This the council proceeded to do by efliciently and wisely meeting and coping with all situations that have arisen in connection with its affairs this past year. 'l'hrough the medium of monthly meet- ings of the council with the male student body, students were able to express their wishes and opinions and, as a result, such improvements as those noted in the pool- room at Vhase llall, screens for dormitory windows, and open house at Chase Hall, have been successfully broug.5ht about. ln addition the council staged the an- nual mayoralty campaign, with the great- est of Success, provided the student body 112 I with a variety of football rallies during the fall, eliniaxed by the super-rally before the never-to-be-forgotten Bowdoin game. In order to bring about better cooperation of organizations on both sides of the campus, the council also took an active part on the committee known as the Col- lege Panel , which successfully handled the delicate chapel situation which arose during the winter. Furthermore the coun- cil was the organizing factor in a movement known as the Maine College Panel Organ- ization, which brought together the presidents and representatives of the stu- dent councils of the four Maine colleges. The activities of this group proved to be exceptionally valuable in the procuring of ideas on how the other councils operate as compared to ours. Along with its famous C'ommitte of ,lllllI'llCCll,n this year's coun- cil will go down as one of the most active and progressive governing bodies to func- tion on the Bates campus in some time.

tudent Government HE program of this organization is planned with a three-fold purpose: to aid each girl in finding at Bates the best possible social life: to promote co- operation and harmony between the stu- dents and the faculty and administration: and to develop in every girl a se11se of in- dividual responsibility through the honor system. To achieve these purposes the association has a very full and varied pro- gram including such activities as the an- nual banquet, a series of Sunday teas at which the faculty Wives are guests, a co-ed dinner, a Spring Tea Dance, and Fresh- man initiation. These are only a Suggestion of the way in which the association serves the girls. Of equal importance with the social ac- tivities are its governing duties, so organ- ized with the honor system as the basis as to put the responsibility of the Success of government upon the cooperation which each girl shows in regard to the rules, By a system of student proctoring, each dorm is presided over by Junior girls, a set-up entirely different from that ol' most other colleges, and one of which liates is very proud. The increasing popularity of Nlothei-'s Week-end, the joint project. of the YYomen's Student Government and the lYomen's Athletic Association, made it necessary to postpone the invitation to the mothers of Sophomore girls until next year. The formerly interesting program was added to this year by a very impressive demonstra- tion of the work of the Dance l'lub. Dur- ing this week-end the mothers have an opportunity to see Bates in action. Each board, aside from carrying on the traditional activities of the past, tries to add new features as thc girls show a need for t.hem. This year, among other things, an attempt has been made to strengthen t.he often too casual acquaint- ance with the town girls by having them as guests at the informal dorm parties.
