Class Organization To Get Overhaul
By LEONA (GOLDSTEIN' Daily Trojan Feature Editor
A radical rearrangement of alumni and class structure will bp proposed at today’s ’59 Club meeting when President Mike Donohew ioinc Senior Class President Abe Somer in a motion 1o abolish ihe ’59 Club and renlaee it with an “alumni class” lhat will serve SC on a permanent basis.
After d’seussinc: plans with President Norman Topping. Donohew and Somer formulated their new program “to promote ? greater university through a stronger alumni association.” Limited Alumni
Condemning the concept of a limited alumni proim—inherent in the present *59 Club — the srnior loaders have declared that “every student who graduates from SC in February or J'ine of 1959 is a member of the cl^ss of 'r>9. Furthermore, they p>e responsible to SC and should actively participate in ihe class after graduation.”
The two seniors are promoting the establishment of a ‘‘living endowment” fund comprised of contributions from the graduates. Each alumnus will be a ked to make a minimum do-nntion -- $1.59 1he first year. ST59 the second year, and so on.
Living endowment dollars are to be spent for special projects - voted upon bv all contributors -—or on an individual basis. For example, a member of the alumni group might specify ihat his donation finance medical research. increase in professors’
salaries or beautification of the campus plant, Somer explained.
Proponents of the new plan claim it will enable every ex-Trojan to take part in alumni activities. Alumni who are pocket-poor hut spirit-rich will be able to donate their time to volunteer projects: working in the speech and hearing clinic, helping out the staff of the psychological service center, planning teas and other activities for future Trojanes.
A new group, to b*> known as “Who's Who in the Senior Class.” would replace the present '59 Club, under the revised sei-up. This honorary organization would elect 1o membership students who have rendered service to the university and had not been recognized by other campus honoraries. Somer says that 25 men and 25 women would be selected by a committee made up of the dean of students. dean of men, dean of women and student activities adviser.
“Here We Are"
Analyzing the present postgraduate situation. Donohew and Somer believe the university can take one of two approaches. There can be an attitude of “here we are. the SC Alumni Association, we need you. come to us:” or — and this is the alleged right road—“there you are. we need your support and will do whatever we can to accomplish this end.”
The senior leaders’ new program stems from the fact that ihev consider “the student leaving SC is now facing an alumni
Enrollment Figure Dips From Last Semester

Enrollment for both day and night classes is down to lb',596 from the fail semesters 17,891 latest figures from

association that is financially prohibitive and a class structure that is incompent to function after graduation.”
Under the new regime, the senior class president would become a permanent officer, to function after graduation to bring his class close together and close to the university, Somer says.
Executive Committee During his senior year, the president would select several officers to function as a class executive committee. The first member of this cabinet-like structure would be Chairman of j Alumni Activities, who would coordinate activities and represent his class on the executive committee of the General Alumni Association.
Homecoming and Alumni Day j representatives would arrange j for post-graduation participa- j tion; Class News Editor would | publish semi-annual newsletters ; and a class directory and the Class Secretary would head a correspondence committee.
Donohew and Somer under- j scored the fact that every student graduating in 1959 shall j be considered a member of the Class of ’59, and hence on the mailing list.
Yearly Donations Class Fund-Raising Chairman j is to be in charge of the yearly | minimum donations; three mem-bers-at-large would serve on any special project that might develop during their term; and the Class of ’59 president will serve as a permanent member. Rounding out the executive committee would be two ex-officio members — the president of the university and the vice president of student, alumni and athletic affairs.
The committee shall operate for a four-year term, at the close of which they would select their successors, subject to the approval of the entire class.
In regard to alumni structure, Donohew and Somer contend that “The General Alumni Association should accept a representative of every graduating
