Another duty which lies upon this body is the selection and appointment of publication heads. Overcoming a serious shortage of upperclass tal- ent in these fields, the senate appointed the Profile head as acting editor until she should meet the requirements. This plan was also followed with the Troubadour staff. Headed at the beginning of the year by Ruth Murphy, the senate embarked on a year of great successes. When Buth graduated at the end of the first quarter, her place was taken by Paul Bumpers, vice-president. One of their major accomplishments of the year was the setting-up of a Student Committee on Be- ligion composed of representatives of each of the religious qroups on the campus. Requests from various relief organizations re- ceived the full support of the senate. National War Belief and the Paralysis Drive were among many benefitted, Also under discussion in the group were plans to get a blood donor unit established on the campus, but the unit was unable to stay here. Completing another active year on the Hendrix campus, the senate has again proved that student body government is a possible and workable thing. MARY ELIZABETH CLEGG PEGGY Io PHILLIPS .
