tl l J f-fN Y. M. C. A. The Alma College Y. NI. C. A. during the past year has become a part of the state organization. Under the skillful and painstaking direction of the new State student Secretary, Roy McColluch, a splendid state-wide program has been launched which will unite all the college associations in Michigan. This has been the first year of this program and already results are apparent, and the future for next year looks even brighter. Through this organization many prominent speakers have been made available. Among these were George Collins, Frank W. Libby, Gilbert Lovell, and others of 110410. These addressed the student body on world problems and discussed them later in open forums. A series of talks on China, treating this country from social, economic, political, and religious angles, was given by Professor Clack and was well attended by the students. ' The annual Opening Reception, the Stag Pajama Parade, an All-College Hallowe'en Party, the Stag Bathrobe Paradev, and several receptions in Wright Hall after basketball games were well attended. Facing a large financial delicit at the beginning ofthe year, the Y has man- aged to get on its feet in this respect also. At the joint banquet of the retiring and the incoming Cabinets of the Y. M. and Y. W., held April 16th, The Task of Carrying On was handed over by the retiring OHIICCFS to the new ones. With the Spirit ever helping them in their attempts, there is no doubt that next year the Y. M. C. A. will be enabled to reach the student life and be of more service on the campus.

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. !
