The recommendation made
December 6 by the Student Ac
tivities committee, composed of
members of the -student body
and faculty having active con
nection with student activities,
for the formation of a student
auditing board will be acted
upon by the student body at an
election Tuesday, February 9.
The board would be composed
of two faculty members to be
appointed by President Frank
P. Graham, to serve for a period
of two years, and three members
of the student body. The presi
dent of the student body is to be
an ex-officio member, while at
least one of the other two is to
be a junior to serve two years,
making only one student mem
ber to be selected after the first
year.
No salaries are to be paid the
regular members, but where
professional auditing services
are necessary they are to be paid
by organizations requiring' such
services. At the end of each
fiscal year in April the reports
are to be completed, and those
desirable are to be published in
The Daily TarJIeel.
The jurisdiction of the board
is mandatory over all accounts
