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.

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. Women's Recreational Association The Womens Recreational Association open- ed its membership this year to all girls who participated in any W.R.A. sports during the year. The activities included archery, tennis, badminton, ping pong, basketball, volleyball, softball, and hiking. Awards were eliminated by the point sys- tem, with the' exception of three juniors and sen- ior girls who received miniature Kms on the basis of skill, number of activities participated in, and general attitude. A revision of the cons- titution was also enacted with these changes. The W.R.A. banquet held in April welcomed the new members. Sports nights, sponsored by the W.R.A., were held on Friday evenings in Tredway Gymna- sium. Every student was welcome to parti- cipate in activities such as badminton, basket- ball, box hockey, ping pong, and volleyball. Seated: Elaine Dryer, Yvonne Lindsay, Barbara Schreiber, loan Klein. Standing: lean Collinson, Marguerite Lamb. ECONOMICS CLUB The Economics Club, functioning the second semester after a short leave from the campus, is now an active organization. Under the lead- ership of Dr. lulius Wendzel, the future busi- nessmen have begun to study current econo- mic problems with an eye to the future. A place- ment service, previously lacking in this field, has been worked on and results are now be- coming evident. Composed entirely of men major- ing in economics, the club feels it is one of the most qualified groups on the campus. Today's campus economists are tomorrow's leaders.

THE BOILING POT The statt of the 1949 Boiling Pot have attempted to present a few new ideas in this year's annual. The two most notable changes are the expanded faculty section and the new advertising arrangement us- ing a map ot Kalamazoo. With the deter- mination to make this the best issue of the Boiling Pot ever published, the statt began planning early last autumn and has worked diligently to carry through their ideas. The editor, Marion Poller, was ably assisted by Margaret Seibert, who will be the editor ot the 1950 Boiling Pot. Richard Meyerson very ettectively managed the finances and succeeded in putting through this new advertising plan. Ed Hertz suc- cessfully handled the Variety Show which was given in March. Most 'ot the photography work was done by Marvin Mantin and his assistants. Ioseph Pizzat produced the art work that appears in this book and also assisted Wesley Schultz in designing the layout. Esther Bisbee capably handled the position ot copy editor. Miss Virginia Earl was the Faculty Adviser. .x , mg 7' l flil 6' T i .... . 1,0 5 . ., gi iff' . tile-15 1' X If ,4A tmmml
