In studying the situation the cammlctea llrst tried to find why the cluhs wore not functlonlDg as they should, I'hey decided chui the purpose of the clubs Is to pol ish stuilentB in subjects otiier than tUeir major nnd minor os well as to create more Interest Id their oliosen Held- The committee (ound that too many of the progriiins were uuinterestlns, and were pre* sented like clnss loctnrcs. One rea son for lack of Interest was at tributed to the fact that many stu dents Joined clubs in order to Im press their major department. Restricted memborsiiip clubs proved tu bu mure active than others. Those clubs with the best pragrama were also more suc cessful. The committee gave sevarnl sug gestions for eoiving the problem of non-aotlve membei'e.
