THE STUDENT The Student Association of Mississippi State College is the executive governing body of the students. Each school elects, according to its constitution, representatives to the Stu- dent Association who are vested with the powers to vote on all problems in the interest of their respective schools. Other members of the Association are the staff heads of the Reflector and REVEILLE. The three-fold purpose of the Association is to bind all students in a stronger union and develop a keener sense of school spirit, pro- mote closer relations between faculty and students, and to build a greater Mississippi State College. This association is governed by the Execu- tive Committee composed of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. These men are elected annually by the stu- dent body. The Vice-President is also charged as Chairman of the Dance and Entertainment C ommittee.

Some wonder not only how, but why. However, we shall discard the uninitiated from the realm of surrealistic nonsense, and peek through the transom at the brain-work that is putting the baby to bed. The editors are gathered around a Ouija Board. The managing editor walks in and everyone starts laughing. He swells with pride, thinking he said something funny un- til he remembers he hasn ' t opened his mouth. At this point, the business manager walks in with dollar bills sticking out of all his pockets. He is followed by the advertising manager who has five dollar bills sticking out of all his pockets. After all, Ben is a P-5 5 student. The rest of the business staff is late. They can ' t find any place to park their Cadillacs. The boss, Simon Legree Spruill, cracks his whip over the heads of the editorial staff to break up the crap game and the meeting is underway. The snapshots are being put on copy sheets. Someone breaks the bottle of Best- test rubber cement (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.; guaranteed not to wrinkle, curl, or shrink). The snapshot editors go to the grill to have a big orange. After a while, someone thinks of an idea for the division pages. It stinks! They throw it out. They ' re getting nowhere, fast. Soon, a staff member leaves. He should have done this a long time ago. The others continue beating their heads against the wall. They ' re hanging a M.M. calendar and have lost the hammer. The Class Editors
