Following an often precedent-breaking, frequently progressive, unusually prudent policy, the Student Government has had a most successful year in performing well its varied duties while operating within a limited budget. Payment of a con- siderable portion of back debt, issuance of a most representative Tomahawk, felicitous perpetuation of student body spirit and morale are but characteristic actions. A definite advance towards objectives has been made by the three main Student Government Councils. The Executive Council has conducted student body elections and has held several meetings during the session in execution of its supervisory capacity. The Honor Council has furnished outstanding work in under- taking a most delicate task in the formation of a working Honor System. Mainte- nance, improvement of athletic relations, recommendation of lettermen, efficient guidance of all phases of Mississippi College athletics have featured the work of the Athletic Council this year.

PUBLICATIONS The Mississippi College Publications Association was organized in the spring of the year 1940 with the somewhat ideal- istic purpose of bringing more closely to- gether and of more solidly unifying the three student body publications — the Tribesman, the Collegian, and the Arrow- head — under a one harmoniously working governing body. Impelled by the keen knowledge of the destructive effects upon the continual development and better- ment of the publications of the lack of a compulsory publications fee and of dis- cord between staffs, the outgoing and the incoming editors and business managers gave formulation to a socialistic, sup- posedly cooperative agreement between the publications. ASSOCIATION As adopted, this agreement provided that membership in the Association should consist of the respective editors and business managers and of a publica- tions photographer. A definite under- standing was reached concerning the uni- fication of the separate subscriptions fees and of the pro rata division of a new total fee. Plans were projected for a coordination of subscription efforts, col- lections, and bookkeeping. Maintenance of a central photographic darkroom for all three publications was provided for. This agreement between publications ap- pertained definitely to financial policy only. The workability of these basic pro- visions has been proved in this the first year of the existence of the Publications Association. That, however, the plan is still in an embryonic stage may be seen in that eleven out of sixteen provisions have become inoperative. The attempt to maintain a combined publications dark- room must be considered a failure. Co- operation and harmony between staffs — although as great as that of other years — has been but nominal. A definite forward stride has been taken, however, for even partial operation of this plan has made possible greater reader coverage, facili- tated quicker and more efficient collec- tions, and shown the way for what should be a complete and successful operation of this or some similar plan for the next year.
