Student Senate The Student Senate is the student governing body of the college. Its chief purpose is to pro- mote and regulate general campus activities. The Senate is composed of a president and vice-presi- dent elected by the student body, and four representatives from the upper classes. The Freshman class contributes two Senators. For the school year of 1950-51, the students elected Max Kinney president, and Walt Stan- ton vice-president. The new officers and repre- sentatives were sworn into office in April, 1950. The Senate elected for its secretary, Jo Magnuson, treasurer, Herbert Awe, and parlia- mentarian, Wilbur Pollard. The first function of the Senate in this school year was to assist the College Counselor in freshmen scuttle butt sessions. In these ses- sions, the freshmen were introduced to our college traditions. During the Fall Quarter, the Senate sponsored Walkout Day under the leadership of the Senior senators, Wilbur Pollard and John Pope, assisted by the M-Club. Also during the Fall Quarter, members were appointed to Social, Co- Rec, Student Assembly, and Student Affairs Committees. One of the outstanding achievements of the Senate was its handling of the concession stand at the Homecoming football game. With the assistance of freshmen volunteers the senators were able to net a majority of their required earnings for the year. In the winter Quarter, the Senate sponsored the World Student Service Fund drive on the campus. The money contributed to this cause is used to aid foreign students in obtaining an education. The Senate was responsible for the rejuven- ating of the Student Union committee. Through the efforts of this committee and the Senate, movies, games, cards, and dancing were made available to the students over the weekends in the Bearcat Den. Top Row: Max Kinney.
