W. S. G. A. UPON entering the University of Missouri every woman student automatically becomes a member of the Woman ' s Self-Govern- ment Association. W. S. G. A. serves to co-ordinate all women ' s organizations of the campus and to provide housing regulations for the women students. Members of the committee on Student Affairs for women act as advisors for the Association. Every spring petitioning is held for membership on the Associa- tion council, the governing body. The four major offices of the council and the positions of president and representative of each class are then filled by appointment, based on the scholarship and activity records of each individual girl. Other members of the council are the presidents of the major women ' s organizations. The Association works to secure uniform and individual repre- sentation in student activities; to promote broad social interests among the University women and to foster a living school spirit. Among the projects of the council are general sponsorship of Fresh- man orientation, September activity jamboree. Little Sister Picnic. Fac- ulty Fireside, Lecture series for women. Christmas Doll show, all- university Christmas caroling. House President ' s Council, Women ' s Elections, activity card files.

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.

BLUE KEY BLUE Key, a national honor fraternity, was organized on the campus of the University of Missouri in 1929. Membership in the fra- ternity is limited to twenty-four members of whom eighteen are seniors and graduate students and six are juniors. Members are selected on a basis of character, leadership, scholarship, and actual accomplishments in the interest of the University. A merit system which is used by the chapter at Missouri takes into consideration the major activities on the campus and awards points for participation in each according to its importance. The purpose of the fraternity is to promote the best interests of the University of Missouri in any manner in which the members may be able to serve. During the past year Blue Key opposed the unioniza- tion of the school orchestras; its members served as ushers at all of the University concerts; and it laid the foundations for a better housing program for the students. In laying this foundation for a reorganized housing plan Missouri chapter hopes to be of service to the Univer- sity as well as to the students. The group of next year will carry on where the group of this year left off. A national convention of Blue Key was held in New Orleans, Louisi- ana, during the Christmas holidays. Missouri chapter was represented by David Skeer. In his report he told of the future plans of the fraternity. The club has been aided in its efforts during the past year by Dean Albert K. Meckel, Dr. W. A. Tarr, Dr. Fred McKinney, and Earl Gordon, faculty advisors. Jack Wilkie JACK WILKIE President GENE FELLOWS Vice-President ROBERT N.
