Dean Leonard expressed concern over the probable effect of this proposal on the future program and traditions of Woman's League. Professor Doland and Dean T u r n e r stated that the objective of the reorganization recommended by the Student Affairs Committee is to improve the administration of student activities by eliminating duplication of functions and authority. T h e plan does not propose to eliminate Woman's League as a student activity but redefines its status within the general framework of all undergraduate student organizations whose activities are in any way related to the functions of the Illini Union. Moreover, Professor Doland pointed out that no student organization may be autonomous, but under University Statutes all are subject to jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. President Willard stated that he recommends approval of the proposed reorganization of the Illini Union Board, as outlined in the plan herein submitted, which is the only question requiring consideration by the Board of Trustees, and that all other matters discussed properly come within the official purview of the Senate Committee. Your Committee recommends approval of the reorganization of the Illini Union Board, as proposed herein, and suggests that the Senate Committee on Student Affairs give further consideration to the activities of Woman's League in recognition of its forty-five years of service as a student organization.
