One factor in the coed set-up, a special $1 women's fee. has been under attack for some time.

Page Dees, who resigned as chairman of the investigating committee in protest against the 'complete inefficiency" of coed government, said yesterday the campus "cfeserves to have complete information on all phases of the case" involving the "questionable" items in the coed budget. Meanwhile, Chairman Knight charged that Miss Dees, as previous chairman of the committee, had failed to call a meeting until the beginning of the third out of four weeks allotted for the investigation. She continued, "No considerations were given to class schedules of the members, therefore there was a very small attendance." Miss Dees had charged previously that the Coed senate kept no copies of its bills, by-laws, resolutions or constitution. In answer to that, Miss Knight retorted that Miss Dees might look into the files in the Women's Honor council room. "Granted that they may not be in the best of order," she said, "I will long contend that they do exist.

"In fact," she added, "I wrote one myself!" In reply to other charges made by Miss Dees, Miss Knight quipped, I shall not answer the other charges of inefficiency because that would really cause us to resort to name-calling."

However, he said changing standards would not be easy for people today are more interested in improving their state of living than their personalities. There will have to be a whole new world constructed on a new purpose with education having the major role and religion employed as the background of the new program.

After World War Dr. Wood said the position of women changed drastically. The war changed the complete social picture and women emerged from the war with added responsibilities and inadequate training. Confusion and tension arose in the next three decades. The confusion was the result of the attempt to fit new issues into old patterns, he continued, and women face the same situation today as the result of World War II.

The only answer to present-day questions is to prepare people for a richer, fuller life. And the answers for today's questions will not come from the science laboratories but from the halls of religion, Dr. Wood said. GOP Club Backs Government Week The Young Republican club endorsed Mayor R. W.

Joan was aiding officials of the Women's Intercollegiate Government forum by setting up a housing registration desk in Nash dormitory, where the delegates are staying. Naturally, she got confused and set up her office across the street in the hallway of Miller which is still in use as a men's dormitory. She didn't realize anything was peculiar, even when she saw several men in the building, until she called to them, "Let's get this place cleaned up the girls are coming." thundered back a chorus of male voices. Whereupon one of the more chivalrous dorm residents picked up Joanie's entire "office" and carted it over to Nash hall.

In fact, the dummy, named Tommy, is putting her through college. The girl, 21 -year-old Bernice Liberatore, is a third generation ventriloquist. But she doesn't like the atmosphere of show business. So she has become an entertainer in hopes that it will make her spot in the theatrical world a little better. "Show people are too wrapped up in their own affairs," she said.

"They only think about themselves. That's too bad because there is so much to be appreciated in the world." Miss Liberatore said she didn't want to miss anything that was going on and that's where Tommy comes in.
