The post-war rejuvenatioh of the Carleton Stu- dent Association may now be judged accomplished, Taking a lesson from the general apathy towards student government demonstrated under a CSA which attempted to handle all business in Swiss- like mass meetings in past years, Bob Henderson and his co-workers have attempted to bring the organization of CSA closer to our own national tradition of representative government. The House of Representatives, headed by the president of CSA and consisting ot members elected by 29 resi- dential units of the student body, is now equipped ta handle the great majority of problems relating to student government, Only two issues, the forma- tion of the new Civil Rights committee and the highly controversial Philomathian-Adelphic ques- tion, were referred to a general vote of the student body during the first semester. ln addition to two well-established aims of con- ventional student government, training in political procedure and the organization of student opinions HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FIRST SEMESTER First row: Sloan, Erickson, Minar, Kennedy, Varco, Spurgin Second row: Frase, M.

The chairmen of nine standing committees and of two recently-organized temporary committees, which represent every phase of student activity, naw farm the Cabinet of the CSA. The increase in unity effected by the new arrangement has already made itself felt in a more coherent scheme of large-scale planning of student activities. The organizational limit of efficiency of the new CSA now seems to have been achieved, It reflects a great deal of credit upon its engineers. The new leaders, already in possession of the necessary machinery, should be able to make the Carleton Student Association an even more im- portant supplement to academic education than it has been in the past.

STUDENT FACULTY COUNCIL By the looks of the picturef the Student-President Gould committee is a bit one-sided, however, when the three deans, Miss Beasley, and Miss Coulter are in attendance, the ratio of six faculty to ten students a bit more representative. Everything from a share-the-profits plan for conserving electricity to the matter of making the arb a state game reserve is discussed a these informal meetings under the chairman- ship of President Gould. This is not an all-powerful law-making body but rather one which discusses matters of interest to the Carleton community and makes recommendations concerning these matters' to the proper organizations. The past year the group has heard Tom Morgan belabor the societies, Dean Kille deliver an address on the merits of Comprehensives, Doris Grieser and Louise Lee fight for more liberal women's rules, some of Dr. Gould's best iokes, and many other controversial items. The Student- Faculty committee pays rich dividends to the entire educational community of students, faculty, and administration. COLLEGE ACTIVITIES COLLEGE ACTIVITIES COUNCIL The College Activities Council has been active this year in helping to coordinate the social activities of the school so that they are more completely within the aims of the college as o whole. The committee is made up of student representatives from the maior social organizations, and faculty and administration representatives, Miss Coulter, Miss Gill, Deon Lewis, Dean Jarcow, Dean Flint, and Dr. May. The group, working in committees, attempted to draw together the odds and ends of social policy and start on a con- structive policy of organizing and making them meaningful and consistent. It has initiated temporary rules in situations which demand immediate decisions and has recommended the type of rules which it feels should be decided upon in the future. Through personal interviews and discussions with club members and various active groups, the Council has tried to help those organizations re-evaluate their aims and purposes. Most important of all is the Council's report to the Executive Committee of the Faculty concerning the type and amount of social activity which is being carried on and its recommendations to this group for their study and re-evaluation of the entire extracurricular program at Carleton. Members of the council pictured above are: Palmer, H. McCarthy, Kenyon, Cuddeback, Gill, Balich, Meier, Busch, Olson, Naylor. gl 'W'X -he it gn uf 'fr
