It was necessary first to guide the students into the proper attitude of reception for the Army Finance School unit located here on our own campus. In the course of time this attitude turned from a spirit of bewildered antagonism to a feeling of warm comradeship with unified purposes. It was also necessary to devise some means of replacing the students ' leisure activities which had heretofore been devoted to the entertaimiicnt places of Durham. The Council, with the cooperation of local authorities, directed these activities into more isolated areas in order to avoid the friction which could easily have resulted from unrestricted contact with the numerous strangers in town. In continuance of this plan, campus entertainment and social functions were kept under observation so that there would be ample facilities for the student body to relax. In cases where the program reached a temporary lull, the Council itself took the initia- tive in providing dances for the entire campus com- munity. As a result of an expanded program and a desire to maintain contact with each and every member of the camj us, the Student Council formulated plans for a Student Senate made up of 36 repre- sentative men as a subsidiary body. The details of this plan were ]:)resentcd at a Constitutional Con- vention, and the Senate came into existence by an almost unanimous vote. 28

WOMEN ' S S.G.A. Karken Cooper led the WSGA as its President this year with the assistance of these officers: illa i Merrilt, ] ' ice President; Eliza- beth Lewis, Recording Secretary; and Marjorie Lucke, Treasurer. - - ■ . ]j LONG WITH THE AIM OF UNI- l X ' ERSITY COOPERATION, THE I - Women ' s Student GoNcrnment Associa- i tion was founded for the purpose of se- curing for the undergraduates a oice in the go crning of their affairs. The Executive Council lor 1942-43 has had as its goal for the year a more complete fulfillment of this purpose, and has attempted to represent the students in every way possible. Since this year ' s Council is the first to serve for an entire war year, many new problems have con- fronted it, and many new policies ha e had to be established. The recreational problem has been a serious one, and the Council has tried to alleviate this by contributions to the arious dormitories and groups on campus for recreational activities. This year, the .Staff gave to the Council a delega- tion ol authorily in which tlie Councirs powers and responsibilities were stated. In its relations witli the Staff, the Council has stri cd for more co()]icra- tion not only in this phase of student-administration relations but also in the relations between the entire student body and the Staff ' . The Judicial Board of the Association has as al- ways heard all cases of infringement of student go ' ernment regulations, and tried to judge them with two ends in icw: the good of the Uni ' crsity and the welfare of the individual. The privilege of being judged by fellow-students is one which the Association cherishes and cndea ors to protect. Regardless of what material things the C ' ouncil for 1942-43 has accomplished, its work will not have been in vain if it has represented as best it could the interests of the majoiity of Association members in their own student a;o c!nment. frn MSXt l t3L First row, left to right: Maiy Ann Mcinison, Marjorie Lurke, Elizabeth I.cuis, Polly Beaver, Karleen Cooper, president, Zillah Merritt, Luane .Xdams, Louise Merritt, Mary Coggin.
