...P 9 46 I Q0 College isn,t all mind and muscle-Heayen forbid. When you look back at last month, last year, you don't remember the weeks with paper or the frantic feeling that if the day were forty hours long you still couldn't get caught up. Instead, you remember bridge games played to boogie-Woogie records, skiing on sum-iss hill, going to the movies, singing in choir- all of it extra-curricular, making college ours, individual, personal. 1 fs ie 1

When we think of Students' Association we are apt to think only of the Big Six, presiding im- pressively at the meeting the day after Con- vocation, or popping out of trash barrels at the Soap Palace unveilings. But they alone do not make up Studentsi. Instead, it is all of us, grinds, promtrotters, Hunkers, Phi Betes and the genial rank and file. From group meetings to legisla- tive assembly to the powers that be, We func- tion as a democratic body. No actions can be forced on us. We can be proud that any change in the established order, like the three year plan, is brought about by the action of the Whole college, not by merely the students or the faculty. In the same way we are all members of the Athletic Association, Philaletheis and the Com- munity Church. Although we do not consider ourselves a particularly devout community, we look to the Church board for a sincere and un- assuming leadership. Their aim is to relate re- ligious problems to our ordinary life, and they set an example, not only with the daily chapel speakers and the various community projects, but also in their larger meetings, in the J ug End meetings and their conference on the price of a new world.
