MARRIED VETERANS CLUB The main function of the Married Veteran's organization is to promote social activity among married students attending Kalamazoo College. During the school year the club holds several parties, record dances, and picnics. Another purpose for which the club was or- ganized is to discuss whatever problems the members may have concerning the hutment ar- eas. Meetings are held once a month, and each member has an opportunity to join in a discus- sion of any problems that affects the married veterans. If the difficulties are serious enough, committees are formed to solve them. Seated: Mrs. Ted Engdahl, Mrs. Wayne Stone. Standing: Franklyn Ware, William Sayers, Ted Engdahl, Robert Prudon.

Tl-IE INDEX The Index this year has been freed from faculty and administrative control. This has meant new opportunities for the editors to express their views, but also a new sense of responsibility to present both sides of every question. On the other hand, the staff has dwindled to a fraction of its size in pre- ceding years, which has put more of the burden of publishing the Index on the shoulders of the editors. For fun and experience the editors have put out everything from a tabloid style to ultra-conservative news writing. Features have ranged from comic car- toons to serious discussions of world is- sues. Thanks to a new photography and engraving policy, the Index has been able to print more pictures than last year. By recommendation of the Administrative Committee, the Index was granted the in- crease in subsidy of twenty-five cents per student per semester. The Index has tried to encourage student thinking through its columns of thought and opinion. Editorially it has at- tempted to foster just causes in so far as it was possible. Warren David was editor and Don Kiel business manager for the year.
