Candidates are nominated by open political caucuses. In the past years, two political parties have existed, the Progressives, and the United Students. This year, a year of changes, a general student up-rising created the Student Reform League which based its cam- paign on a platform demanding more student government. With candidates, a platform and plenty of spirit, the parties descend upon the campus in all the glory of big time politicians. Torch- light parades, and snake dances winding down Commercial boost the soap-box orators vieing for the students vote.

by Arlie Crabb and Maurme Sc'bwm'm The Advisory Office performs functions re- quiring tact and sympathetic understanding on the part of the persons who fill these offices. An integral part of the liberal education is cen- tered around their offices. Many important conferences are held behind closed doors for the benefit of the student. The duties of the advisors include counsel- ing the students of the campus on personal and group problems, directing their activities, approv- ing and supervising their rooming and boarding houses, and enforcing standards of conduct. Perplexing problems that women students may encounter are brought to the attention of Dr. Minnie Miller, XVomen's Student Advisor. However, Miss Milleris services extend much farther than just the ironing out of possible difficulties. She acts as the official recorder of the social calendar, and tries to prevent con- flicts in the turmoil of scheduling social events. Miss Miller personally attends many of the social functions sponsored by campus organizations. Patience, generous consultation, and calm under- standing of student problems are assets to Miss Miller's work. ,Student Advisors In addition to her duties as an advisor Miss Miller heads the Modern Language Department, and conducts classes in Spanish and French. Miss Miller joined the faculty as a professor in the modern languages in 1929. She received her B. S. Ed. at this school, her masterls and her doctor's degrees from the University of Chicago.

Some- times with banner headlines announcing a land- slide for one of the parties, sometimes with a small conservative story listing the new mem- bers, The Bulletin carries the big story. Every- thing is once again on an even keel and Pro- gressive once again greets the United Student with a hearty, Hi.,' The Student Council has control over the budget provided by the students through the activity fee. Practically every service a student receives, such as magazines in the Hornet's Nest, dances, golfing privileges, and movie convoca- tions are financed and organized by the Council. The student governing body conducts all elections and is the official voice of the students. voicing their opinions and wishes to the higher governing bodies of the school. Working with them is a new body, created this year to coordin- ate the student and faculty ideas and problems, The Student-Faculty Adjustment Board. Here the current issues of the day concerning both faculty and students are discussed by six students and six faculty members.
