The Senate The tribes of Juniata Valley held no more solemn conclaves around their council fires in the days of Alfarata, than do the big chiefsu of Juniata's student government Anno Domini 1939. Today, however, they call themf selves the Juniata Student Senate. They have abandoned the hatchets in their belts for fountain pens in their pockets, their bright feather head dresses for solemn black gowns, the leisurely silent smoking of the pipe of peace for an open forum of discussion that often seems not much less than pandeemonium. We did not receive an invitation to the meetings of this modern representation of the councilfhre gatherings of Indian days, but We did a little scouting at one of the meetings, which took place at least once a month during the school session. Dean Spencer, Dean Stayer, and Dr. Rockwell were the sachems of the tribe. Don Snider presided as chief of the young braves, Don Brumbaugh acting as his assistant. Caroline was industriously keepf ing a record of the proceedings, ME planning the heap big povvfvvovvs of the school year-Parent's Day, All' Class Night, and May Day. Bruby obviously had some' thing up her sleeve about another party. Eleanor and -.56 - -59 '25, Zap! 4 V U ,-.

Harvey were telling Roy that he should write an editorial making plans for the Volunteer Conference. Danny was asking just what should be done with Fresh' men who were so green, while Tom was getting in his two cents for the sake of sports. John Crawford kept a vigilant eye upon the supply of Wampum. So you see, there isn't a phase of campus life that is not duly repref sented in the meeting of the big chiefs. Wouldn't the brave Red Men have envied such a setfup? The purpose of the Senate is to prove our belief that men exist for each other, to demonstrate how participation by all classes in a common project promotes the general welfareg to train students in the fundamental theories and practices of government by giving them the responsibility for the performance of governmentg to inspire devotion to the social ideals and scholastic standards already established in Juniata College, and to create a desire to enrich them. Great aims, to be sure! Aims that this year's Senate has done its best to attain, aims that we are proud to pass on to those who will take up the task that this year's Senate must soon relinquish.
