J tudent overiunen FACULTY ADVISERS: Dr. C. S. Brown, Dr. Mary Frances Gyles, Prof. R. J. Coltharp and Dr. A. S. Rudolph. The Student Government Association which is the link between the students and the faculty has had its fourth and most successful year. One of the first ac- tivities sponsored by this organization was the dance- given in the Student Center to welcome freshmen. The Frosh rules and regulations were enforced through the organization of the Freshman Court. The Student Government Association directed elec- tions for such honors as Homecoming Queen, Mr. and Miss Memphis State, Typical Ed and Co-Ed and May Queen, and the college entry in the Maid of Cotton contest. The group also sponsored the campaign for blood donations, which resulted in 210 students con- tributing blood. An election commission, composed of 15 elected representatives, was established to direct such work. The Student Government Association joined in sup- porting Greater Memphis State program and brought many new members to its ranks. Every student on the campus has had the oppor- tunity to express his opinion through the Student Gov- ernment Association on topics of major importance to each student — the honor system, the five-day week plan, the registration system and the two-party system. The group is grateful to its faculty advisers who have offered many suggestions which have helped to make the Student Government Association the demo- cratic and efficient organization it is.
