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

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 .

Made up of the Inter-Sorority and Inter-Fraternity Councils, the Inter-Organization Council has the final say-so on all matters of common concern to the fraternities and sororities. The magic Word Homecoming means not much until this organization goes into action, as it sponsors the Homecoming Dance, largest, happiest function of the year. Individually and apart, the Inter-Sorority Council does such things as regulate sorority pledging activi- ties, mediate inter-sorority disputes, and give various teas. Also definitely mentionable is the Inter- Sorority Formal, official opener of campus formal activities. Names to remember: Vera Welty, president: lune Reed, vice-president: and Lucille lump, secretary- treasurer. The other fifty per cent, the Inter-Fraternity Council, does a like job for the fraternities in such matters as pledging and mediating. Best known and probably best remembered is the council's rare feat of bringing a big name band to the campus every yearewithout losing money! Names to remember: Quentin Bowers, president, Don Mason, vice-president, Gaylord Groff, secretary, George Iohn, treasurer.
