HOUSE OF DELEGATES Left to right: B. Mohlfy, R. Lowtlier, M. Susi. C. Cruirford. L. JoIdisoh. It ' . Mecliem, R. Foster. J. D. Carr. R. Reiier, G. Margoles. J. Zuhnult, C. Fitich, K. Weitzel, D. Davis. Legislating the affairs of the men through the Men ' s Union, the House of Delegates is composed of twenty members. The House passes on all projects, activities, and committees of the Union. It played a major part in formulating plans for a successful Homecoming, Dad ' s Day, and other Campus events which the Union sponsors during each academic year. Meetings are held every two weeks in the confei ' ence room of the Student Union Building. Intelligent discussion is the keynote as the House debates the opinions of the representatives of the campus men. The public is invited to sit in at meetings, but has no voice in the business which is transacted. Members are elected for one year, and every university man is eligible to i-un in the open primary election. Instrumental in the formation of the House of Delegates as a democratic campus institution last year was Dean Lawrence VV. Lange. 29 —

Justin, Jane Hijih, Max Gurfiiilde, Miss I. E. Voigt Since 1923 the Campus Affairs Com- mittee has been the major governing body of student-university matters. Headed by Dean Lawrence W. Lange, the committee of eleven members recommends the distribu- tion of the A.L.E. fund, the administration of the Student Grill through the Grill Execu- tive Board, student publications thi-ough the Committee on Student Publications, and supervises many other vital campus functions. Six faculty members include Dean Lange, chairman, and Dean Irma E. Voigt, secretary, permanent members, as well as four faculty members serving for a period of three years, chosen by the chairman. The student body is represented by the presi- dents of Men ' s Union and of Women ' s League, one elected member from each of these organizations, and a fifth student chosen by the other four student represen- tatives. Thus affairs of Campus policy are democratically administered. Faculty members include Dr. Florence Justin, Dr. E. T. Hellebrandt, Mr. Joseph Trepp, and Miss Doris Sponsellor. Student members include J. David Carr, Men ' s Union, Edwin Darby, fifth student chosen, Jane High, Women ' s League, Max Gar- finkle, president of Men ' s Union, and Marian Hooper, president of Women ' s League. — 28

WOMEN ' S SENATE First roiv: L. Hninletj, A. Meclnm, M, Hopkins, P, Silni-uuiti, P. Rudy Second row: F. Uurn. M. Gottlieb, N. Gil}lis, M. Hooper, M. Ahele, S. Mahrer The Senate, administrative body of the Women ' s League, determines the financial and social policies of this organization. Its membership is comprised of one representative from each of the four housing units : dormitory, sorority, organized houses and neighborhood units. Y.W.C.A. and W.A.A. are also represented, and the Dean of Women is the advisor for the group — thus all phases of campus life are given the chance to express their views and voice their opinions. The regulations pertaining to women students are formulated here, and with approval from the Dean of Women ' s office and the Assembly, these codes are adopted. Many campus activities are sponsored by the Women ' s League Senate. Among these are the Co-ed Prom, where the women do the honors and take their beaux stepping; Motfiers ' Week-End, when all students ' mothers are the honored guests of the campus; the Housemother s Dinner where housemothers of all the women meet to talk mutual problems and interests, and many other activities of vital campus interest to the men as well as the women. The Senate also plans two mass meetings of all the campus women each year. To aid in carrying out these plans, publicity, poster, decoration and social committees are created. One of the primary purposes of the Student Council is to foster the spirit of cooperation between the Men ' s Union and the Women ' s League. It was inaugurated in September through the efforts of the presidents of the League and Union, Marian Hooper and Max Garfinkle. The Council tackles the problems concerning the student body which cannot be reached by Men ' s Union and Women ' s League acting independently of each other. Among the responsibilities of the Council are the de- STUDENT .30
