Sheldon. l l oyyiend c Leaaue The largest membership of any campus organization is the heritage of Women ' s League, whose active roll call includes all women students at Ohio University. Administrative pol- icies are handled through the Women ' s Leogue Senate, com- prised of representatives from sororities, dormitories, neigh- borhood and organized housing units, YWCA and WAA. Tra- ditional sponsor for many cam- pus activities, the League acts as welcoming committee for new freshmen, cooperating with Men ' s Union for a fresh- man mixer at the beginning of each fall term. The annual Leaders ' Rally and Luncheon, honoring officers and promin- ent members of every campus group, the equally-famous Coed Prom and the House- mother ' s Coffee Hour are only a few of its many brain chil- dren. Because of the war, 1944 plans for Mothers ' Weekend were necessarily cancelled, but blueprints for its peacetime restoration have been confi- dently tucked away. Women ' s League Assembly, composed of Women ' s League Senate and representatives from all hous- ing units, devotes its time to problems arising on campus concerned with women stu- dents. Women ' s League As- sembly, under the advisership of Dean Irma E. Voigt, is cori- sistontly prepared to offer feasible solutions and expert advice for the correct untying of knotty campus affairs.

OFFICERS: Dick Creps Russell Genko Mr, Trepp Dean Longe Mack Taylor en 6 u man This year, Men ' s Union was hardest hit of any major campus organization. With male enrollment decreased 90 per cent, regular Men ' s Union-sponsored functions such as Homecoming, Dad ' s Day, and Migration Day were necessarily eliminated. Legislative affairs normally handled by the Men ' s Union Plan- ning Board were carried on by the three remaining officers and the foculty advisers. Definite plans were made for continuing its program during the war, and funds were put aside for a fresh start and that first gala Home- coming afterward. The yeor ' s activities began with the traditional Registra- tion Hop and Freshman Smoker, The Men ' s Union aided the newly-formed campus USO in promoting free Saturday night donees in Men ' s Gym and free movies in Memorial Auditorium. Recreational equipment and reading material were provided for the ASTP cadets ' barracks, in addition to furth- ering the use of the Student Center Lounges by opening them for all students. In the absence of mid-year groduation exercises, the Men ' s Union and Women ' s League sponsored a bonquet and reception for the graduating seniors. Activities of the spring semester also included a free, all-campus dance end a Rodeo 18
