The situation was discussed at a recent Student Affairs Committee meeting. The proposed constitution of the Backdoor, sponsored by the Interfaith Council, was presented and discussed. Baxter Wood, Student Center Director, called attention to the fact that plans are being made for a similar type of organization In the new Student Union next year. In an Interview, Wood said that the set-up for next year is a night club type of organization with a small cover charge. In relation to the Backdoor, which has an entirely different atmosphere than a night club, Wood said, "I'm glad it has gone over as well as it has. I hope that we can continue it." He indicated that the Student Senate may attempt to continue it somewhere. Dean Huskins discussed the functions of the Interfaith Council and raised the question, 'Is this type of activity within the framework of the Interfaith Council?" He also indicated the problem of financing. Father Frank Korzinek proposed that the Interfaith Council should try to promote religious ideals through sources other than clergy. He also stated the need for a meeting place for free discussion among students and faculty in an informal atmosphere. Rev. George Weekley, Director of the Wesley Foundation, stated a need for a place for students to meet, and to go when dating, especially after movies and other places In the area have closed. There was suggestion and discussion of a trial period to evaluate student interest in this activity. A letter from J. B, Bennett, Assistant to the Dean, discussing the problems as to the extent of venture, availability of faculty supervision and Interest of students was read. The motion was made that the Backdoor Coffeehouse constitution be approved, as amended, BAXTER WOOD and that this organization operate on a trial basis for the remainder of the Spring Quarter. At the end of this period, an evaluation will be held to determine its feasibility and future. Dean Bennett stated that whether toe Backdoor will continue next year or not will be up to the results of a study of the situation. 'It is so indefinite that one couldn't say right now," he said, The Interfaith Council presently sponsors the Coffeehouse through an appointed and invited Board of Directors. Presley Creery, a Board member said, "I think lt is a good thing—one that the students here need The turnout has been exceptionally good, and I would like to see lt continue next year if at all possible." Many students have questioned the board memi^ers as to the possibilities of opening the coffeehouse in the future. Discussion of this topic was held in relation to other questions about the coffeehouse at a recent Interfaith Council meeting. It Is hoped by all members working, that the Backdxw will be a prominent figure In future CONTINUED, page 12 SYLVA FLOWER SHOP Would Like To Congratulate All 7967 Western Graduates THE BOOK STORE Students And 3aculfy.ll/e Welcome IJou So See Out Cztest Selection Of Spring Cards And gifts In Sylva U.
