SOUTH HALL COUNCIL displays all the politics, diplomacy, and general aspects of any state or federal group of its kind. Its purpose is to govern the stu- dents in the menls dormitory or rather handle the problems that come up because democracy is at its peak in the South and Dixon dormitories. Bill Neel is president. Tou're a married man so I suppose you don't need to be told that the men aren't the only ones who govern, because women are good at that too. NORTH HALL COUNCIL is the women broad' ers efforts at governing by the consent of the gov' erned. Everything that can be handled by the student officers is turned over to them and permission as well as discipline cases are adequately handled by the bosses under the supervision of Dean Bernstorff. Mary fane Cornell of the Senior Class was president this past year. The traveling students, however, have a different type of problem because they come and go and conf tacts aren't so permanent. TRAVELING WOMEN'S COUNCIL is the sister organization of the traveling men's council and operf ates on practically the same subjects, but with the feminine touch-they have overstuffed ,furniture inf stead of benches. I'm sending a couple of pictures of the women's traveling room. I took them for the year book and they are extra prints. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, the president of the women's council is Kay Kennie from Belle Vernon. We went through there when we went home last week. Well I have a class to make now so I 'll close.

Dear Granny, COLLEGE PLAYERS certainly did a bangfup prof gram this year. They bounced from straight comedy to a touch of fantasy and came down the home stretch with a sophisticated satire. The new director, Miss Lotta Iune Miller, closed her first year with three definite hits: You Can't Take It With 'Yo-u, High Torf, and First Ladyf' Veterans and plebes turned in first rate perform' ances. In our opinion, the laurels were carried off by Bergie, Clod, Dudzak, Butler, Weber, and Helen Budzonaski. Ed Bergstein is their president. ALPHA PSI OMEGA membership is the goal of all the Thespians on the campus. Only the best of the actors and production staff make it. In Marcli they held a swanky tea for district high school drama coaches at the annual Drama Festival. Ed Ceglarz, ace production man, presides over the fraternity's meetings. IUNIOR PLAYERS is the first rung in the ladder to the honorary dramatic fraternity. This year, under the direction of Mr. E. Clayton McCarty, the club wrote, staged, and acted their onefact plays. The best of the plays were presented to the public in several evening performances. The three major productions of College Players were bolstered by outstanding funior Players playing supporting roles. The three dramatic organizations combine to sponf sor one of the hnest social functions of the year- the IuniorfCollege Players dinner-dance. There they announce the persons turning in the outstanding per' formances of the year, those receiving distinguished service awards and membership into Alpha Psi Omega, and the lucky actor or actress whose name enters the College Players Hall of Fame. 22
