EXECUTIVE CCDMMITTEE Page Q0 F' R : B , B ' t, Olsen, Puth, l-lerold SgEbndVlSovvTrT2Slly, BeerlTiTlllBadford, Gage, Murphy Third Row: Barton, l-lesselman, Damman, Wilch, Bleick, Forbush, Schumann Lavvrence's student government is made up ol the student body president and the executive committee which represents various organizations on campus. Each sorority, fraternity and independent group elects one ol their members to this committee. They attend meetings, discuss current college problems, go to their respective groups to get their viewpoints and return to vote on any and all issues. ln this way all students are lcept in close contact with their government and the measures tal4en by the governing body are representative ol the majority. This year a new problem arose because ol the V-TQ unit here at l.avvrence. The popular feeling was that they should have an equal representation on the executive committee as they vvere to tal4e an active part in all the activities of the college. Many sailors are members ol fraternities not on the campus and many are not atliliated. To give them a voice in their government, it was decided that they should elect three men to the executive committee. Some ol the duties ol the committee include the election of a vice-president, secretary and treasurer from its immediate group and ol chairmen ol the social, pep, rules, homecoming, union and convocation committees from the entire student body. It malces nominations lor the all-college judicial board and evolves the yearly budget. lts legislative duties lceep the committee an active one throughout the year.

LWA. Mitchell, Burke, O'Connor, Ross, Clarlce, Goode, Cieraldson, Watson Whether little Sammy Sailor wants a date to the next all-college dance or little Connie Coed wants another town permission or you canit hear yourself talle in Sage dining-room during second lunch, L. W. A. is sure to get its finger in thepie. For when an organization is composed of 300 curious and eager coeds, it can't help having at least one finger in every college pie. This year the presence of the navy and the consequent changes in schedule have resulted in a reorganized L. W. A. program. Gut with feminine morale building and in with entertainment for land-loclced sailors. Une of the best ways for bringing together civilian men and women and sailors and faculty was the traditional L.. W. A. open house held every month at Sage. L. W. A. sponsors the annual l-lag-Drag, and the Best-loved Banquet when the four best-loved senior girls are revealed. Every year until now a senior girl has been chosen queen of the May, but this year she will reign midst cold and ice as the Snow- queen. 'lhe Lawrence Womenis Association comprises two groups: the L. W. A. council is the executive and legislative power and the Judicial Board is the judicial branch. The members of the council are the elected officers and the representatives from W. A. A., Pan-l'lellenic Council, and freshmen women. The three faculty members who serve on the council are the Dean of Women, a woman appointed by the presi- dent of the college and one elected by the council members. This year L. W. A. is doing its best to malce Lawrence an active part of the war effort and yet l4eep college life at a satisfactory norm.
