HE student managers act as business supervisers in their separate fields to carry forth the efficient management of student affairs. The managers of Men's Athletics, Women's Athletics, Band and Orchestra, Forensic, Glee Clubs, and Dra- matics are elected by their respective departments each fall. The Dramatics and Ly- ceum departments were combined into one Entertainment department, each one having its own manager, The managers of Oak Leaves and of the Review are elected upon confirmation of the student body, by a vote of confidence after having filled the office of assistant manager for those departments. By having managers chosen by the de- partments which they represent, the responsibility is distributed to the place where the interest is greatest. Each manager keeps the books and cares for the properties of his department, He is held directly responsible to the General Manager who also keeps a detailed record of each departments transactions. In addition to supervising the managers of the separate departments, the Gen- eral Manager, with the Treasurer, acts as an advisory member of the Executive Council. A constitutional change, inaugurated this year, provides for the nomination and election of the managers of. the Review and Oak Leaves by a new method. The Review and Oak Leaves departments were combined into one Board of Publications. The assistant managers of each department will receive credit hours for their work. Upon the recommendation of the Board of Publications and the approval of the Executive Council, the Assistant Managers of Review and Oak Leaves will be recom- mended to the student body for election. lf he has agreeably performed his duties as assistant manager, he will be recommended the following year by the Board of Pub- lications and approved for a vote of confidence. The ideal of this plan has been to make the student government one that really functions efficiently. 28

The Executive Council consists of five student body executives: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and General Manager: and of two members from each class, the President and an elected representative. In general, the Executive Council has acted in the capacity of student advisory council, considered petitions of groups and individuals for privileges involving th: Student Body, determined Student Body policies, and met with the President of the College at various times for the purpose of reconciling student and administrative policies.

All class dues, the Associated Women Students, and the girls' and boys' intra-mural activities will now receive a portion of the Associated Student funds. This increase in the Student Body fee will enable the Oak Leaves staff to publish a great year-book at a lower cost to the students. 27

Since that time the organization has accomplished much towards these ends as well as aiding the campus by their projects. During the summer upper class women corresponded with prospective students followed by personal contacts in the fall. Soon after registration a Big and Little Sister Tea climaxed the actvities. ln November, 1936, the Co-ed Ball, an annual affair, was held in Failing Hall. On May 8. l937. the girls entertained their mothers at the annual Mothers' Day Tea. ln the past a need has been felt for a formal gathering of the group and this year it was realized when l6O women attended a formal banquet at the college com- mons, Nellie Johnson had charge of the banquet. Another new project of the yea: involved the publication of a Courtesy Book. This book, edited by Ruth Steen bergen. is to serve as Emily Post of this campus. On its program of doing more for the Alma Mater the organization sponsored its second annual carnival in October, 1936. which proved highly successful socially as well as financially. In March, 1937. a spring fashion show under the direction of Ruth Breeding proved highly successful.
