,s; The Student Governing Association QTUDENT government as a policy of university practice has become firmly established in the ideas and ideals of college men and women all over the United States. Particularly has student govern- ing ability and the faith of the student body in such an institution been demonstrated at Kansas State. Only a few years ago it was considered an experi- ment which might or might not last. Now the Student Governing Association and the Student Council have come to occupy a very definite and a very important place in the lives of the ct)llege men and women. T. J. Ch. rles President The Student Go erning Association is an organ- ization of the students of the college in which every student has a part so that the control of student functions and activities is in the hands of the persons who will themselves be called upon, to abide by the rules and laws they see fit to legislate. The Student Council is a smaller working body, repre- sentative of the Student Governing Association, which has certain definite tasks to perform and various obligations to fulfill. Every member of the college student body is a member of the Student Governing Association. Payment of the five dollar activity fee at the beginning of each semester entitles the student to member- ship in the Association and to a vote in that body. While that voting power to some may seem to hold rather a vague and obscure meaning, it does entitle the individual to cast a vote at class elections, to run for office in his class, to vote for members of the Student Council and to become a candidate for membership in that body. Thus it can be seen that membership in the Association gives the student a vital place in the college life which surrounds him every da . l-RANCIS ImMaSC;!!

The Dean of Men nr HE office of Men ' s Advisor and Sccrc- ■ ' tar - of the Y. M. C. A. tries in a very real sense to he all things to all men.

Dr. a. . . HoLTz Mcti ' s Advisor On occasion he also seeks out those whom he feels that he can help, and those whom he feels need a friend and encouragement. In his office is the men ' s employment bureau, which is the clearing house for both the students wanting employment and those wishing to have some work done. The rooming bureau is also maintained, which is of inestimable value, especially to the incoming freshmen. The Men ' s Advisor and Secretary of the Y. M. C.

■ m Junior Class Officers jNE more year and we ' ll be history but now we ' re right here and verv much in e idence. Judge by our prominence in the past and present. Is there anyone who hasn ' t heard of the class of ' 30? — A class with its quota of scholars, debaters, dramatists, writers, beauties, athletes, and what have you? We admit that it took us a few davs to get acclimated to our new environment when we first entered K. S. A. C. But we ' re an important part of it now. Just for instance, consider our record in sports, one-half of the football lettermen are Juniors, more than one-half of the regular varsitv baseball men are members of this class, and the Juniors make up one-third of the varsitv basket ball squad. And while we ' re in the sport realm, we might say that the ' uniors even have the honor of having the head cheerleader among their numbers. What more could be said? With our past and present irreproachable we now look to the future and reflect upon what an uplifting influence we, as mighty Seniors next vear, can have upon our under class- mates. We are unselfishlv glad to have been such an example to other Kansas Aggies and think with pleasure of the glory that will be reflected upon us from the pages of our past his- tory when we launch forth into the world.
