It is made up of the presidents and vice-presidents of the upperclass dormitories and the presidents of the Freshman houses. During the second semester one girl is chosen from each Freshman house to be a non-voting representative. Women's Dorm Council is one of the most efficient organizations on campus. Each Wednesday it meets in the Union to try to solve the many problems that concern dorm life. In Dorm Council's hands rests the authority to make all decisions concerning dormitory rules and regulations. This year Dorm Council sponsored a party for the freshman and a dessert bridge for the housemothers. At the Freshman Party, each freshman house presented a five-minute skit, for the entertainment of all present. Dorm Council has joined with Men's Dorm Council to activate the Dorm Bagpiper, a newspaper which is printed exclusively for dorm students. 28
