Approximately 400 'Cliffedwellers jammed the Agassiz Theater for yesterday's Student Government mass meeting, but they weren't enough.
With fewer than half the 921-girl student body voting yesterday afternoon, balloting on the issues raised at the meeting has been extended to span vacation week. Final votes will be gathered during the week of April 5, and official results will be released before April 10. A majority of the entire college must vote for any proposition to pass it.
Only the secretary's report went uncontested at yesterday's meeting. Cheers, applause, an occasional floating sandwich wrapper, and lively debate from the floor punctuated discussion of the status of the N.S.A. delegate, the $12 Student Activity Fee, and permanent compulsory subscription to the Radcliffe News.
Both Sides Speak
Speaking for the student fee, Luretta Davis '49, treasurer of Student Government, said, "Under the new long-range fee, students would buy for $12 that for which they now pay $17.25."
Jane Connor '51, president of the Freshman Class, spoke for opposing Annex factions. "The real scholar who comes to Radcliffe for study only, would be paying for clubs and publications favored by a majority," she protested, and added tersely, "Clubs need members, too. You can't run clubs on money alone."
