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.

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.
