Secretary Clarence Schukneeht Every enrolled student at Concordia is a member of the Coetus, the name by which the Student Body is known. Its power and duties are governed entirely by a Con stitution, the basis of which is Robert ' s Rules of Order. As questions concerning the general welfare of the College arise they are brought up for discussion in the monthly meetings of the Coetus. For this purpose of promoting special interest committees are appointed annually. Upon the Executive Board rests the most responsibility since it shapes the policies of the Student Body. Regular meetings are held by this board and it issues regularly a report at the business meetings of the Coetus, which take place on the first Friday of each month. In these meetings all committees report on their activities, and matters pertaining to college life receive consideration and discussion. However no final step is taken in any important issue before it has been carefully weighed and considered by the Executive Board. This measure serves as a balance and adds greatly to the efficiency of control. Among the committees which supervise the various affairs and matters of general interest are: the Athletic Board, which together with Pres. Barth as faculty represen- tative, controls the finances of the Coetus; the Commissary Committee, which decides upon matters pertaining to the daily menu ; the Grounds and Building Committee whose business it is to keep the campus and structures clean ; the Entertainment Com- mittee, which provides for concerts in order to keep up the college spirit and drive away homesickness.

Koehneke. . . . fafz y Advisor Among the organizations at Concordia the Staff maintains a high position. This is especially evident when one considers the task assigned to it, namely the producing of the College Annual. Thus the Staff of ' 25 has also met with this difficult undertaking and has for the last months worked faithfully toward making this volume of The White and Blue a success. Being human, we naturally have made mistakes, but the Staff can honestly sa ' that this publication is a result of incessant labor, the best it could produce. It realizes, however, that whatever measure of success it has attained is due in no small measure to the cooperation of those who have contributed freely of their time, resources, and patronage. In view of this assistance on their part the Staff takes this opportunity to extend its thanks to : The Faculty for having granted the permission of this publication ; Prof. Paul Koehneke, who generously served as facultv advisor; Mr. Henry Rische, ' 24, for the graduate panels and the class cartoons; Mr. Fred Kreiss, ' 25, for the many drawings that embellish these pages; Miss Hengstbach, our nurse, for her efforts in securing ads; Messrs. C. Thalacker, C. Schukneclit, N. iiorchardt, ' 26, who acted in the capa- city of sub-staff ' ; Our advertisers, without whom this book would have been an impossibility. In short to all, who have in one wa ' or the other played a part in promoting the publication of tiie 1925 White and Blue. [661

Oesch A peaceful retreat, where the student may, amidst simple yet dignified surround- ings, dexote his leisure hours to those dear sympathetic friends — books. That is the library. The 5000 volumes contained in our library serve this purpose, to instruct and amuse those fond of reading. Besides this, there is the Sihler Reference Library for the College Department, which offers 575 additional valuable reference volumes. Furthermore, about 500 volumes of the Faculty Library are placed at the disposal of the students. A number of the best magazines and periodicals, besides leading Mil- waukee and Chicago newspapers, are offered for those who wish to aquaint themselves with current events. The care of the library is intrusted to a stafiF of twelve students who freeh offer their services. By maintaining order and discipline, by keeping damaged books in repair, and providing for the purchase of new books, they strive to make the library as useful as possible. However, our library is far from ideal, because of its meagerness and unsuitable location. Being situated in a dormitory its thin partitions cannot effectualh exclude the bustle of the halls and living rooms. With eyes turned to the newly organized Alumni .Association as an aid to the library cause, we look forward to the time when our building program will be further carried out, and Concordia will have a modern and fiill - equipped Student Library.
