The Women ' s Student Council swung into action as soon as the members arrived on the campus. As the representative body of Becht Hall, they were assigned the special duty of acquainting the freshmen with dormitory regula- tions and remindmg the upperclasswomen that Lights Out at 10:30, no ankle socks at dinner, and dancing until 7:15 only were rules still in effect. A Halloween house party was given in honor of Mrs. McKinney, who for seventeen years had made the life of each dorm girl much more comfortable by the faithful execution of her tasks as housekeeper, and by such other services as hunting up rugs to match bedspreads and towels, or securing an extra desk for some hard-working senior. In order to raise funds for such events as the Christmas t ea given annually in honor of the women students outside the dormitory, faculty women, and faculty wives, the council took charge of the Coca Cola machine in the dining hall of Becht Hall, an added service to the thirsty girls residing there. In October the freshmen members, Ruth Brasuell and Phyllis Womer, completed the council which already consisted of Jean Dressier, Jean Tait, Bur- dell Giles, Audrey Ruth Barnes, Ruth Kapp, Ruth Trescher and Marjorie Stewart.
