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.

SOCIAL workers of the Y are found in many fields. The children of surround- ing towns form an important unit of the Y program. Local shut-ins and patients at the hospital are visited by Y girls, and colored children and inmates of the Athens County Children ' s Home are benefited by their work. (top) EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
