Sfztdezzt Ajfairs C0m111i1'1'ee Medzum for Students and Faculty The Student Affairs Committee, composed of an equal number of student and faculty members, serves as a body in which student or faculty opinions, suggestions, and requests are aired and discussed. At its meetings on the first Wednesday of every month, the Committee on Student Affairs passes on various petitions, chalks up the social calendar for the year, establishes the dates for student theatrical presentations, approves organizational activi- ties and meeting times, and has the power to ratify the elections of faculty and student members of the Publications Board. . The purpose of the committee is a genuinely democratic one in that such an equal representation of students and faculty affords a fair and diplomatic final judgement on various campus issues. Frank Dudley was elected president of the Student Affairs Committee by the Student Executive Board. This Board was also instrumental in selecting the other eleven members of the Affairs Committee, of which Virginia Johnson was chosen recording secretary. Top row: V. Lindgren, Prof. C. G.
