Student TUDENT GOVERNMENT Men ' s Senate President Gordon Davies Secretary-Treasurer Vice-President . . Adolph Capka . . Robert Tschop The Men ' s Senate is a governing body vested with legislative, executive, and judicial powers. The organization is composed of six Seniors, five Juniors, three Sophomores, and one non-voting Freshman who are elected to their positions from a list of nominees selected by the faculty. From the Senior representatives the mem- bers elect the president of the Senate. This year our Senate was headed by Gordon Davies, who carried out his duties very com- petently and conscientiously. This governing body formulates, with faculty approval, rules which are necessarv for good conduct among the male students of the College. In addition, it is the duty of the Senate to pass judg- ment on any infraction of the rules, to punish wrongdoers, and to make suggestions for improvement of campus and dormitory life. In cooperation with the W. S. G. A., the Senate each year super- vises the Football Holiday Dances, which have become quite popular on the campus. Since the success of a student-governing organization depends entirely upon the cooperation of all the students, every male student contributes to make our governing body worthwhile and successful. i 20

government Women ' s Student Government Association President . . . Hazel Heminway Vice-President . Wanda Price Secretary Treasurer Helen Bartlett Agnes Morris Officially W. S. G. A. stands for Women ' s Student Government Association. The more popular name by which we know it is the Jigger Board — not a very dignified title, but shorter at any rate than the other. The duties of this Board are to make and enforce rules for the proper conduct of the coeds on the campus. It is composed of dormitory girls -with a day-student representative. They are first nominated by the Board, approved by the faculty, and then elected by the girl students. The Board elects for each of the girls ' dorms a hall-president, who is particularly responsible for dormitory conditions. Hazel Heminway, this year ' s president, has very capably and efficiently carried out her duties, and has still retained the friend- ship of the culprits. Authority to grant various permissions that are within its juris- diction also rests with the Board. If any of the Board ' s rules are broken, the Board meets to discuss the case and fixes a penalty, usually a man campus, campus campus, or in more rare cases a roomus roomus. To the uninitiated these terms may be unintel- ligible, but to the guilty offenders they are only too well known. The Board is, however, not only a Board of punishments, usually for the Freshmen, but in conjunction with its brother organization, the Men ' s Senate, it plans the Christmas festivities, Home Coming Day, and May Day. 21 y
