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.

This group has for its objectives: to furnish a forum for the discussion of all matters of inter- est to the sororities on the campus; to establish standards of excellence along every line of en- deavor — as an organization, as a factor in school, as a force in the lives of graduating members; to define a code of sorority ethics; and to serve as a court of final appeal in case of local Panhellenic difficulties. The council sponsors the Panhellenic tea each year honoring all college women interested in social sororities. This is the opening of official rush week. Intra-Fraternity Council The Intra-Fraternity Council is a fraternal body, made up of the presidents of Phi Sigma Epsilon and Sigma Tau Gamma, and three mem- bers chosen at large. The Council ' s work is intended to make co- operation between the two fraternities more real and to offer a place where cooperative ventures may be discussed. Also, it has been able to suggest ways and means of better service to the fraternities. All have confidence in the representatives sent to make up the personnel of the Council and work progresses smoothly. Fraternities can only render significant service to the college and their own members under the direction of a coordinating body and this Council strives to aid the organizations in that effort. Social Committee Registration dances, freshman mixers, and after-game dances were only a few of the activi- ties planned by the Student Social Committee. The most entertaining dance of the year was the annual Sadie Hawkins ' dance, inspired by the famous Al Capp characters. The boys were kings for a week previous to the evening of dancing Dogpatch style. The gala event of the year was the Christmas Ball, presented each year on the last Saturday night before vacation. The dance was outstand- ing because of its gaiety, holiday spirit, and color. Also, the committee co-operated with the Tower staff to make the Tower dance one of the high- lights of the year. Music was provided mainly by the orchestras of Bryce Pulley and Jack Moore. Page 26
