STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Student Government Association of Bradford is made up of the entire student hodv, and is headed by a council of twelve. The Council consists of a president and a vice-president, who are seniors, a secretary-treasurer from the freshman class, three senior members-at-large, three freshman memhers-at-large, the chairman of the House Committee, and the president of the senior and freshman clafsts. The purpose of the Student Government is to make and enforce rules which regulate the college life and guarantee the welfare of the students. It is an organization to help the girls with any problems which may arise individually or in a group. Here at Bradford we live in a miniature democratic community in which the girls learn to adjust themselves and live accordingly to the regulations set up hy the Council. This year, one of the most important aims of the Council has been in promoting the idea of individual and group responsibility. The student hodv has shown interest in earnestly helping to share and participate in the Governments activities. Outside of the governing functions of the Council, it has sponsored a dance for midshipmen from Harvard. The Council has also drawn up the Freshman Handbook which has been very successful and helpful to the incoming freshman. With the guidance and advice of Miss Bell and Miss Adkins, thc Student Government ,Xssociation has had an interesting and successful year.

HOUSE COMMITTEE Working side by side with Bradford's student government is the House Committee, consisting of two girls from each corridor, one the chairman, the other her assistant. Chairmen serving the first half of the year are always a group of seniors, each one choosing her assistant, usually a freshman, in order to represent the entire student body. The second half of the year, each corridor elects its own representatives. From this group, the president and secretary are elected who also serve for just one term. In order to insure helpful cooperation between the two governing bodies, the president of House Committee is a member of the Student Government Council, and from time to time, the president of the student government attends the House Committee meetings. Listed among some of the House Committees accomplishments this year was the system worked out for answering the telephones on each floor. No longer is one bothered by the incessant ringing of a phone. Then the conjestion around the post office was partially eliminated by sketches and sign posts in that area. To add to these is the new project of salvaging paper started by the war council. House Committee has cooperated by rounding up a different volunteer from each corridor for the job every week. Drain stopped up, iron doesn't heat, 'glass in the door of fourth east broken again, no plugs in the laundrys and the rubber spray won't spray, T00 IWNM Noire. All these items and many many more are reported to House Committee and taken care of as quickly and efficiently as is possible. In order to keep the student body up to date on House Committee activities, corridor meetings are held each month to discuss any situations that might need improvement or any suggestions to help keep the House running smoothly.
