One of the committees, the All-College Social and Recreational Committee, operated a full schedule of events and activities for the first time. The committee, which resulted from an SPC recommendation, was not completely organized nor did it have sufficient funds in the past. Name Switch Brings Gags Another of the sub-committees was reorganized and renamed during the academic year also. The Committee on Academic Honesty was formerly the Committee on Academic Dishonesty. Many puns an(i jokes resulted from the announcement that the name had been changed. From the student point of view the All-College Social and Recreational Committee probably rates as the most important of the student-faculty committees. During the school year the committee sponsored 35 weekend movie programs in the Auditorium and ar- range .1 1 hour dances at the Student Union. Music for the hour dances was supplied by Matt Betton ' s and Bob Smith ' s orchestras. In addition to the hour dances, three all-college dances were sponsored on the tennis courts, three parties were staged in Nichols Gymnasium and nine weekend dances at the Community House were pre- sented. Farewell Is Highlight Biggest event of the year for the college community was the All-College Farewell Party and Dance in honor of President Eisenhower.

Assurance that completion of the Campus of Tomorrow will find Kansas State College with one of the finest campuses in the nation was guaranteed this year when Dr. R. A.

A bronze relief portrait of the Dean has been hung in Engi- neering Hall. Housing Office Busy Finding places in Manhattan for more than seven thousand students to live is quite a problem for anyone. Add to that problem the question of where some two thousand of those students can find places for their wives and children and you have a slight idea of the task of Housing Director A.
