Stevens SAGE COUNCIL When the Russell Sage Council president calls a house meeting, the usual Rec room mob has to be moved sans cigarettes and blue smoke to the more dignified parlor for a session alternately agreeable and dis- agreeable according to the matter up for discussion. The Council members attempt solution of these problems such asg what are we going to do about girls who insist on smoking in their room? Why can't everyone sit at the faculty table when We have formal dinners? Do we have to dress formally? How can quiet hours be enforced unless people throw out their radios and records? What are we going to do about that raucous, nerve-shattering alarm that jerks everyone out of bed screaming-Fire? Can't we have a gentler, more melodious tone bell? CBy the way, they are working on that this yearll And finally that vvel- come and most interesting problem of what date to set for the Sage Formal, and whose favorite band to have if the treasurer can catch enough people who live in Sage to pay their house dues.

Savidis ORMSBY-PEABODY COUNCILLORS To have to miss dear old Sage seems to be no hardship to the Junior and Senior women who are chosen to be councillors, because, this honor, which is bestowed upon them, is incentive enough for dwell- ing under the spacious roof of Ormsby or, perhaps, to live in the rambling Peabody House. Life in either of these two Freshman dormitories is exciting and exasperaring all at the same time. To console a group of Freshmen girls who have just reached that formidable age of trying their wings for the first time without the aid of former overseers, is no slight duty. But it is in- teresting to say the least. Despite the fact that quiet hours is their password, eleven o'clock's their privi- lege, and consoling their duty, the junior and senior councillors are well-thought of by the Freshman girls who come to them with all their little problems and big joys. Never do the graduates forget the upper- class girls who helped them through their Freshman year and started them on the road to success in college. Page 15

Orwig BROKAW CGUNCIL Presicled over by Muscle-man Ade Dillon, Resident Supervisor, the Brokaw Hall Council, in its bi-weekly meetings attempts to maintain law and order in the dorm. This group, a formidable baud, de- crees Hnes and penalties for any delinquen- cy. Their powers are both administrative and judicial, for they formulate rules and regulations governing the hall, as well as hear cases brought before it. This, the ,hrst full year of the group's organization, has been especially active. They have pondered such momentous ques- tions as: smoking, quiet hours, bubblers, and even how loud a radio should be played. The council, elected by dorm residents and consisting of three freshmen residents, one non-freshman resident, and two coun- cillors, aid the hall supervisor in adminis- trating the affairs of the hall. Special meet- ings may be called by any two of the six members or by the chairman. The Brokaw council, part of the Brokaw Men's association, attempts to maintain an atmosphere in the dorm compatible to the interests of the college. Page 17
