EXECUTIVE COUNCIL First Row: Broaddus. Eqger, LeHew, Kesler. Second Row: T. Lewis, Korns. M. Ives. Those never-to-be-forgot+en business meetings, which all women were required to attend, were held on the first Monday of each month. Social rules, projects and campus announcements were presented at such times. Handling all the official business of the Association, the Executive Council conducted these monthly meetings. This branch of WSCGA was composed of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, senior and freshmen representatives and a representative-at-large. In 1953-54, Pres ident Anne Lehew conducted several success- ful projects. Informal meetings were held for new students during orlentatlon week; the student directory sale was conducted, and a one hundred dollar scholarship was awarded to a sophomore woman. A reception was given following the first concert presented in the College Concert Series. Since WSCGA is part of the campus-wide Student Government, an effort was made for closer support of all Student Govern- ment plans. I I I r I r A -II- LJ Advising WSCGA during the past year were Dr. hiarold L. Fowler, Dr. William H. McBurney, and Dr. Travis L. Summersgill. The wit of the inhabitants of the WSCGA suite in Barrett and the committee meetings conducted by Pew In the Williamsburg Restaurant combined to make Women Students ' Government Increasingly popular!

: 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.

PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE If the Student Body were to have wise leadership, it was important that they have good editors of their publications. They must be well qualified before being allowed to voice the sentiments of the group. The problem of selection lay in the hands of a standing committee of the Student Government, the Publications Committee. Every year this important group must select from the nominations made by the staffs of the student publications, their future editors and business managers. The committee carrying this responsibility in 1953-54 was composed of COLONIAL EChHO Editor, John Westberg; Flat Hat Editor, Arnold Lubasch; Royalist Editor, Carol Butters; Student Government Presi- dent Cary Scates: Mr. Charles H. Anderson; Mr. Alexander Kallos, and Chairman Bar- bara Crosset, who was elected to that position by the Student Assembly. The Publications Committee reviewed the qualifications and grades of the candi- dates for Flat hiat positions in December, as these positions are effective from February to February. The committee then was Introduced to each candidate and afterwards selected the staff. This procedure was repeated for the COLONIAL ECHO and Royalist in the Spring. Editors and business managers of the publica- tions had to have a quality point average of not less than 1.4 to be considered by the Publications Committee. Such problems were considered by this committee as the salaries paid by the College to the chief editors and business managers, and the lowering of the scholastic requirements. In the past year, the Publications Committee maintained the traditional policy of guiding the activities of the three students publications. However, the principle of individual freedom in editorial policy was observed, leaving this strictly to the indi- vidual publications and the feelings and opinions of the editors. Mr. Kallos.
