action will be taken on the plan when the executive lead ers entertain the recommendation as the official governing board and not as a designated comjmittee. Though the method was new to many, several members expressed their desire to make use of the provision more often. Kenneth Bryan, Vice president of the cooperative association, pre siding in the absence of president David Smith, suggested that the board study the possibilities of hav ing a human relations seminar on the ACC campus. The Committee on committees was assigned the task of appointing a selective com mittee to study the possibilities. Tom,my Norvell, chairman of the cafeteria investigation committee, announced that a written report and analysis from president Wen ger’s office would be presented at the next board meeting. tournament December 13 the Bull dogs were scheduled to face some tough opposition which is expected to give an indication of how well they will do against real basket ball powers.
