Kavanna President
of N.E. Chairmen
At the annual convention
of New England social Chairmen, held at Harvard Law School on Monday, our
own concert Chairman, Will Kavanna, was elected president.
His formal title is
President of the New England Congress of College Social and Concert Chairmen
and he will head up the activities of that organization. He is a
third year senior, majoring in economics and finance here at Babson College.
Present at the
convention were Social chairmen from forty-one New England colleges and
universities.

The organization was
formed two years ago in an effort to co- ordinate the social activities
of New England colleges so that they belonging to this organization iswould
not have conflicting social events. The major benefit by that it
gives individual schools more buying and bargaining power when dealing
with entertainment or hotel man- agement. This is the first year
Babson has participated.
This year, under Kavanna’s
leadership, the Congress plans to publish a booklet listing all reputable
entertainment agents, managers and hotels worthy of college trade.
It is hoped that banding together will bring fairer prices to college buyers.
Until recently the colleges were being charged relatively high prices and
were unfairly treated in contracts.
The Congress plans
to have inter-college concerts. Babson is indeed fortunate and proud
to be a member of such an organization.
