M c omen d cJLe ecLciue f ' The Women ' s League is the student governmental organization represent- ing all of the women students of M.S.N.C. The League is a member of the national organization of Associ- ated Women Students. Women ' s League has established as its purpose the development of a feeling of responsibility, leadership, cooperation, and democracy among the women of our campus. Activities are planned in response to the needs of women students. Accordingly, Women ' s League has long been an outstanding campus organization. The League is composed of the exec- utive and advisory boards. The exec- utive board is the governing and pol- icy making branch of the League. This board is composed of the chair- men of the various standing commit- tees, dormitory representatives, elect- ed members at large, members of the college social committee, Student Council representatives, W.R.A. rep- resentatives, and the League officers. This year ' s officers were: Gloria Wal- ton, president; Barbara Hughes, vice- president; Marion Runkle, secretary; and Ruth Oakes, treasurer. Activities sponsored by Women ' s League are well known to the students on our campus. Two standard favor- ites are the girl-bid dances — this year entitled Autumn Serenade and Heavenly Daze. The traditional green ribbons are a must for all the freshman girls in the fall. The Home- coming float, dessert for February grads, Christmas decorations at Mc- Kenny Hall, forums, plays and con- certs attended on League purchased tickets. Station Wagon Crew, Campus Sisters, election campaigns — plus many other League activities have added color to the campus life. Through Women ' s League, numer- ous women students receive the op- portunity of planning and organizing programs of good fun, good learning, and good training. With so many girls actively supporting the League, it has been possible to improve and enlarge the program. Women ' s League has been most fortunate in having as its adv isors Dean Hill and Assistant Dean Rudin. Miss Hollis, assistant dean of women, has also devoted much time to advis- ing the League in regard to its social activities. The League is deeply in- debted to these three fine advisors. AURORA 2a

student ( ouncli The Student Council of Michigan State Normal College is still young, having just celebrated its first anniver- sary as a working organization. We of the Council feel that this first year of operation has been a successful one. We feel that we have established a firm foundation toward our final goal of being a constructive legislative or- ganization. The students and faculty of our cam- pus can point to us and say, What have they accomplished? or Of what good have they been to us? and in answer we can point to our accom- plishments of this past year. Some of them are hard to express in concrete terms, but it is often these intangible steps that contribute most genuinely to the growth and success of an organi- zation. Our basic program for the year was to correct and strengthen our constitu- tion. This we have accomplished. We concentrated on gaining the co-opera- tion of the students on campus, and on organizing the joint student-faculty committees which our constitution calls for. Already operating are two joint committees — the Aurora Com- mittee, and the Normal College News Committee. Organized, but not yet in operation are two others — a committee to supervise athletics and associated areas, and a co-ordinating committee to work with the Faculty Council. Another activity of the Council was its participation in, and planning of the past year ' s homecoming celebra- tion. The World Student Service Fund drive was sponsored by the Council. Assembly programs are now under the direction of the Student Council, and along with this function we have sponsored a number of radio pro- grams. To insure that all future college elec- tions will be uniform and carried on in a democratic manner, we have or- ganized a permanent Elections Com- mittee that has drawn up a set of rules governing the procedure and time of the elections of such campus organi- zations as the Men ' s Union , Women ' s League, Student Council, and all classes. In addition, we have organ- ized a Finance Committee which en- ables students, for the first time to participate actively in the distribution of funds to student organizations. Finally, there are three other proj- ects which are well on their way to being realized. The first and most nearly complete of these projects is a vocational information file to be set up in the College Library. Secondly, we are trying to obtain a series of Amer- ican and foreign film classics to be shown here on campus. Lastly, after a complete investigation, we are on the doorstep of joining the National Student Association. In conclusion, we should like to express our sincere appreciation to Dean Isbell for having served as our sponsor, and to the students, faculty, and administration for their accept- ance of, and co-operation with the Student Council. Respectfully yours, Richard W. Mendenhall, President, Student Council 24 AURORA
