■ I r J V BANYAN ' 31 lAMES A. CULLIMORE President Student Government Fortunate indeed were the Associated Students of Brigham Young University to have as their head for the year 1930-31 an in- dividual who has real- ly felt the responsihil- ity of his position, and who has studied the needs of the students as a group in order more completely to dis- charge his duties. He has never shirked his responsibility, and, on the other hand, has taken a lethargic stu- dent body and has animated it until big things have been accomplished in almost every field of student activity. James Cullimore, A. S. B. Y. U. President, deserves a hand for the splendid results of his administration. The various student programs during the year have been of an unusu- ally high standard. In contrast to the Monday and Wednesday assemblies, which were sparsely attended, the Friday gatherings have always found an overflow of College Hall. The big reason for this demands untold praise for the consistent work of Bernice Barton, vice president, who never failed n her duty of preparing attractive programs on Fridays. A new feature which was inaugurated this year was the exchange of programs with the sister institutions of higher learning in Utah. It is ex- pected that the practice will grow with the years. The feature has a most commendable end in that it encourages more harmonious and friendlv rela- tionship with the student bodies of the other institutions of tlie state.

BANYAN ' 31 Dean of Women The work of the Dean of Woiiicii is willi the whole life of the student. It is the special duty of the dean to har- monize and fuse the professional ideals with the personal; she must not only look to see whether the essential influences of the school are reaching the individual and getting heal- thy reactions from her, hut she must interpret them to her, fill gaps, apply additional empha- sis where there is need. The dean ' s conferences are but one means of setting up this consciousness. They should integrate the work of the class room, the social units, the free activities, the home life of the girl in all of which the dean plays an impor- tant, if somewhat inconspicuous, role. Consideration of health, of dress and manners, of social relations, of community responsibilities and benefits from the standpoint of the individ- ual life should be blended with the consideration of problems as they affect the members of the home, the group, and the family; the recognition of the supreme profession of woman as citizen, home maker, mother. NETTIE NEFF SMART Dean uj Women V V [15] To know Dean Smart is to know the more conserva- tive spirit of Brig- ham Young Uni- versity, as the Dean of Women is ever the guardian of the fine and high stand- ards of the institu- tion. Contact with her ever brings the student back to a clear realization that after all there is treasure in the more sterling char- acter o f strictly high standard.

JOHN DALTON Yell Master One of the first actions of tlie 1930-31 Student Council was to cut the number of officers of the Council for the sake of more efficient handling of problems. As Council personnel was before, its unwieldliness rendered it incapable of speedily and efficiently coping with urgent and iniporlant problems, the task of assembling a quorum being of too herculean propor- tions for the best benefits of the students. As the Council assembles now only the president of the Associated Students, the first and second vice presidents, editor of tlie Y News, editor of the Banyan, aiul a Faculty Representative, are regular official members. Student heails ol utiier departments were invited to attend Council only when problems pertaining to their respective departments were discussed, and these officers were also granted the right to appear before the Council at ain lime without in itation whenever there was need for Council action.
