Usually the student president is just some- one at whom this publication smiles in mild amusement. But Chauncey Stanberry, we feel, deserves all the honor we can give him. Stanberry rode into office on a reform wave that swept all but one of his party ' s senators with him, but Stanberry amazed everyone by actually carrying out a large part of his campaign promises, unheard of in campus politics. Taking office saddled by a six hundred dollar debt left by the previous administration, Stanberry has put S. G. A. back on an efficient business basis by dances and other S. G. A. functions which always gave the students more than an even break. Chauncey Stanberry S. G. A. President HATS OFF Betotc: Prexy Stanberry cliiits with Mayor. Dance Chairman Harry Beltzig, who tossed Tummy Dorsey at you, discusses tite intricacies of politics with ex-politico Vic Lundemo.

A. Continuing its progressive governing policy, the Women ' s Self-Government Associa- tion this year completed another program of projects designed to benefit women students, all of whom are considered members of W. S. G. A. The council, an energetic group of twenty- two women, is chosen on the merit system. Although the W. S. G. A. is composed of all Obtrude Schnaedelbach President women students, it is the council which sponsors an impressive array of commendable projects. It regulates, for one thing, all house rules for women students and determines clos- ing hours for women ' s houses. To enforce these rules, the council last year established a judiciary board of five members. Other projects carried on were registration day assistance for new students; the Co-Ed Carnival during freshman week; assistance with freshman orientation; re-establishing the Stray Greek society for members of sororities not represented on this campus; conducting regular meetings of the house presidents ' council for women not in organized houses; sponsoring the Third Annual Skirt Swing, the original University girls ' bid dance of the year, featuring the crowning of the Knight Owl; acquainting freshman women who did not participate in any campus activities with the possibihties of those activities; and spon- soring of the Christmas Doll show and the Christmas Carol session. Miss Thelma Mills, director of student aff airs for women, is the group ' s advisor. Page 26
