FIRST SEMESTER STUDENT COUNCIL Bill Kimel, vice-presideni; Charles secretary: and Bill Davis. Student Council Sponsors War Stamp Sales THE Student Council, execu tive and disciplinary Ibody of the Student Governing Association, is elected by students voting for representatives of their respective Schools. This new system of electing coun- cil members was initiated last year. Previously all members were elected by the entire student body. The advent of men in uniform at Kansas State has affected the personnel of the Student Council. This year two Army Specialized Training men and two Army Air Forces students were representatives to the group. Sergeants John Pearson and Robert Scheck met with the Council part of the year. They were transferred to another station before the close of the second semester. Army Air Forces representa- tives were Bill Dearen and S. M. Sabieszansti. Many of the Council ' s projects are connected with the war effort. In this field they sponsor weekly war stamp sales, which are held each Wednesday from 8 until 5 o ' clock in Anderson hall. During the second semester, the group was re- sponsible for Army-Coed dances. These social gatherings were sponsored every two weeks for an hour and a half in Recreation Center. Both army and civilian students attended. Council Aids Red Cross Drive The Council worked with Dean Umberger in securing funds from the students for the Red Cross this spring. Two committee heads contacted every organization president on the campus and other members solicited funds from all the organized houses. Outstanding among the activities of the Council this spring, was the sponsorship of the operetta, Blossom Time. This musical brought a rich pro- gram of talent within the reach of each student at Kansas State College. Council members chosen for the first semester were Charles Jakowatz and Bill Kimel, School of Engineering and Architecture; Betty Brass, Marilyn Kirk and Don Findley, School of Arts and Sciences; Harriet Holt and Kay Jones, School of Home Eco- nomics; Max Grandfield, School of Veterinary Medi- cine; and Bill Davis, School of Agriculture.
