Student Council Cancels Annual At the weekly meeting of the Student Council held on March 6, the council voted t o cancel all plans to have a 1950 annual. The sad decision was fo rced upon the council by lack of student financial support of the 1950 Mirror in terms of subscriptions. Investigation of current expenses showed that of the minimum of 100 annuals needed to insure a yearbook, only 62 were bought by students and faculty. A generous offer of the Governing Board to pr ovide $100 to purchase 25 copies still left 13 books unsold. In view of the large student body debt still remaining from last year's publication, as well as the low state of current funds, it was decided that additional liabilities could not be incurred. Students and faculty who have already made deposits on their books will have the money refunded at a date to be announced later.
