STUDENT FORUM Originally formed to provide a recognized outlet for student opinion and a means of information on the various topics suggested by the National Student Federation of America, Student Forum has this year emphasized the greater problems of defense rather than the lesser problems of the campus. Experts in the various fields of defense, especially those who have specialized in the activities of the Home front, have been invited to the campus to present forums on national and international questions for the enlightenment of the student body. Its well advertised meetings are held about twice a month, their duration zealously limited to one hour to encourage the attendance of a busy campus. Presiding over Student Forum is the Third Vice President of College Government Association, who is also the National Student Federation of America representative on campus. This year Ruth Wisdom held that responsible position. v [ 23 ]

STUDENT SENATE Student Senate, the legislative branch of College Government Association, is concerned with those student affairs which in any way affect the welfare of the student body as a whole. Its meetings are open to the public; at them any student problem may be introduced either for immediate action by that body or for recommendation to the College Council. The duties of the Senate are variable according to the needs of the students, but the actual functions of the thirty-seven members give voice to student opinion and thought. Its meetings are presided over by the First President of G. G. A.; there, student officers endeavor to represent the will of the majority and to create a better understanding of college government for those who are not directly associated with the legislative functions. The order of business in Senate may range from a tech- nical change in the Constitution to general discussions on the theory of democracy. It is the place for students to talk, to think, and to act.

W tie SOPHOMORE COUNCIL To the Blue Jacket Girls, upon being tapped as Freshmen on the basis of their first year ' s activity and attitude, falls a heritage rich in service, good fellowship, and honored tradi- tions. They are at the beck and call of every organization on campus: they usher, they waitress, they sell and register and collect and run errands. Theirs are the daily tasks so necessary to campus life: flag duty, bulletin board duty, con- vocation attendance, notices and records on student overcuts in convocation, to name but a few. But they are not content with helping out the worthy causes of other organizations, or with doing only those small daily tasks for their Alma Mater, and so they add to their activities the sponsorship of Torch Night, of special projects for or with old Sophomore Council girls, and the responsibility of a place in the Orientation Program of Freshman Week. Their sponsor is Second Vice President of College Govern- ment Association; this year genial, tolerant Marjorie Lambert filled that position. It is her task to guide them always into a more effective, a more constructive program, to gently reprimand those who have grown careless of their duties, to play peacemaker in times of sharp difference in opinion, and to offer her own wise suggestions when appealed to in times of stress and diffculty. She is considered by the Sophomore Council girls as their own personal property; in return she receives their idolatry and adoration. Chairman of the Council was wise, quietly efficient Betty Lewis; Vice Chairman was Marjory Loomis; Secretary, Nancy Jenkins, first semester, and Nancy Parker, second semester; Treasurer, Jean Lewis, and Parliamentarian, Dorothy Perkins. SOCIAL STANDARDS COUNCIL The Social Standards Council is the coordinating body of all phases of social and recreational life. It is their responsi- bility to publicize all social events and to secure participation in them. Its membership is made up of the General Advisor, Miss Olivia Dorman; General Chairman, Elizabeth Cooper; Chairman of Dance Committee, Jean Williams; Chairman of Play Night, Lucille Miller; Chairman of Student Alumnae Social Committee, Betty Chicoine; Chairman of the Residence Hall Social Committee, Jean Lloyd, Marie Myers, Marjorie Morrison, Jean Lewis, Octavia McGeachy and Helen Herriot; President of Day Students, Mary Parker; President of Woman ' s Athletic Association, Phil Eckland; Chairman of Outing Club Committee, Margaret Todd; Representative of Sororities, Aleta [ 1M |
