PROGRAM AT CAMP WOOD MEET Bob Weatherbie headed SPC until this Spring when he was replaced by Joan Beggs. Organized in 1946, the SPC is a permanent sub- committee of the Student Council. Membership in the group includes 65 percent appointed or elected repre- sentatives from College organizations; 20 percent vol- unteers; and 15 percent named by the Council. Among the more important Student Planning Com- mittee recommendations that have been adopted are the purchase of a press for a daily Collegian to be pub- lished next Fall, appointment of a Dean of Students and organization of a Social and Recreation committee. DEAN HELEN MOORE and some female members of the SPC group find there is some manual work conneaed with the annual outing. DISHES HAVE TO BE WASHED and girls of the SPC contingent willing- ly pitched in, made it a pleasant task — for those who sat and watched. HOUSING DIRECTOR Thornton Edwards (right) proved to be adept with the broom when he solved another house problem at the camp. 21

He received a Farmer ' s Short Course certificate from the College in June, 1914. His farm experience on his own farm near Concordia proved valuable when he went into politics. Before stepping into the Governor ' s chair, the Con- cordian served as congressman representing the Sixth Congressional District of Kansas. Regents Set Policy Nine prominent Kansans are included on the State Board of Regents. The Board acts as the highest author- ity for the eight state-supported schools in Kansas. Board members are appointed by the Governor for four-year terms. Executive Secretary is Hubert Brighton. The Regents gave positive, aggressive support to both Kansas State ' s operational budget and to the Campus of Tomorrow building program. They not only approved the financial budget this year but also provided active support to College plans during the legislative session. A new faculty retirement policy also was inaugu- rated this year by the Board. 22
