: V ANN LEHEW President of WSCGA •i WOMEN S T U D E N T S ' COOPERATIVE GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION WSCGA meeting again tonight? Yes, WSCGA was clearly one of the best known organizations on campus. Divided into the HHonor Council, the Executive Council, and the Judicial Committee, the Women Students ' Co- operative Government Association continued to work toward their aims of promoting self-government, respon- sibility, and the best interest of the women students. The Judicial Committee formulated and maintained the social rules of the women students at William and Mary. This committee consisted of a chairman, secre- tary, representatives of each class, a representative-at- large, and all the house presidents. Also part of this group were the house committees from each dormitory. In 1953-54 this committee, under the capable leader- ship of Chairman Janice Ferrell, worked out the admin- istration of the revised social rules, using a merit system. Meetings were held to discuss the new rules with the women students, house mothers, and fraternity repre- sentatives. The Judicial Committee held two suppers for their faculty advisors and the deans, to discuss informally any business pertaining to the social rules. They also gave a tea for the house mothers and members of the adminis- tration of the College. uji JUDICIAL COUNCIL First Row: Collins, HoUaday. Springer, Thurau, Verra, Wildrnan. Staubs.
