Women ' s Interhall Council Women ' s Interhall Council provides a forum for discussion of mutual concerns relating to residence halls. Organized to provide coordina- tion among the women ' s residence halls, WIC cooperates with Men ' s Interhall Council and other campus organizations to bring educa- tional and governmental programs of high quality into the halls. The president and vice president of each hall meet weekly with officers and committee chairmen of WIC to exchange ideas and to discuss problems arising in the halls. The council assumes responsi- bility for all legislation pertaining to hall government. Men ' s and Women ' s Interhall councils jointly belong to the Na- tional Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) and to the North Atlantic Association of College and University Residence Halls (NAACURH). NACURH is an organiza- tion of national colleges and universities acting as a coordinating body for the exchange of ideas, information, and intercollegiate programs. NAACURH does this on a regional level. Kent State University is a vital force on both levels. In September, 1966, Kent will host the annual NAACURH convention. Presently the Kent chapter is editing the National Newsletter, chief NACURH publication, which provides pertinent residence hall information con- cerning activities of interest to other schools.

Men ' s Interhall Council At the head of six men ' s residence halls, thirty men ' s residence hall officers, and 2,181 men residents is the Men ' s Interhall Council. The council embroils itself in plotting and planning for such social activities as Residence Hall Week, the Queen of Queen ' s dance, and the annual Christmas party. Last year MIC became a member of the Na- tional Association of College and University Residence Halls. Six delegates attended the regional conference at the University of Rhode Island and exchanged ideas concern- ing residence hall programs with NACURH members from other Northeastern schools. The delegates were instrumental in having Kent State named as the site for this year ' s re- gional conference.

The constitution and by-laws were written and later revised to better delineate the branches of AWS and further clarify the workings of women ' s government. Rules and standards were updated. At the same time junior and senior women gained the freedom and responsibility of unlimited late permissions and Engleman was designated as an experimental honors hall. Activities Board again sponsored Lil Sis and Mother ' s weekends and co-sponsored another successful Pork Barrel. Penny night was initiated to provide funds for a scholarship. The traditional spring Senior Women ' s Banquet honored outstanding seniors. Nearly two years of planning was culminated at the Regional Convention of the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students as women leaders from the Eastern region of IAWS convened at Kent during the spring quarter break. Throughout the year, it was again emphasized that every woman in the university is a member of AWS and is encouraged to participate in all of its programs.
