It was formed in the spring of 1930, after the need for such an organization had long been felt. Efforts made in the past to organize a governing council for the fraternities had failed, and much opposition was met when the new attempt was made. However, after a great deal of dis' cussion a set of rules and regulations was drawn up and presented to the various fraternif ties. When these rules were accepted the Interfraternity Council was born. The membership of the Council is composed of two representatives from each fra' ternity on the campus. In addition to these twelve members there is also a faculty repref sentative who serves as chairman at all meetings and gives advice, but does not vote. The Council controls in a general way the activities of the various fraternities. It is concerned largely with the rushing of new men at the beginning of each semester. Dates are set by the Council before which rushing may not be done. The active rushfweek and pledging which takes place at the end ofthe week are also taken care of by the Council. Dr. A. D. Becker has served in the capacity of Faculty Chairman and Adviser to the Council since its beginning. Much credit is due Dr. Becker for his help and advice in overcoming the many problems that arise.

Nevertheless we still had the pockets, which was something, and a yen for the Promising Unknown, which was something more. And one ine, sunny September day saw 144 of us rattle through Kirks' ville's dusty Arc de Triomphe and lay in supplies for a fourfyear sojourn at the Osteopathic Mecca. The other two of our group, incidentally, came later on-they were making the trip in one of the Smithsonian Institute's castfoff relics of the Ford Age and thus were a bit tardy. Well, we couldn't blame them. We only wondered how they arrived at all. At any rate it wasn't long before we were all assembled and pondering the vagaries of Cunningham and Arey, and scratching our heads over Gray. Yes, and we're still doing just that! But the intellectual haze is lifting bit by bit under the guidance of a fine faculty, and we're beginning to see a glimmer of hope on the distant horizon. There's plenty of work yet to be done, but plenty of interest to make it taste sweet. And that makes a diff ference. The Sophomores having formally introduced us with a reception and dance soon after our arrival, we responded with another at the gymnasium shortly afterward. The turnfout was as good as the turnfin was late, judging by the number of somnolent countenances in the dawn class Cin the wee small hour of S a. mj the next day. In other words, everybody made hay while the moon shone, and nobody thought of tomorrow until it came. New interests, warm friendships, fascinating work-all have combined to make this a great year for us all. We look back on it, a little sorry to see it go, but completely happy in the prospect of a future laden with opportunities even greater, and work ever more ab' sorbing as we progress one step further toward our osteopathic goal.
