Delta Theta, $5.94; Chi Psi, $5.24:

corded show that over $1520 must

be sufficient to complete the quota
The representatives in each
house are reminded to bring th«
contributions to the cabinet room
of the YMCA, Friday, between 1
and 2, when Lionel Domreis will
issue receipts and collect funds.
Drafters of
Constitution
On Program
Ed Allen, who last year was
elected president of the Uni
versity student body on his
platform of ASUO govern
mental reform comprising a
program of student representa
tion in a heretofore untried
University Congress, will open
today’s assembly at 11 a.m. in
McArthur court.
The purpose of the assembly ig
to answer inquiries of many stu
dents and faculty members as to
the actual workings of the new
plan of student government as
outlined in the revised ASUO con
stitution published in Tuesday’s
Emerald.
Over 30 letters from stu
dents protesting the present
revision of the ASUO consti
tution chiefly on the grounds
of insufficient power invested
in the student government .
were received by Emeraltf
Editor Louise Montag Wed- *
nesday. >
Examples of these letters '
appear today on the editorial
page.
Open Discussion
Discussion between the audience
and members of the committee,
which drafted the constitution will
follow brief explanations of the
most debated provisions of the new •
set-up.
The system of representation pro
posed in the new plan of the Uni
versity Congress will be explained
by Jack Craig, ASUO vice-presi
dent. Craig will show that the
present system of class represen
tation on the ASUO executive
council is inadequate and that
representation according to living- .
organization and specific groups
is a more fair and democratic gov
ernmental form.
Issues Explained
Marguerite Wittwer, Emerald,
managing editor, will briefly out
line the organization of the Con
gress as a legislative body.
The* duties of ASUO officers
will be defined by Anita
Young, senior representative
on the executive council. Con

organizations to first reach 100
per cent in ticket sales. Other

Any representative of a living
organization to reach 100 per cent
