Its purpose is: to encourage participation in sports, to promote the highest ideals of sportsmanship, and to stimulate better cooperation between -men and women through mass participation. Any woman student out for a W. A. A. activity with a grade average of a C is eligible for membership, and participation in business and social affairs of the organization. W. A. A. activities may be taken with or without college credit. Formerly, the student body constitution provided for one student to serve as both the commissioner of recreation and W. A. A. president. These oflices are now separately held, and each has a post on the board of commissioners, the controlling agency of all student affairs. Instead of sport managers being elected as W. A. A. oficers, officers are now elected from the entire W. A. A. membership. The system of awards of the W. A. A., formerly under student body control, is now a part of the W. A. A. constitution. Chico State is one of the many colleges attempt- ing to develop a more valid method of -making awards for athletic achievement. An honor system is expected soon to be in effect. By far the most outstanding event of the year is rated the A. W. S.-W. A. A. Convention held in Chico, April 1 and 2. Over one hundred delegates with faculty advisors, from fifteen colleges of the state, participated in the two-day affair. Topics discussed and questions interesting and vital to all American college women today, were: Awards, Coeducational Activi- ties, Ways of Acquainting High School Girls with W. A. A. Programs, and American Youth Hostels. Ruth Murphy, W. A. A. president, Miss Lola Osborn, faculty advisor, and a host of other interested workers, cooperated to make the event one which our college will long remember. The Sophomores Won the Spring Field Day honors by win- ning both the coveted Basketball and Field Day Cups. The Seniors, running a close second, were followed by the Freshmen, and the Juniors pulled up in fourth place. In keeping with desires of women students out for sports, credit will no longer be given for W. A. A. activities except in special cases. Chico State women join with hundreds of other women's athletic associations in acclaiming sport for sport's sake alone. Each sport season is conducted under the direction of the Board of Control of Women's Athletics, composed of oflicers of MISS OSBORN P. E. instructor and W. A. A. advisor RUTH MURPHY Marysville President of the W. A. A., 1938 R. AHLBORN Berkeley Basketball Manager, l 9 3 8 ARCHERY An activity of the fall season last year CAMPCRAFT Not a W. A.

Spring-Basketball, riding, tennis, advanced swimming, and life saving. Social activities of the 1937-1938 season were especially interesting. They included a Hobo Party, which combined a treasure hunt with many interesting hiking costumes and a barrel of fun, and Sport Nights, which included informal badminton, table tennis, volleyball, and basketball games, open to all college women interested in a good time. A Fireside Snack at old Bidwell Hall featured the Big Apple, and plenty of refreshments, woman students found the dance quite an appetizer. A large group took this opportunity to try the new dance craze in its initial appearance at Chico State.
