I I C M II hai 1 I 1 I K-6 THE STUDENT COUNCIL In glancing back over the record of Student Councils, several changes were noted. One of these changes is in the membership, which at present consists of fifteen members. The four class presidents are ex-officio members. Acting with these are four more representatives from the Senior Class, three from the Junior Class, two from the Sophomore Class, and one from the Freshman Class. The faculty sends one representative who advises the Council and brings messages and suggestions from the faculty. Another very important change that has occurred in the Council is its financial control over various campus organizations, including, Athletic Board of Control, WVeekly Almanian, Gratory and Debate, Y. NI. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. 'I-Iereto- fore, these organizations have met and controlled- their affairs alone. As was stated last year, these boards or organizations have a different personnel at each meeting. Consequently members were not well informed concerning the matters contracted before or the financial conditions of the school activity fund. From now on, a member is appointed from the Student Council to act with these boards to help direct the budgets. All bills are now passed by the Student Council before they can be paid. In this way there is an accounting for all bills and money spent. Last year the students voted to set aside a part of the Student Activity Fee for entertainments. This fall the Council, acting with the faculty, drew up a program of entertainments, consisting of lectures, musicals and plays. ' The program consisted of eight numbers, some of which are still to be given. Although this program has been criticized severely by students, the Council hopes to profit by its mistakes and secure a better or more satisfactory program next year. The old, undying question of enforcing campus rules has come up repeatedly this last year. Campus rules and traditions have to be enforced-but how- that was the- greatest difficulty. Paddling seemed inadvisable until the Marshal found that most all colleges our size and larger use the same method of punish- ment and often in a more extreme sense of the word. However, the Council de- cided that punishment would not be confined to paddling only. If he cares to, the law-breaker may do a required amount of work on the campus instead of taking the Royal Order of Forty-five Degrees. The Student Body should feel that the Council is coming to the front and improving into a more efficient body. These few Changes have been helped a great deal, but there is still a great deal of room for improvement. The present oH'icers and members are: . SINCLAIR TEBO . . . . .

x.4,T: CD. w .X 4., ,V it THE WRIGHT HALL SENATE I ln March, 1922,'the women of XVright Hall organized to test their ability for self-government. Clauses from constitutions for self-government in Various East- ern schools, being found applicable to the needs of Alm,a's campus, were used as a basis for the constitution of the VVright Hall Senate. The organization which was thus founded is adequate and efficient. Every class elects one representa- tive from each society. Nominations for President come from the girls as a group. The Senate then elects the President from these nominations. It also elects the other officers. The purpose of the Senate is to eo-operate with the Dean of Womeii in pro- moting high standards of honor and integrity in matters of personal conduct, and to maintain order and discipline among the women of Wright Hall, The work of the Senate this year has not been spectacular, but many questions of discipline have arisen which have been justly and satisfactorily settled. Its benefits increase as the organization grows older and the girls accept more re- sponsibility for the standards and traditions of Wright Hall. Through its work the Senate has created ar better understanding between the NVrigh,t Hall women and the Dean than would otherwise be possible, which is one ofits greatest accomplishments. !
