Arab Club And Fair Play For Cuba Given Provisional Class B Status

Two MIT organizations were granted Provisional Class B status at the Wednesday night meeting of the Activities Council this week. The two groups are the Arab Club and an organization known as "Fair Play for Cuba."

The Arab Club was organized formally in October of 1958 at MIT. Its planned program for the future includes dinners con- sisting of traditional Arabic dishes, lectures on problems of the modern Arab world by reputable speakers, including MIT alumni, and a number of debates of a political nature. A special speaker scheduled for February 28 is to be announced at a later date. The officers of the society are: President, Rurik Halaby; Vice-President, Qais Fattah; and Secretary-Treasurer, Imad Ta- her.

The Fair Play for Cuba group plans to undergo thorough or- ganizational procedures at the beginning of the second semes- ter, at which time its first dis- cussion session; will be held. A permanent slate of officers will also be elected at that time.

First- Term Grade Reports To Be Mailed February 2 First-term grade reports will be mailed to the term addresses of all students on Thursday eve- ning, February 2. The report may be sent to the student at a different address if he calls at the Registrar's Of- fice no later than January 27. Duplicate reports will be sent to the parents of all first-year students.

Transcripts will not be pre- pared after January 27 until the week of February 20, 1961. Or- ders should be placed now.
