social teachings of the Church in the various departments has by no means been solved. This confer­ence could go a long way in clar­ifying the issues.

"On Other Campuses"(Ed. Note: This feature each

month presents news from other college campuses. Edited from material prepared by the Inter­collegiate Press Service, it is as lenghty as space limitations permit.)

Notre Dame,Ind. - (I.P.)-student Council's proposal for a "tricoun­cil" of administration, faculty, and student representatives was released here recently, follow­ing its acceptance by Sister Maria Renata, president of St. Mary's College.Observing that often students

misinterpret or misrepresent fac­ulty or administration views, fac­ulty are unable to clarify admin­istration policy for students,and students have difficutly making their views understood by faculty; Council proposed a nine-member council of the three groups.Tentative plans call for the

council to sit as a conference rather than a decision-making body, whenever one of the group submits an agenda that warrants meeting. Chairman would be the President of the College or the Vice-President in her absence.The proposal also designates the Pres­ident or Vice-President, Dean of Studies, and Dean of Students as administration representatives; representatives of the liberal arts, and sciences as faculty mem­bers; and the Student Council Pres­ident, Academic Commissioner, and Treasurer(first semester)or past Council President(second semester) as student representatives. The proposal also calls for a Student Council faculty moderator, chosen by the student Council from admin­istration nominees, who would serve as Tri-Council permanent secretary.
