flBui C$t Qui Est, local women's honorary fraternity, was established on the Iowa Wesleyan campus April 6, 1943, by Blue Key, national men's honorary fraternity. These men founded Qui Est for the purpose of promoting the general welfare of the college. Qui Est is not an interfraternity organization. Any woman on the campus is eligible. Members are chosen from those who have proved themselves worthy in some outstanding way during the school year. It is significant that in Qui Est are found the leaders in almost every field of college life. Sponsored by Mrs. L. P. Ristene, Qui Est selects the outstanding freshmen and the members of the Pep Club. panfjcllcmc Panhellenic Council is composed of two members from each sorority to guide the rushces and to settle rushing and other problems arising among the sororities. Each year the council revises the rushing rules. Rosalie Bentzinger of Pi Beta Phi was president this year and Jane Malone of Alpha Xi Delta was sec re ta ry- t reasu re r. Each year Pan-Hellenic council gives an award to the student with the highest grades the pre-ceding year. This year a beautiful bracelet was awarded to Doris Hilleary. Other functions of the council are the fall tea, for the new rushees and the spring tea for the Alumns and sorority members. student Council Student Council meets bi-monthly to discuss campus problems. Today, the group, two representatives from each fraternity, sorority and Independent club, and advisors Dean Moser, Professor Hockett and Professor Hermann, includes sponsorship of the Homecoming and Visitation Day, Mardi Gras, and its administration of Strike Day privilege. This definitely contrasts the desperate attempt the council was making ten years ago, to persuade town and administration that dancing should be permitted on the Wesleyan campus. Ij. i?. Council The House Council, governing body of Hershey Hall, is composed of nine Hall residents and Dean Frances Moser. Officers are elected by popular vote of the girls. Those chosen in the spring are to serve during the next school year. The president must be a member of the incoming junior class, but other officers may be chosen from the three upper classes. This year, at the suggestion of the Council, a successful study room was established in the dining hall and Open House was held regularly in the sun parlor. goutf) J cIlofcocfjip This year has marked the revival of a Youth Fellowship group on Wesleyan's campus. The Fellowship, being interdenominational, is composed of members representing many faiths. The group meets each Sunday evening in the chapel and holds short worship services. This group has been very active, especially in the field of Home Mission work. [51]
