As Vice-Pres- ident of the Women ' s League, Mary Ann Melick presides over this body, assisted by Linda Fry, hHazel hHording, Kathryn Gehring, Betty Cahill, Wilmo Schweinfurth, Betty Van Nest, Carol House, Jane Davis, hHelen Rahm, and Helen Nipcrko. The violator meets this board on a Wednesday evening to state her case. After a just hearing, this court hands out its decision in writing to the Dean of Women ' s office where the defendent con learn the outcome on the following Friday.

Aside from its functionings as a court of hear- ings and decisions, the Advisory Board passed opinion on the regulations and laws set up by the Executive Board. The secondary dormitory councils are informed of all changes in rules and cooperate as a unit with the Board to avoid irregularities of verdict. The attitude with which the women carry out their duties as policemen is determined, yet considerate,- and the punishment, therefore, is generally taken with the spirit of I deserved it,- it won ' t happen again. 24
