26 SENATE COMMITTEES WOMEN’S INITIATION COMMITTEE Headed by Gloria Johnston, the Women’s Initiation Committee consisted of Betty Mixon, Bonnie Heien, Vir- ginia Speaker, Dot Christopher and Pat Couch. This year an attempt was made in spite of some rather strong opposi- tion to revamp the old program of initiation and make it more of a program of orientation. The idea was, by abolishing some of the old traditions, to put initiation on a more serious plane in order to help freshmen women feel more at home at Hendrix from the start. MEN’S INTRA-MURAL COMMITTEE Under the leadership of Ralph VanLandingham, the Men’s Intra-Mural Comunittee scheduled all men’s intra- mural activities, including touch football, basketball, and softball. This committee determines the eligibility of players (men who letter in a varsity sport are not eligible to participate in that intra-mural sport), arbitrates any floor disputes that arise and picks the all-star teams. Mem- bers of the committee were Cotter Mixon, Pennix Thrash, Tom DuPree, Bobby Thompson, Tommy ‘Thompson, Homer Barrett and Lamar Davis. WOMEN’S INTRA-MURAL COMMITTEE Composed of a representative from each dormitory corridor and ‘Town Girls, the Women’s Intra-Mural Com- mittee has the job of planning and co-ordinating the women’s athletic activities, working with the W.A.A. Coun- cil to plan football, basketball, volleyball, softball, ping- pong, badminton and archery tournaments. Patsy Hixon was chairman with Jackie Bell, Ann Wilford, Ann Machen, Catherine Graham, Barbara Meacham, Mary Margaret Bird, and Patsy Bennett assisting her.

SENATE COMMITTEES STUDENT ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE This committee has the responsibility of governing the extra-curricular activities of each member of the stu- dent body. A student who is taking part in more non- academic work than he can handle is advised by the com- mittee to drop part of it. A point system, based on the amount of time consumed by each extra-curricular activity, is used in determining the load each student carries. Betty Harton was chairman of the committee with Morriss Hen- ry, Joe Loudermilk, Bill Lefler and Bob Mount as com- mittee members. CHAPEL COMMITTEE Through the year, the Student Chapel Committee tried to provide a variety of interesting programs for every chapel program not already scheduled by the Faculty Chapel Committee. The committee worked jointly with the Faculty Chapel Committee which consisted of Mr. Copes, Miss Williams and Mr. Upton. George Mitchell was chairman, with Dot Christopher, Betty Harton, Clint Burle- son, Fred Arnold and Ted Blair serving as committee mem- bers. MEN’S INITIATION COMMITTEE The aim of the Men’s Initiation Committee was to acquaint the freshmen with the Hendrix way of life. Be- sides “hitting a brace” and “sounding off”, the boys were required to do such jobs as cleaning up the campus and polishing the mail-boxes. At the end of five weeks, Billy Bob Bullock was chosen model freshman on the basis of attitude and school spirit. Hugh Mixon was chairman of the committee composed of Steve Ralph, Joe Bates, John Hays, Jerry Delleney, Ed Moore, and Eddie Walton.

PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE The Publications Committee supervised the student publications, the College Profile and the Troubadour. The main function of the committee is the nomination of the publication heads. All publication problems go through the committee to the senate. This year the committee recommended that surplus funds from last year’s Trouba- dour be used to purchase a darkroom enlarger to be used by all publications. Serving with Lloyd Sims, chairman, were Guy Shannon, Jackie Ballew, Pat Couch and Nita Lane. Mr. Faris was faculty advisor. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The religious activities on the campus were under the direction of the Religious Activities Committee, Buzz Crouch, chairman. Working with Buzz to promote, as well as to direct the activities were Mitzi Roscher, Virginia Speaker, Margaret Rich, Peggy Hardin, Wanda Ward, Jackie Crockett, Ed Hollenbeck, Allan Brockway, Fred Arnold, Joe Loudermilk, Bill Lefler and Leonard White. The committee sponsored Religion and Life Week and encouraged participation in such activities as H. C. A. and morning worship. SOCIAL COMMITTEE Under the joint chairmanship of Luke Quinn and Mary Buthman, the Social Committee co-ordinated the social activities for the entire student body for the year. With the faculty sponsor, Miss Marie Williams, the com- mittee planned the President’s Reception and Merry-Mix- Up, the Freshman Frolic, informal parties, after-the-game- dances, the faculty-student Christmas dinner and the Christ- mas formal. It worked through other organizations spon- soring the Thursday after-dinner parties in the Game Room. The committee is composed of twenty-five upper- classmen.
