I. IQ. C. 1 l l. - The International Relations Club really developed an international flavor this year with so many of its members having served on the Continent and in the Pacific area. Those who attended grew in understand- ing of other peoples and other countries as G.l.'s re- lated their experiences throughout the World. There were round table discussions on China, lndia and South America, and Dr. Benninghoff spoke on lapan. The accompanying photo may be misleading. l.R.C. mem- bership is not limited to gals.

STUDENT CCUNCII. Interest in student government reached a high pitch during the last part ot the first semester and continued through the sec- ond semester when the twin questions of legality and constitu- tionality entered every conversation among students. The prob- lems were finally solved, temporarily, at least, by a committee of deans, but the concern engendered kept students on their toes the rest ot the year. The spectacle of half the student body hang- ing over the balcony, watching what proved to be almost a battle of blows on the chapel iloor, was spiced with the jack-in-the-box action ot Louis Haynes jumping up and Cummins pulling him down in his seat again., Student Council itself returned to the merit system and was captained by lack Foster. Projects tor the year included the re- working oi the constitution, the revision oi the merit system and the establishment oi a permanent holiday committee. On Home- coming Day, the council sponsored the all-campus and alum dance at the Armory, the tloat decorations, the tug-of-war and the judging of the iloats during the parade. .

CAMPUS CQUNCHCRS Franklinites were volubly apprecia- tive of the excellent jobs done by the F r e s h rn a n Councilors for Women. These girls were selected by the Dean of Women to assist her in acclirnating entering freshman Women to college life. Whether it was to direct new residents to the showers or carry bag- gage and bed clothing, they were on the beam, assisting and advising. They arrived with the beginning of orientation week, simplified the com- plexities of college adjustment for the novices, and with a friendly word of encouragement, started the young- sters on their new careers.

That's why most disciplinary 'problems of the girls' dormitory are turned over to House Council, known in formal circles as the Women's Self-Governing Board. President Crystal Fox rapped the au- thoritative gavel which controlled ap- proximately l5U girls who resided on the F r a n k l i n campus. Completely democratic with three elective repre- sentatives trom the quintet of campus social organizations, the organization recognizes the combined rights of con- test and appeal from the feminine con- stituents. Sponsored activities included the formal Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, replete with specially-planned programs. And the dorm Christmas party, held after hours for pajarneers, with skits 'presented by -the various social groups, was something nobody missed. Hummell.
