MAE ALBRIGHT, ] HELEN WHITE, Vic MIRIAM SHIVELY, -President Secretary The Women ' s Student Government in cooperation with the matron, Miss Wise, controls the conduct in Oakwood Hall. Because of the added capacity of the dormitory a larger number of girls come under the juris- diction of this representative government. Representatives and proctors from each floor make up this organization. Through their efforts Oakwood Hall is made a more desirable home for college girls. The purpose of the Women ' s Government is to foster and maintain the conduct of the students in harmony with the spirit and ideals of Manchester College. Consideration for the feelings of the other person is invaluable in contact with others. Dormitory life affords a splendid opportunity for such training.

The Student Court is the judicial branch of the Associated Student Body. All matters pertaining to the maintenance of good morals and wholesome social conditions among the student body are under the jur- isdiction of the Student Court. The Court consists of seven members representing the most impor- tant organizations on the campus. The cooperation with the Dean of Women, Dean of Men, and the Executive Board has been especially fine this year. The Court has earnestly and sincerely sought to reflect student opinion in regard to offenders sum- moned to appear before it, and to merit the confi- dence and support of the management of the college. While only a minority of the students have had rea- son to feel the pressure of the Court, they have recog- nized the justice and fairness of its verdicts and the impartiality of its decisions. The influence of the Student Court has been distinctly felt upon the campus.

r 7i M PAUL STEELE, President MARK SHELLHASS, Vice-President WALDEN HILTY, Secretary The members of the Men ' s Student Government in controlling the conduct in the Boy ' s Dormitory have assumed their tas:k wholeheartedly and the results are evident. They are sponsoring a constructive as well as governmental program this year. A complete understanding of the prin- ciples of the organization was needed, so a permanent and workable constitution was drawn up. An attempt was made to better conditions materially in the dormitory. As a result of their efforts drinking fountains were placed on each floor of the building. For the first time they have had the leadership of the Dean of Men, Professor Morris. They have not hesitated in asking his advice and he has given of his time unreservedly. The fellows realize in their cooperation with the members of this organization that training in self- government is training for life. Page Twenty-On
