Each school elects, according to its constitution, rep resentatives to the Student Association who are vested with the powers to vote on a ll 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, promote closer relations be- tween faculty and students, and to build a greater Mississippi State College. This Association is governed by the Executive Committee composed of the President, Vice-Presi- dent, Secretary, and Treasurer. These men are elected annually by the student body. The Vice-President is also charged as Chairman of the Dance and Entertainment Committee. 28

Chief Potentates All Loaf and no work. The Casual Tyrant THE 1955 The Ogar and the orphans. The ' 55 REVEILLE was characterized by a marked air of casualness. And by the middle of the year everybody had begun to casually wonder whether or not there was going to be an annual in ' 55. Setting the pace was editor-in-chief Marion Slufoot Slaton whose attitude can best be described as one of royal unconcern. About one-fourth of the student body showed they didn ' t care either by not quite bothering to show up for picture taking. With the strong feeling of disinterest so general, the whole staff had soon begun to disdain such pesky things as deadlines, final deadlines, and absolutely final deadlines. A typical staff meeting finds the gang casually listening to Dixieland Jazz from the record player and wondering where Slue is. The assistant editor hazards a guess that Slue is out juking. No, the managing editor cuts in, he ' s probably indulging in his favorite pastime of sacking out. Just about this time the editor finally arrives with the pretty feature editor and explains that the two have just had a lengthy discussion on whether or not the ' 55 REVEILLE should have a cover and related matters. First subject on the agenda is the order of the an- nual ' s various sections. The Military editor suggests putting the ROTC pages first. He has delusions of gold bars. The Administration editor thinks his section should come first. He wants to casually graduate. Tempers flare and the discussion becomes more and more heated until the meeting is adjourned with the following decisions having been made: the cover will not be chartreuse or helio and the annual will not be dedicated to the 1955 Sugar Bowl score. Slaves of the Tyrant. V
