THE goal toward which college women should strive is to perfect themselves as an instrument of their own destiny. If they want to make an interesting career for themselves they must have a real desire for acquisition of knowledge and develop a high degree of personal integrity. They must have command over personal resources, all of which requires discipline of mind and discipline of spirit. Those who succeed must be trained to do their own driving, but they need advice and encouragement along the way. The Committee on Student Affairs for Women recog- nizes the necessity for such training and desires to aid stu- dents in the fulfillment of this goal. The underlying philosophy of the Office is one of co-operation — working with others to the end that they may have opportunities to round out their lives through honest work in an atmosphere of freedom of thinking. The Committee is eager to become an essential factor in the life and ideals of students and of an institution which shall be in truth what it is in name — coeducational. DEAN OF WDMEIV MISS MARY H.

DEAN DF MEN THE Dean of Men is concerned with the young men at Missouri apart from their classroom routine. His chief interest is in assisting them to make effective adjust- ments in their university life. The office of the Dean of Men provides opportunities for personal conference and consulta- tion in an endeavor to help the student to an intelligent fur- thering of his own interests and the interests of the University and community. A young man in college has problems which are very real and important to him however trivial they may seem to others. In many cases they are problems which perplexed his father as a student. In working toward the solution of some of these problems, the Dean of Men is happy to give his assistance. His office has general supervision of extra-curricular activ- ities. In his office are centered, among other things, matters of student conduct. In these his chief concern is with men rather than rules, emphasizing prevention and cure above discipline. His advice is available to every young man in the institution and to every student organization. DEAN ALBERT K. HECKEL [ 20 }

THE Student Government Association of the University is the in- corporated organization of the entire student body. Its purpose is to provide a self-governing system for the students, and to cor- relate undergraduate activities. The present system under which the Student Government Asso- ciation is organized was adopted in May, 1935, and went into effect in September, 1936. The governing body of the Association is the Student Assembly consisting of some forty members elected under a system of proportional representation from the nine schools and col- leges in the University. From this body are elected the Student Presi- dent, and the Treasurer and Clerk of the Association. Ten members of the assembly are elected to the cabinet, which is in fact the real governing body. The acts of this latter group are subject to be vetoed by vote of the assembly, and certain of its acts must have the approval of the assembly before they can take effect. Constitutional and legislative problems which arise are decided by the Student Court, a body consisting of the high ranking students in the College of Law. This court conducts all student elections and interprets the constitution and by-laws of the Association. Among the many activities of the Student Government Association are the sponsorship of University dances, the conducting of the annual Homecoming, and the publishing of the Savitar and Missouri Student. « J If % f 3 ' Bryant.
