' 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.

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.

S. G. A. Sponsors Varied Varsities One of S.G.A. ' s projects is the promotion of varsities — dances at low cost to allow all stu- dents to participate. Although Matt Betton ' s is the usual music, the dance manager, Arlin Ward, this year planned a guest artist series, bringing new musical talent to the campus. Biggest name of the year was Herbie Kay who brought his band here in the fall for a well-attended varsity in the gymnasium. Other guests included Kansas bands and soloists. Dance Books Sold Another innovation this spring was the S.G.A. varsity dance book. Second semester dance tickets were put in one book to be sold at a reduced price. Four dances were offered for $2.25, the last one being the Draftee Var- sity, April 4. Because of the controversy over the dance- rule decision disallowing students to attend out- of-town dances not sanctioned by the College, more emphasis than ever was put on S.G.A. sponsored varsities. Offer Varied Music Manager Ward, cooperating with the Coun- cil, promoted more and varied dances for the K-State swing-minded students, so that the necessity of their leaving town for excellent dance entertainment was disproved. Matt Betton and his orchestra, favorites at K-State, threw a scare into the Wildcat social camp when they were offered a contract to play in New York. However, Betton refused, much to the satisfaction of students who desire to keep him here at school. .....
