COUNCIL ASUH, 1949-1950, based its theme on the prin- ciples of more activities and more participation by members of the ASUH. Spearheading the stu- dent government were: Barry Rubin, president; Ralph Aoki, vice-president; Teruko Tokunaga, secretary; and Frank Watase, treasurer. During the first semester Mr. Harold Bitner served as ad- visor and Dr. Willard Wilson resumed the ad- visorship during the second semester after re- turning from his sabbatical leave. The largest number of students in UH history, 3964, enrolled in September. Students from many parts of the world including Iran, Japan, China, England, Guam, Philippines, and the mainland U. S. contributed to the cosmopolitan makeup of the campus. Freshmen went through the rigors of sophomore superordination during hazing week and peace was declared with the Bury the Hatchet dance at Hemenway Hall. A prominent event was the movement into the new headquarters located in the new wing of Hemenway hall. A barber shop was opened on the ground floor of Hemenway for the conveni- ence of the university community. A truly outstanding and pace-setting event was the first annual Homecoming Day that was highlighted by the UH-College of the Pacific game on December 16. The Alumni treated its members and the Senior class to a venison bar- becue party, and the ASUH sponsored a street dance across from Hemenway Hall while vari- ous clubs of the campus opened food con- cessions. Numerous programs were presented under the ASUH social calendar and these included dances, contests, and convocations. Aloha Week was celebrated by the university community with colorful aloha shirts and muu- muus. A contest to select the outstanding aloha shirts and muumuus of both color and beauty found the interest of the student body and LOOK magazine photographers. Prizes were awarded to winners from the faculty and student body for the most colorful, unusual, and beautiful muu- muus and aloha shirts. Campus spirit was stimulated with colorful jalopy and float parades through downtown COUNCILLORS FIRST ROW, left to right: George Koga, Ray Haftel. SECOND ROW: Mercedes Hutchison, Hamilton Ahlo.
