Dougherty, Moomaw, Ligcre, Alexander, Rockwell, Meyer MEN'S LEAGUE Men's League represents the men students to the administration and faculty by acting as a mediator, bringing the problems and suggestions of the men students to their attention, As a subdivision of the Carleton Student Association, Men's League co-operates fully with that organization, but functions independently in handling men's problems. During the year the Men's League was fairly active on the campus. lt bought a number of new records for Burton dining rooms, subsidized a party for the Pine l-lillers, and co-sponsored the weekly student-faculty teas, lt is now preparing a handbook for freshmen entering in the fall. Another important function of Men's League is the establishment of a court in the fall to enforce the Carleton traditions that frosh men students are expected to uphold. This year's Men's League Court did a good job of enforcing these traditions, as many a wayward frosh with an injured dignity can testify The proctors, also under Men's League, were the Dean's agents for law preserva- tion and acted as big brothers to the frosh, As such they found it difficult to resist the temptation of the frequent water fights and room stockings, But the fact that the dorms are still standing is a tribute to their allegiance. Proctors shown above are: First row: Odonaka, Wright, Alexander, Gainey, Priebe, Ligare, Second row: Daugherty, Wilson, l-lacklander, Manthey, Busch. f? if 3 'l is m B ta I 'ff me

The committee was instrumental in setting up a CSA Foreign Student Aid com- mittee on campus and helped lay the groundwork with USNSA in cooperating with President Truman's Commission on Displaced Persons in bringing displaced persons to the colleges of Minnesota. ln December, Carleton was appointed as the Western Area Headquarters tor the USNSA l-luman Relations Subcommission. In cooperation with the Carleton Civil Rights committee, the subcommission aided other colleges in this area to set up similar Civil Rights committees. A Minnesota College Arts Exhibit was assembled and circulated throughout the schools ot Minnesota under the direc- tion ot the Carleton NSA committee, The committee disseminated information on USNSA toreign travel and study programs and through its ettorts it helped approxi- mately twenty Carleton Students to participate in these programs abroad. In addi- tion, Carleton has been the seat of the National and International Commissions of the Minnesota NSA Region during the year, This coming August, tour Carleton delegates will represent the CSA at the second annual USNSA National Student Congress where students representing the nation's colleges will meet to plan programs and policies for USNSA and its member student governments tor the following year.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE Women's League, the social and judicial arbiter of the East side,- this year launched forth on on enthusiastic and ambitious program. The Court and Cabinet cooperated to fulfill the twofold purpose of the League, to maintain the high standards of Carleton and to coordinate the activities of the women students. The Cabinet sponsored such functions as Student-Faculty teas, the Big Sister program and the Scholarship Dinner. League publications include the freshman handbook and a comprehensive book of rules for women students, To keep in touch with similar women's organizations, the president-elect jour- neyed to an l.A.W.S. convention at the University of New Mexico and League officers planned social meetings with representatives of the St. Olaf women's organization. Reaching out beyond campus boundaries, the Women's League supported a war orphan, Adriana Van de Hoek, and gave a scholarship to provide necessary spending money for a foreign woman student at Carleton. Also under the Women's League are the Junior Heads, led by Lois Kennedy, who kept Gridley ticking and the freshman women on their toes, The Junior heads pictured below are: First row: Piatt, Lee, Mead, Second row: Marvel, Kennedy, Grocker, Thompson, Robinson, Third row: Bennett, Larsen, Varco, Cuddeback.
