STUDENT CnUNClL Practical experience in democracy is given to the students by the processes of the Student Council. Any broad change in the rules and regulations, curriculum and administration of college affairs is usually suggested by the Coun- cil and then presented to the student body for acceptance or rejection. The council legislates on all matters of the Student Body Association and formu- lates all rules and regulations affecting student affairs. The membership is made up of the officers of the Student Associa- tion, class presidents, a representative from each class, a representative of WAA, senior and junior representatives to the Athletic Board, Editor of the Oracle, YMCA and YWCA presidents, and house presidents. Reports of viola- tions of college regulations are investi- gated by the Council. The officers of the Student Association are also the officers of the Student Council. This year, it has sponsored the All-School Picnic, the Knox-Monmouth Dance, and a skating party for the student body. As in the past, it has emphasized the im- portance of honesty on our campus. 125]

SIGMA (IMICHON MU Sigma Omicron Mu was founded in 1926 by Doctor Goodrich, then a French professor here at Monmouth. His ideal was to establish an honorary scholastic fraternity for those junior and senior students who had met certain grade re- quirements. These requirements were four semesters of honor roll, two semes- ters in succession. Its purpose is to foster intellectual achievement. Mem- bers of Phi Beta Kappa may become members and honorary members are taken in frcm time to time. Each semester Sigma Omicron Mu sponsors a Scholarship Day vv hen their new members are tapped. On this day, too, the members of the freshman hon- orary fraternities. Pi Gamma Pi end Phi Eta Mu, are tapped. This p:st fall on Scholarship Day, Mary Garden was given a degree. Following Scholarship Day is the annual banquet to which the freshman honorary fraternities are in- vited. First Row: Oyler, Smith, Forsyihe, Haun, Eeernick.
