CLASS 01F 11933 MORGAN LEWIS l t E President ANNE NICOL Vice-President The seniors of DePauW in 1933 are just as bored and boresome, naive and sophisticated, erudite and uneducated, conceited and ewell, anyway, as those of Harvardes first gradu- ating class in 1640. Later hours, lighter courses, no final examsethese unwar- 'ranted privileges give the seniors that unconscious swagger, so that nearly all the persevering souls Who attain this omnipotent sta- tion have the same outlook on lifeethe world awaits their genius. Then they graduate and ZEIld DePauw moves on the same. This year they face conditions with apparently no solu- tion and still their modest spirit is, mWe are the chos- en generation. We shall reform the worldTeWell, good luck! MARY PRICKETT Secretary MARION YODER Treasurer t22h Ff! v' lay;

STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMETTIEJE Student Affairs Committee repre- sents the most powerful instrument of student control upon the campus tand little Audrie just laughed and laughed because she knew it couldnlt do a thing. Instituted to serve as a go-between for faculty and students under the old Student Council, the Student Af- fairs Committee has become another subject for stories for The DePauW. Its main function at the present time seems to be to tone down recom- mendations of the Student Senate, before sending them to the faculty for fmal judgment. Theoretically, this group handles problems Which concern both student body and ad- ministrationeor, rather, all gripesl, Which students may have or feel they have. The usual formula for considera- tion by the Student Affairs Commit- tee seems to be for it to go into con- ference on some recommendation for the Student Senate, change some minor detail in order to have some excuse for existence, and then for- ward the matter to faculty and ad- OD ministration for the final ccyea or nay . It has been suggested that, since the Student Senate elects the student representatives to the Student Affairs Committee, the latter is a sort of up per house for the former. This brings up the question of How high is upwe-Which may or may not be of the same calibre as most controver- sies arbitrated by the S. A. C. Depending upon current condie tions and pressing business the com- mittee meets twice a month. In order to make it seem fair to the students and to outsiders, there are only siX faculty members and seven students ethree from the Senate, three from the student body at large, and the president of the Senate. Although the changes in personnel are a little too rapid for the casual observer, the following seem to be on the committee most of the time- Vice-President Longden, Dean Al- vord, Miss Worth, and Professors Shearer and Hixson-and, from the students, Mourer, S. Smith, Avery, Shephard, Cragen, M. Smith, and McGaughey.

CLASS OF 1934 JOHN BUNN Chairman GERALDINE POWELL Shades of proms, week- ends, upperclassman privi- leges, and Mirages! The parade moves on, and bud- ding youth reaches matur- ity h such sophisticated maturity. For the Junior, hope springs eternal, and even black-lists can not quench enthusiasm. This arrogant collegian has lost l the unsubstantiated con- ceit of a Sophomore and not yet attained the Sen- ior,s polished ego. His situ- ation is transitory, but in the transition he asserts that all knowledge, all life, and all love are hishpar- ticularly love, Which for 34 brought many fatali- ties. Of course, the Juniors, just assuming responsibili- ties, already are carrying them better than the Sen- iors did, and far better- 1 who would dare doubt it l hthan the Sophomores ever Will.
