r v Jrik ■ EXECUTIVE EDITOR Robert Bowman BUSINESS MANAGER Sydney Eisenberg H W FACULTY ADVISEE Miss Newsome K Beginning as a monthly in 1919, the Echo Weekly has climbed to a place of distinction among college and university publications. In 1936-37, for the second successive year, it was judged one of the seven Pacemaker papers by the Associated Collegiate Press asso- ciation. The Columbia Scholastic Press association during the past two years has given the Echo Weekly a first class rating, highest honor given by this association. A total of 935 points out of a possible 1000 were awarded. This association has cited the Echo Weekly edi- torials as the best in the United States, the title All-Columbian be- ing affixed to them. Eight hundred college and university papers are judged annually by this association. While serving as a news ex- change and a general informant to the college, the Echo Weekly is the training ground for future advisers of secondary and elementary school papers. Any student interested in writing is encouraged to be- come a reporter for the weekly. Promotions are made each semester by the executive editor, who is elected for a year by the editorial boaro with the approval of the publications committee. PUBLICATION

COMMITTEE OF COMMITTEES 2. Oilman, Eckenrod, Colby, Johnson, Himmelmann, Cunningham, Wood. 1. Stevens, Wolfi, Shinners, Vetter; Leider, Bringe. M M N W E A L T H The Commonwealth, student governing body, was organized in 1923, with collection and budgeting of the finances of all extra-curricular activities as its chief function. Students, representing the six divisions of the college, and four faculty members compose the executive board. The president and vice-president are also popularly elected. Each vice-president automatically becomes chairman of the Commit- tee of Committees, which in turn appoints the members of the 17 sub-committees. All social affairs, athletic and club expenditures, contracts and policies of publications, building and ground regula- tions, and student welfare are controlled by the committees. The Commonwealth also conducts all elections, approves appointments to committees, and enacts rules and by-laws of the school. Any stu- lent in the college may attend sessions of the executive board and speak on the floor, although he may not vote. COMMONWEALTH
