row ichs. and Albert Ro Меи One of the most important committees set up to fa- cilitate the job of the senate in organizing campus activi- ty was the one headed by Charles V. O'Brien and. james J. Freiburger. This committee had as its specific purpose the working out of a calendar of campus events to elimi- nate conflicts in meeting dates and proposed activities. The committee did an outstanding job setting up a calendar to accomplish this purpose. The Senior Delegate of the National Federation of Catholic College Students, Dennis Hayes, took part in the activities of this group. The position of the Federa- tion on the Loras campus was re-evaluated and it was determined that its primary purpose was to make avail- able to the campus clubs material of interest available through its national organization from other college campuses in the country. A further purpose of the com- mittee was to provide a direct channel for this infor- mation to the campus club seeking it or in need of it. Perhaps the most ambitious effort of the student government at Loras thus far was its sponsorship of a mock Democratic Convention on the Loras Campus. The Student Senate transformed itself into the Democratic National Committee and issued a call for the convention to be held in the fieldhouse on April 25th and 26th. Students from Loras, Clarke, and Merey served as delc- gates to the convention made it as realistic as possible to serve as a practical experience in our democratic gov- ernmental processes. While this effort claimed much of the senate’s time, the Social Committee under Roman W. Gales and the Decorating Committee under Harry J. Smith were occu- pied in planning for the Spring Prom presented in con- junction with the senior class. The Freshmen and Sophomore Senate members.
