Campus Activities Advisory Board Maurice Foraker Chairman ONE of the five supervisory hoards of the Men ' s Union, the Campus Activities Advisory Board serves in several difficult capacities. The board takes an active part in encouraging students to take advantage of the facilities of the Men ' s Union and oversees many campus events. One of the outstanding problems of the group is the Homecoming Day Float parade. Effecting a change in methods, the board decided that beauty alone would be the basis of judgment in the contest last fall. A plaque was offered to the sorority and the fraternity entering the most beautiful float and a cup was offered for the best decorated house. The Men ' s Rodeo, held in the spring, is also supervised by the Campus Activities Advisory Board. At that event, which every man student of the University is expected to attend, a series of entertaining features are presented. Activities at the past Rodeo included solo dances, boxing and wrestling, tumbling, and speeches by faculty members. A box luncheon was served. Fraternity board- ing clubs closed down for the evening. Another responsibility of the group is the compilation of men ' s grades. This completed, awards are made to the fraternity active chapter, the fraternity pledge chapter, and the individual student with the highest scholastic average. The board al«o supervises the Junior and Sophomore class elections. TM ' enl -N ine
