The newly-elected senior class officers
have created what they think could
become a most effective and beneficial
of 10 completely new
committees, it is designed to involve the
entire senior class in many projects.
Lee Hood Capps, class president,
explained "the purpose ,of these
committees is to encompass all members
of the class of 72, so as not to limit class
identity to the four elected officers."
Capps said committee chairmen would
all be seniors, but any interested student
is eligible and encouraged to apply for an
interview next week to serve on a
committee.
One of the committees will deal with
fair housing. Headed by George Butler,
Capps termed it "the most vital and
far-reaching project of next year's senior
class officers."
The chief goal of the housing
committee would be the formation of a

Capps indicated more than 60 per cent
of the student body resides in
n on-University housing. The figure
includes 65 per cent of the senior class.
The class 'president was confident all
students living off campus would benefit
greatly from the work of Butler's group.
The Committee for the Advancement
of Minority and Disadvantaged Students
(AMDS) was cited by Capps as being the
most-needed of the 10 committees.
He said the new senior committee
would work in conjunction with existing
AMDS groups, providing financial
assistance as well as manpower.
Pat Wood and Jim "Hornstein of
Project Uplift have expressed their
willingness to assist the new committee as
it is incorporated into the current AMDS
program. t
Capps said the students who display
the keenest interest will receive first
priority in selecting members of the Fair
Housing and AMDS Committees.
