Bill of Rights dropped to 273 for the school year, this level was expected to be maintained for the next two years since veterans must begin their training before July 26. 1951 to be eligible for the college provisions of that law. An additional 36 students were enrolled under Public Law 16. Student Cabinet Continued from page 1 trades, had attended SSS in 1911. He defeated Gordon Thiel of Wah-peton. general mechanics student. 69-15. In addition to Fenske in the presidency roll, cabinet officers .vere Doris Broadland as secretary and Art Busch, treasurer. As a program for the year, the cabinet undertook the development of more on-campus activities for students. Its two major efforts were promotion of Coke dances in the Campus Hub throughout the year and a student carnival, reinstituted for the first time in many years. The student cabinet is responsible for the direction of all student social activities and plays a large part in management of student extra-curricular activities. Among its many duties, the cabinet names the editors for the Dakota Scientist and Agatoasie. Student committics for various activities are appointed by the cabinet, which also takes an active part in the management of many of these affairs. Art Busch, for instance, was responsible for procur-ment of bands for school dances. The activities of the cabinet are governed by a constitution which is frequently revised to take care of existing conditions. John Bubber Drury Wins Campus Card Title At SSS Party Something new was added to the campus activity picture this year as the students voted (by contributions to the March of Dimes) for the Campus Card. To most everyone the outcome was obvious before the balloting even started— long before, John Bubber Drury had established himself as king of this hill.
