Committee X was formed, including as mem- bers Charles Harrell, Henry Snyder, Charles Fox, Harry Brownstein, Ralph Skaggs, Bob Cook, Bob Rapp, Bob Porter, Bob Keck, Milton Fineberg, Clarence Elliot. A plan was developed by the committee which called for the abolishment of underclass offices and the selection of senior officers, committee chairmen and members on a merit basis. This plan met the approval of a group of represen- tative students last spring and was put into effect for the first time last fall. Under this new system, applicants for positions submit lists of the activities in which they have participated. A points chart worked out by the committee determines the number of points for each activ- ity. The man having the highest total of points receives the class presidency. The woman with the highest number receives the vice presidency, and so on throughout the list of offices. Se nior class positions and their recipients this year, in the order determined by the merit sys- tem, are as follows: MEN: Wendel Walker, senior president; Robert Harrell, Siwash chairman; Elvin Hewins, invitations chairman; Robert Keck, senior treasurer; Vernon Huffman, tree-planting chairman; Ledford Day, peace-pipe chairman; Lester Stout, Joseph Schwartz- kopf, Siwash committee; William Brown, Bruce Temple, invitations committee; Shannon Johnson, Willard Smullen, Frederick Cook, memorial com- mittee; Otto Grant, William Crab, tree-planting committee; Philip Lawrence, Herbert Backer, peace- pipe committee. WOMEN: Mary Elizabeth Reid, senior vice presi- dent; Catherine Feltus, memorial chairman; Ruth English, senior secretary; Elizabeth Hillix, senior breakfast chairman; Catherine Edwards, Lucille Peck, Martha Myers, Siwash committee; Elizabeth Bobbitt, Eleanor Wilkins, Floy Frank, invitations committee; Mary F ' lizabeth Bond, Pauline Sundsmo, memorial committee; Susan Steinmetz, Virginia Jane Harrison Pierce, Frances Macoughtry, tree-planting committee; Madeline Graf, Mary A. Clouser, Janet Seward, peace pipe committee; Virginia Smith, Jo Dorsett, Mary Biggs, Mary Frances Dobbins, Afra Wade, senior breakfast committee.
