Student Senate The governing body of the college is the Student Senate which consists of one representative from each of the eight social organizations, the Ministerial Association, the non-affiliated students on-campus and off-campus, class presidents and the president of the student body. Every Thursday night the Senate meets in the Faculty Room in Greene Hall under the leadership of the President, Bill Iackson, Secretary, Mary McCoy, and Treasurer, Fred Pryor. They discuss the problems concerning school activities and the mechanics of student government. This was the first Senate under the new Student Association Constitution which passed last year and the wish of the Senate is that this Constitution be effective in future years as well as now. The Constitution Committee spent much time going over each detail in the Constitution and By-Laws and made some amendments. The Senate had charge of choosing the Home- coming Co-Chairmen, Cheerleader elections, fresh- man elections, class oiiicers, student body president elections in the spring, and the elections of the associate business managers and associate editors of the Taller and Student. The new activity begun by this Senate was an orientation meeting for the new Senate taking over f - ' b or the year 1955 56. A calendar was printed with the Senate,s activities for each month. One important branch of the Student Senate is the Board of Control which is composed of three members: Mrs. Prather, Dr. Hilton and Mr. Truex. The Board is concerne d with the management of student publications. 24 L6dd67'5!ZZ'f7 i ,Eff t :H .www --f--1 - -P --- Hu fact wo. the sch' is r serw and hav plan Act Pici mui corr was the Fran I . , W W Q 20.51, 11 , 1 ,A ' 5 a mz, 'iz' . it 'Sf' Y , ,f 4. f ' '54 s N- V.. pil! 1 Lead

One of the main purposes of this committee is to build up school spirit through activities. One of the biggest single jobs of the committee is managing The Hub. This year Arvilla Neef served as Hub manager with the help of Iody Olson and Dick Davis as Iunior Hub Managers. They have been successful in making The Hubw a better place to spend those relaxing moments. One of the first activities which the Student Activities Committee sponsored was the All-School Picnic, which was held at the ovens. Neita Proh- muth and Hubert Neth were appointed by the committee as co-chairmen of this event. A program was given which presented some of the V.l.P.'s of the campus and gave a preview of the year's events. Seated, left to righzf: Iody Olson, Iune Fisher, Hubert Frame, Scott McClary, Iralee Reppeto, Neita Prohmuth, Di Neth, Then in the fall a Sadie Hawkins Day Party was held. Everyone went 'LDog Patchi' for the day. Iody Olson and Ron Hubbard were the planners of this successful event. In keeping with the holiday spirit a Christmas Party was given just before vacation. Iralee Reppeto and Dick Willoughby did the honors as everyone enjoyed doughnuts and cocoa with their Christmas carols. The last big party of the year was Rhythm Round-up, done up in the true western style. This is the time for the organizations to compete in group singing. Another relatively new activity sponsored by the committee is the coffee chat. These are informal gatherings at which some faculty member or guest on campus leads in a discussion or provides some form of entertainment. Sue Fechner, Arvilla Neef. Stcz11ding.'
