Athletic Council Around the table, left to right: Coach R. B. Frost, R. Y. Chapman, W. Wentzy, W. E. Smith, H. C. Severin, R. Ginn, O. E. Walder, and K. Hayter. There are councils, boards, and groups galore on the campus of State College, and on any campus for that matter. But one of the more important ones is the athletic council. If you've ever Watched the huge crowds that file into the gymnasium on a basketball night, or seen the automobiles parked ten deep around the football field, then you'll know what We mean. Because the decisions of the athletic council affect not only the half a hundred athletes at SDSC, but they affect in- directly the vast proportion of the stu- dents and townspeople who come to see the sporting activities of a busy college. The elderly gentleman on the coun- cil, and one Who's been at it for many years, is amiable H. C. Severin. The athletic experts include Coach Jack Frost of basketball fame, and Coach Ralph Ginn, State's football mentor. The other members of the council look at the problems from the faculty point of view.

The administrative council, which has as its members important members of the faculty, decides policies of major campus importance. They meet every Monday afternoon in President Lein- bachis immaculate office. Over half the students at State Col- lege are under the watchful eye of R. Y. Chapman, Director of Junior College. We've often wondered how he keeps all those student records straight. 22

State activities include, among other things, a friendly round of cards in the game room. Ray Dorn looks suspiciously at the opposition, ace up the proverbial sleeve. This was probably the greatest year in the history of my memory for State College. I don't want to get ahead of myself so l'll tell you all about it in a sort of chronological order. On the 23rd of September the upper- classmen registered, and the enrollment was a little over 1700, a drop of 300 from last year. The National Guard took some of the men and the Reserve the rest. The Blue Key buried the razor, and all shaving until Hobo Day came to a halt. That same night on the while the opposition appears to have an football field State's Jackrabbits crushed the Morningside Maroons 31-7. When the Collegian came out on Wednesday everyone read how the Jacks trounced the St. Cloud Tutors 39-7 and beat ISTC 34-13 in a bruising battle. It looks like the Jacks are headed for another conference cham- pionship. One boy who makes a Whale of a difference in many games is Herb Bartling. That boy isn't just fine on the field but in classes or anywhere. There aren't many like him.
