This committee meets regularly on Mondays to discuss a whole range of issues — from simple administrative issues through to policy issues relating to the campus. Thus, the administrative problems are resolved by joint efforts that make everybody feel a part of a big united family and develop a team playing sense. Contact Information 28, V.
