COUNCIL FOR STUDENTS Starting in l935 as a struggling student government group seeking recognition, the Student Council has evolved into what is generally recognized as the most influential student organization on the campus. Adopted this year, the new Student Association constitution gives the Council more authority. Under this new ruling, student regulation of student problems is assured by the election of councilmen to represent all campus organizations and the student body at large. lts influence extends to such important groups as Social Committee, Board of Publications, Homecoming Committee, Athletic Committee, etc. Other campus activities over which the Council extends authority are all fresh- man week goings-on, chapel programs, and the university anniversary program. The organization has complete charge of campus elections, and prints annually the freshman handbook. The Council cooperates with the administration and acts occasionally as co- ordinator between non-student groups and the student body. Two former Council projects which have achieved success are improving university publicity and stopping the suitcase parade. Council brain power has been turned on the problem of developing cheering sections to vitalize athletic contests. Various aspects of the fraternity and sorority situation have been investigated including the question of national affiliation. Other projects are the enlargement of the intramural program and the acquiring of a standard motion picture projector. Powers that be: Darl Gatchell, presidentg Roger Gifford, vice-president, Helen Sturgeon, secretary-treasurer. Faculty advisors: Florence Baird, C. G. Swanson, Iohn Bunn. . 23 .

FOR THINGS SOCIAL Long traditioned, the Social Committee meets each Monday with Dean A. Wrey Warner, capable chairman. Scarce heard among noise and thunder of other divers committees in action, this group puts forth prodigious efforts to cope with expanding social programs and new concepts of social life.

Basic aim of the committee is to help produce a more social-minded student. Names: Miss A. Wrey Warner, chairmanp Peg Curtiss, secretary. W.
