Student — Faculty S.G.A. DANCE MANAGER ARLIN WARD and his assistant, Dick Gorman, stand by at each varsity to drop the money in their little box and stamp the dancers paid. To give Kansas States students an opportu- nity to hear and see famous entertainers and lecturers, the Student Governing Association sponsors a Celebrity Series. Each fall the president of the S.G.A. appoints two student members to serve with two faculty representatives and himself on a committee in charge on the series. They make arrangements for the performances and arouse student inter- est in the visiting notables. Five Numbers Scheduled This year the college played host to the Eva Jessye choir, nationally known Negro chorus . . . Fray and Braggiotti, noted piano duo, played a return engagement on the campus . . . Kurt and Grace Graff brought their ballet to the college auditorium . . . and Tony Sarg and his marionettes performed in the spring . . . John Mullholland, magician, was scheduled for an April program. Each fall, after the activity fees are collected from enrolling students, the S.G.A. president appoints the Apportionment Board, composed of two members from both the faculty and the student body as well as himself. Fee Total Distributed They then apportion the proceeds to various campus activities including the Celebrity Series, Manhattan Theatre, judging teams, debate squads, athletics, and student publications. Don Moss replaced Bill Keogh second semester, as a member of the Apportionment Board. MEMBERS OF THE CELEBRITY Series Committee meet to discuss the year ' s pro- gram.

Students Resent Law Immediately, K-Staters were up in arms and demanded that the law be repealed. The coun- cil was divided and the faculty was opposed to repeal. Finally the issue was put before the student body for vote. Although the majority voted to do away with the rule, college officials claimed that the neces- sary fifty per cent of the students enrolled had not balloted. So Kansas Staters prepared to spend an uneventful winter. However, a spe- cial investigation disclosed that due to decreased enrollment, a bare half had voted, and the law was repealed. To oil the troubled waters they added an amendment that students who attended un- approved dances would be responsible to the Council for their conduct. Even in quiet years the S.G.A. representa- tives have a hand in balloting, for they select members of the election board. The Student Council next year will play an important part in the many requisites involved in building and financing the new Student Union Building. The structure is to be financed and managed by students, the building expenses to be defrayed by student activity fees. BILL HICKMAN, conscientious president of the Student Governing Association, is a senior in industrial journalism. His duties were numerous and complicated. A joint student-faculty corporation will be set up to handle the issuance of bonds. The bond revenue will be used for initial expenses. THE OTHER Student Council members seem more engrossed in their papers. Left to right: Bill Hickman, Gene Fair, Dorothy Axcell, Bill Bixler, Jessie Collins. Page 21

' Rulers THE FACULTY COUNCIL on Student Affairs meets in recreation center. Stand- ing: Dr. A. A. Holtz. Jack Gardner. Seated: Miss Grace Derby (left), Dean Helen Moore, Dean L, £. Conrad, Dr. Harold Howe, Prof. Louis Reitz. Student Council decisions must be approved by the Faculty Council on Student Affairs. A copy of each decision is sent to the faculty group, and if it is not returned within a certain time, an appeal is made. If the two councils cannot agree on a matter, it is discussed and settled at a joint meeting. This fall the group arbitrated the out-of-town dance question, and similar controversial subjects. Jack Gardner, popular cage coach, was ap- pointed to the committee last year, his first year at Kansas State. APPORTIONMENT BOARD members pose on the campus wall. From left to right they are Prof. H.
