Greta Polemic The student court of justice was organized three years ago by the student council in an effort to regulate freshman conduct in observance of rules and traditions: the wearing of caps and arm bands and the behavior on the campus. Membership of this organization is composed of one judge and four jurymen, chosen by the council. The group met once every two weeks, if any complaints were turned in. Complaints against freshmen signed by a witness were handed to the judge by any upper classmen except sophomores. Because the sophomores had just stepped out of the jurisdiction of the court, and because they are not yet wise in the ways of justice when freshmen are concerned, two of them must sign a complaint to make it legal. After the judge receives a complaint, the offender is called before the next session of court to plead his case. Guilt or innocence is decided by the court according to the evidence presented. The penalty is levied by the judge and inflicted by students chosen by him for each case. Freshmen, under the supervision of the court, obeyed the rules and tra- ditions this year with seemingly better grace than they have during previous years. Respect for the court has also been shown by upper classmen and mem- bers of the faculty as well as the under-dogs. -14

Richard Wilson Vice-President Estella Loseke Secretary-Treasurer Ellen Scrvinc Sjxmsors Dr. W. F. Zimmerman, Miss Alma Karstad The student council, made up of representatives from each class, is the outstanding campus organization in that it directs student government. Its membership includes the president and a representative from each of the four classes, two from the Business school and one faculty member. The purpose of this organization is: to act as an intermediary between the faculty and students; to take measures toward the elevation of the moral standards among students, and to act as board of arbitration for the various organizations on the campus. As in former years, the student council sponsored the all-college affairs: the All-College mixer in the fall, the Hallowe'en party, the Christmas party, the Junior carnival, the Championship frolic closing the fourth victorious basketball season and the All-College spring picnic. The group has been successful this year in distributing the chest funds among the various organizations and in meeting the campus problems that are presented. It had the credit system explained to the lower classmen during chapel by Registrar G. E. Hickman. It also sponsored the debate tournament and a competitive contest for new athletic yells and songs.

This board consists of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and a representative from each class. Self- governing rules are drawn up and maintained by the group. New girls at Beegle hall are welcomed at a party soon after school be- gins. The “Big Sister movement has helped many a freshman to feel more at home and become better acquainted with rules and traditions on the campus. Beegle hall initiation this year resulted in purchasing the college store’s supply of sardines. “Bceglites annually hold an open house at which time other students and outsiders have an opportunity to see how a Midland co-ed lives. After a tour of inspection, a short program is given and refreshments arc served. THE WARRIOR Page .j
