GOVERNMENT The Student Council President SAM GREEN Vice President HAROLD FULTON Secretary DOROTHY Mc ADAM THE STUDENT COUNCIL THREE years ago the Student Council had its origin through the efforts of Dr. Foster ' who presented to the student body of the college a plan for student participation in government at Indiana. The constitution was prepared by several members of the faculty who were interested in this step in advancement. The purpose of the organization is to promote in every way possible the best interests of the college; to regulate all matters of student conduct which do not fall under the jurisdiction of the administration and the faculty; and, in general, to serve as a means by which the needs of the students may be presented to the council. During the past year the council has attempted to create more recreation facilities for the benefit of students at Indiana. Each Friday night it has sponsored a social period in Recreation Hall and has furnished entertainment for those couples desiring to attend. In fostering friendly relations with other colleges throughout the country, the Student Council takes part in the activities of the Pennsylvania Association of College Students and the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers. Each year the council selects delegates from the student body to attend the regular meetings of these organizations. The constitution requires that the council be made up of four representatives of the Senior Class, four from the Junior Class, three from the Sophomore Class, two from the Freshman Class, the President of the Womens Resident Student League, and the President of the Mens Student League. ■ ■ 1935 OAK

PUBLICATIONS THE 1935 OAK JULIAN SHINOL Editor-in-Chief FREDERICK TOMB Business Manager 1935 OAK WE have had two goals in editing this OAK. Since the average person notices only two things about any yearbook — its beauty in general and his own pictures in particular — our aims were to make the OAK as beautiFui and artistic an annual as our finances would permit, and to picture every student at least once, either in a group or individually. LoFty aims! . . . but if we have achieved them we consider our venture successful. Using the best of modern magazines as our models we have tried to build up an annual which may for a short time be the epitome of Indiana yearbooks. We have attempted something new in an art theme, a gutterbled border design and the use of original woodcuts on division pages. With dull-coated paper, soot-black ink and red as the second color we have tried to introduce a distinctly modern note. Even our type has been selected only after a considerat ion of its beauty and distinctiveness. Finally, we have tried to relieve the monotony of past Indiana yearbooks by entirely new arrange- ments of halftones, copy, and page and typographical layouts. In conclusion we wish to thank Bernice Orndorff and Clinton File for advice in editorial and financial problems,- Gregory Ivy and Virginia Crawshaw for assistance in artistic matters; The Student Co-operative Association for partially financing this volume; Carl Douglass, of the Douglass Studio, for photography and the use of equipment; Louis Wise, of the Jahn and Oilier Engraving Company, for his valued assistance; H. B. Weaver, of the Pittsburgh Printing Company, for technical printing advice; Earl Evans, of the Molloy Cover Company; those editors pictured on the opposite page who had a most vital part in the ultimate character of the book, and finally those contributors who are listed.
