MEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT If you take ninety-six young fellows in the prime of young manhood, all looking for excitement (as well as an education) and put them in a house to live together, you have afforded them a great opportunity of making a lot of friends — providing, of course, that there is some form of government. In the boys ' dorm, two senators from each floor, a secretary and treasurer, and a president make up the executive system. At times the enforcement of the laws of the dorm may be a bit lax, however, most of the fellows are considerate enough of the others that it is not necessary for our newly appointed Dean of Men to take action. Dormitory life offers a far greater opportun- ity for extended and more intimate friendships than do the other rooming places surrounding the campus. Page twenty-four

The meeting will please come to order is heard in the women ' s parlor on Mondays at 9:00 p. m. In addition to the hashing and rehashing of student problems that are present on the campus, there are many specific problems which the Student Council must meet. Sadie Hawkins ' Day la modern version of breakaway), Courtesy Days for the benefit of the student body en masse , Homecoming, and May Day are the most spectacular events of the year planned by this select body. Payment of class dues, chapel conduct, dressing for Wednesday evening dinner, and dining hall food are stimuli for many lengthy discussions; definite conclusions may or may not be formulated. The presence of the treasurer of the Council acting as doorman adds dignity to these sessions. His duty is that of collecting a tax levied on late-comers and absentees from former meetings. Purpose ' — a party. I STUDENT COUNCIL Pag ' ! ' » ' , ■

WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT- The court members of Oakwood Hall, plus a supply of proctors, have one big duty ... to keep the dorm reasonably quiet. The variety of excitement and disciplinary problems depend almost entirely on the amount of noise. Exam time, vacation time, basketball season and many other incidental activities give the women ' s student government a never ending job. On the other hand, serious misdemeanors are rare. Everyone is glad to say that days of judgment are seldom to be found in Oakwood, but if, and when, they arise they are indeed solemn. The duties of this organization are unpredictable and slightly irregular, due to the unbalanced energy of two hundred coeds.
