McClellan, Ferguson, Freemyer, Watkins, Anderson, Bennett, Thomas, Condren Lia working with the students ... Last year the Senate and administration worked out a plan to reorganize the Student- Faculty Relations Committee. This committe e would, in turn, organize interest groups in which students and faculty could actually meet each other on informal terms. Lists of general interests were accordingly compiled and given to each student at registra- tion to be checked and returned to the office. These lists were then tabulated by the commit- tee and the clubs organized. Interest groups which have been active during the year include: Films Club, Chess Club, Fishing Club, music group, Card Club, and picnic group. Projects sponsored during the year were: obtaining a pool table for the recreation room in Martin Hall, sponsoring articles in the Profile on controversial rules and regulations, obtaining permission for the lounge to be opened earlier, and providing for the placement of magazines in the lounge for the students’ diversion.

SENATE A program designed to suit both student and administration interests and to promote maximum cooperation between the two was initiated and car- ried out by this year’s Student Senate, government organ of the Hendrix student body. ‘This program, developed by members of the Senate immediately after their election in the Spring of 1951, and aided by student suggestio ns and proposals during the year, provided a workable administrative system for the student body. Faced with a $150 deficit in the Student Activity Fund, the Senate took economy measures to make up the deficit without causing Hendrix students to suffer as a result of cuts in Senate committee appropriations. As a result of a questionnaire submitted to the students early in the year, asking for their views on vital student issues, the Senate took action on various problems connected with campus life. A complete new program of Freshman orientation was submitted to the college and was approved as school policy. An intensive program, designed to promote good will for Hendrix and increase future enrollment, was car- ried out. Action on student forums, student-faculty relations, the cut system, honor system, Chapel, and many other Campus issues was taken. Dick Farr Peggy Thomasson Acting as host for the first meeting of the Ark- ansas Federation of Student Senates, the Hendrix Sen- ate entered into a program for improving Arkansas college relations. Chapel programs, the traditional Christmas gift to Mrs. Hulen, the Campus Kitty drive, and sponsoring of gifts and memorials for the new Chapel and Auditorium occupied much Senate time. Dick Farr, president, Peggy ‘Thomasson, vice- president, members James Mosley, Robert French, ‘Tommy Thompson, Richard Moose, Bo Brewer, Tom- my Pryor, Jim Deer, and Barney Boyett, and secre- taries Nona Eagle and Margaret Rich helped make the year 1951-52 a progressive one for student govern- ment at Hendrix.
