Ma ny new members were present for the opening session. These men are new stud ents at St. Viator and from a.ll appearances they will ably fill the places of those who graduated last June. Several important matters were brought up a nd discussed at the meeting. The annual insurance fee of the club r eceived its s hare of" the discussion. A motion r egarding a dance to be he ld so metim e in October was entertai ned and passed. Action upon t he mOtion, however, wa.s ·delayed pending the preceedings of the College Cl ub Advisory ·Council. A motion that the selection of cheer leaders for th e year be left to the Advisory Board was passed. T h e idea of chartering a bus for the Marquette-Viator game was introduced and wide ly debated . A vote , taken in order to determine whether or not enough studen ts wou ld make the t rip to warrant the hiring of the bus, re sulted in t he failure of the suggestion.
