Whiting Hall House Council is the gov- erning body of the hall. Its members form- ulate the rules which govern the general conduct of the residents of the hall as well as make suggestions as to the upkeep of the hall. Each sorority, the Union, and the Freshman class have two members on the council. They must be residents of the hall. Each year the council sponsors several social functions in the hall, a Christmas party for the faculty children, faculty dinners, birthday dinners and two formal dinners. The council has charge of decorating the hall at Homecoming and at Christmas time. This year the council was headed by Helen Turnquist who was assisted by June Kujala, sec.-treas., Marge Swanson, Jean Henderson, Margaret Uhlir, Joanne Davis, Ruth Taylor, Lola Stout, Francis Grothe, Mildred Weinberg, Cora Ellsworth, and Carol Howland. The of- ficers for the coming year are: Ruth Tay- lor, president, and Margaret Swanson, sec.- treas. Seymour Hall, men's residence, is gov- erned by a hall council that is elected each year by the residents of the hall. The men elected to the council also act as proctors of the hall and are responsible for the general conduct of the hall. The men elected this year were: Bob Bauler, Bill Gunnison, and Ken Critser. The faculty resident head of the hall and the men's housing units was Mr. Davenport. The Pan-Hellenic House Council is com- posed of two members of each sorority on the campus. This council has charge of the run- ning and the maintenance of the Pan-Hell House. HOUSE COUNCILS i l l Pictured above is the Whiting Hall House Council at the top of the page.

...TI-IE GREEKS SOCIAL LIFE AT KNOX During the course of the year a chapel speaker who had been making a survey of American culture talked on one aspect of the study-how people liked to live. At Knox he said that he discovered an amazing vari- ance from the national average. Here at Siwash he found fparticularly among the girls, that a large percentage wished to 'cadapt themselves to the social order, to sub- merge their interests to those designated by a group . This may be an exaggeration, but it is a fact that a majority of the activities engaged Interfraternity-back, left to right: Peterson, Jobst, Burkhardt, Van Trigt, T. Schmidt, and Weber.

Competition among the groups has been keen, especially in intramural sports, but this friendly rivalry has kept the organizations on their toes in making the campus life stimu- lating and invigorating. Formal and in- formal dances and get-togethers sponsored by the groups have served to give the student body a social-consciousness which will be invaluable in post-college life.
