GOVERNMENT TdcuLtu ancl Student (loopetatLon Our (il till- tr;iiiitii)iis oi wliicli Mi(l(lltl)urv Collfiif is most priuul is tliat of the friendly spirit and co- oiieration whicli exists lietweeti its faeulty and students. A great deal of the credit for this goes to the Stu- dent Life Committee, whose purjiosc is to provide for informal meetings where faeulty and student represen- tatives ean diseuss and settle every- day eampus problems, and thereby eome to understand eaeh otiier better. In general, college life is regulated by the Student Life Committee, the two student governments, and the administration. ll ' i ii , Dian Wumack, Oniii Russ. .Uiss i ' iilriitt, Ertkclcii Planninif fur Ihc future Dean Ross.

equLdtlon not Student J-lm Tlie ojovernnients set down tlie main rcjiulatory jjolicies concerning, as in the uonit-n ' s case, the proper attire for various occasions, tlie restriction of tlic number of nights out for freslnuen and soplu)uiores. and tlie time to he in at iiigiit. Only if student government regulation fails, do the Deans step in. The ruling of the adminis- tration is confined to such matters as limiting the number of absences from classes per semester and rccpiiring daily chai)el attendance. Once these general principles are laid down it is the business of the Student Life Committee to keep the program run- ning smoothly and to settle any problems which may arise. To its consideration come such matters as advising on social questions, juggling the social calendar, approving student goveriiiucnt constitutions, considering suggestions and criticisms from the student body, and jnitting its approval or disapproval on dances, entertainments and recreational events. We arc all aware of these actions of the student governments and the administration, but how few of us are conscious of the existence of the .Student Life Committee. Yet this small grou]) goes about its work unapplauded. smoothing out some of the ditKeulties and problems that crowd college life, so that for each and every one of us college will represent days of hapiiiness long to be enjoved and re- membered. iliiil zee luivc nil iiifiiriiiiil dance Suturdiiy iilf ht.
