WOA AN•S STUDENT VIRGINIA CROWELL EVERY WOMAN attending West Virginia University is a member of Womans ' Student Government Association and it is the only organization for women that is all inclusive in its membership. It is the governing entity for men and women. The council consists of Ethel Sv ing, president; Pauline Cunningham, first vice president; Mary Louise Jester, second vice president; Mary Louise Woodhull, senior vkfoman representative; Virginia Crowell, junior vifoman representative; Gladys Lockert, sophomore woman representative; Virginia Johnson, secretary; Margaret Hasner, treasurer; and Eleanor Barnett, presi- dent of Womans Hall as ex officio member. This organization has one of the most systematic of mechanical set ups. Its executive council is the highest court, and holds weekly meetings. There are two judicial boards, one composed of the presidents of sorority houses and one of the houses in town. It is headed by the vice president of the executive council and meets every two weeks. The other judicial group is the Judiciary board of Woman ' s Hall and Woman ' s Hall Annex. This is composed of advisory board members of these houses. W. S. G. A. began last spring to revise rules and worked over them until they were brought up to date. The most important occurrence that was brought about by this group was the new phone system in Woman ' s Hall. Much credit is due to Dean Ruth D. Noer and Miss Harriet French, of the Board of Governors. Several times in the past, attempts v rere made to get a new phone system to replace the two pay phones in the Hall, but it was not until v omen students the mselves took up the issue that the request was granted. This year, plans that W. S. G. A. had mapped out were somev hat delayed and thwarted by the necessity of devoting time to making the ap- proved regulations applicable actually as well as theoretically to all rooming houses. Although much remains as yet to be accomplished in this direction, the Association feels that quite an advancement has been made. Other activities of the group during the year included events of the permanent program. It was Student Govern- ment that sponsored Mothers ' weekend and had complete charge of Mountaineer Night during Freshman week. It sponsored the reception which Freshman guides gave to Freshmen women during the first semester, and it also spon- sored a concert given by the University Trio. Elections are held every spring by only those women who have paid their dues to the group. Candidates are usually proposed by the Nominating Committee.

THE ALL STATE Wl ITH the issuance of the 1935 Monticola, a new idea has been worked out, whereby the entire state is being represented throughout the book, both in pictures and in advertising. Thus the reason for the title of ■ All State Monticola . The aim being to tie up more closely the relation between the state and the school. The procedure of the book has been run along the lines in which the events occur throughout the year, athletics being the more dominant. Other features that have been added are the sections for the orchestra, drama, glee clubs, and for the golf, tennis and rifle teams. The members of the complete freshman class appear as do the individual photo- graphs of the sophomores. The snapshot sections, perhaps the largest in many years, cover the entire college year. They are informal and many were taken when the person or groups were not aware of the fact, thereby making them most interesting. THOMAS Edito MARSH B. GWYNN Managing Editor EDITORIAL STAFF G.
