: Sy?iKf ts?3U( Every Coed is in Women ' s League EVERY coed is automatically a member of Women ' s League, which began its program this year with the traditional Fresh- man Mixer party to introduce incoming women to each other and to upperclassmen. In October was the Leader ' s Rally for officers of all women ' s organizations. December saw the party for transfer students, which was the first of the annual College Nights. Also in December was the tea for graduate students. Women ' s League was co-sponsor of the OU Revue, the voca- tional guidance sessions, and the appearance of Madame La Bastille at convocation. Top league social event was the leap year Coed Prom, instigated and financed by women. Most elaborate function of the league is the annual Mothers ' Weekend late in April. On the program was the opera, Bohemian Girl, financed by the League, staged by Choregi, and presented by the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs. Men ' s Union House of Delegates was entertained at the Athens Country Club. (page 27, top left) WOMEN ' S LEAGUE SENATE. First Row: Faulstich, Tucker, Kuchenrither, Wheaton, M. Davis. Second Davis.

J Club FOR the first time in history, J Club selected two independent men for membership. On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, thirteen junior men, prominent in activities, were inducted under the McGuffey Elms. Selections are announced on Homecoming Day (see page 45). The purpose of this group is purely social. J Club annually gives a scholarship key to the junior man with the highest average for five semesters at Ohio University. Green Key DROPPING its national affiliation with Blue Key, a fraternity men ' s honorary, and organ- izing a local service men ' s honorary, the aim of Green Key is to publicize the University to prospective students and to make undergradu- ates aware of the cultural advantages offered on the campus. Selection for memberships are based on activities, scholarship and character. Phi Eta Sigma WHILE drinking coffee at their bi-weekly breakfast meetings, Phi Eta Sigma members discuss problems on the Ohio University campus. It is an honorary organization recognizing freshman men with a 2.5 average. This year their project has been to tutor every Wednesday night those students who need help. After initiation in April, the old actives serve as counsellors to Phi Eta Sigma. The group had a weiner roast for members and their dates, and a stag party at the Student Union for new pledges. 25

Politics make strange bedfellows Two-year dream of Men ' s Union President Sam Downer came true this year with the House of Delegates. This governing body, elected by all Ohio University men, was started to forward demo- cracy on the campus, and to train men for campus offices. Among accomplishments for the year is a short-term loan fund for men students. Partially due to Downer ' s unhappy stay in the University Hospital, several improvements were added, including two console radios and four magazine subscriptions. Downer calls the House a group of well-selected men coopera- ting in the first step of a movement toward student participation in campus government.
