scholarship of
$500 established

Seniors to receive
diplomas on June 4
In a brief two hour session of the ISB-student council re-vision
committee in Mrs. Huseboe's office, the persons present
discussed possibilities of revision in the ISB constitution and
rush. One of the topics was a change in ISB membership. This
would involve the president of a society being a representative
on ISB as well as the immediate past president. The present
president would cast the vote for the society. If a society lacks
representation at more than three meetings, the society would
lose its vote.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION
coming from this meeting was
the formation of a Board of
Review consisting of the
executive council of ISB and
four ISB representatives. This
board would arbitrate and/or
mediate disputes between
societies and questionable or
unrepresentative actions of
societies. Decisions of this
board would be subject to
approval by the ISB.
The ISB will be undergoing
extensive revision next year,
handling disciplinary action
which until now has been more
or less the burden of the ad-ministration.
Meetings between the ad-ministration
and ISB are being
planned for next fall to in-crease
communication, pro-mote
understanding and clar-ify
certain issues pertinent
to the societies and the ad-ministration.
The revisions will continue
to appear when the committee
convenes again early in the
fall to compile, share and
evaluate the ideas they have
had during the summer. They
would appreciate any sug-gestions
and criticisms of the
aforementioned items and
ideas for next year's rush pro-gram.
Please place these sug-gestions
in the suggestion
box at the Commons desk.

An Indian student scholar-ship
of $500 was established
by Wednesday's student
council vote. The association
gave a vote of support and
confidence to the Student
Chest proposal.
The Student Chest, in
cooperation with the Augustana
Indian recreation program
committee, will solicite
contributions to the yearly
fund not to exceed $500 for
use in the payment of fees,
tuition, room, board or books
of the student selected
through the regular Augustana
scholarship procedure after
acceptance at Augustana
through the normal admissions
channels.
THIS SCHOLARSHIP SHALL
be used to assist a South
Dakota Indian student, who,
once he is selected, shall be
the yearly recipient of this
award not to surpass four
years, provided good finances
continue. In the event that
this student fails to maintain
a 2.0 or "C" average at the
end of each academic year,
another Indian student shall
be selected as the recipient.
Jim Rye also stated that
the Student Chest exceeded
its financial goal of $1,500
after the completion of many
projects like student pledges,
beard shaving, meal book
matching and dances.
