E. Wright, Howell, Schlernitzauer, MacCurdy, Decoteau and T. Wright of the Council are caught in a discussion in the field house. The term Student Government, as used on Normal campus, means much the same as at other institutions. The Student Body Associa- tion, organized fifteen years ago, was formed to permit the students to regulate al! matters per- taining to the student life of its members that do not interfere with policies enforced by the Administration. Each year ' s Association has as its governing body the Student Council, which acts as the executive of the Association and has under its supervision the other student organizations. The Council is composed of fourteen students, eleven of whom are elected by the students, with three memberships coming from the three religious organizations on the campus. Headed by the vice-president of the student body, the Council is made up of the president and secretary of the student body, three rep- resentatives-at-large from the body, the heads of the Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes, the editors of the two college publications, and the representatives from the Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A. and the Newman Club.

THIS PAGE IS INSERTED HERE IN RECOGNITION OF THOSE NORMAL STUDENTS WHO ARE NOW, OR SOON WILL BE, IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES The Boss marks out a cross-country course for two ' 42 students . . . Instructors Ev cerning level fight . . . Sun-tanning while waiting for their turn in the air tin Organization of numerous courses connected with Civilian Defense and the national war effort has just begun on the Normal campus. One course, however, has been offered for two years and, to show the degree to which the college has entered the world conflict, we have selected this course for explanation. Not including the seventh class of the Aviation course (now in session), one hundred and fifty students have completed primary training at the Municipal Airport of t • 1 u r ♦ • . • the city of Natchitoches, and, of the number that have completed the semester-long course, seventy percent have volunteered for the air forces of the nation. Of that seventy percent, nine out of ten are now active in the Air Corps of the armed forces. The percentage that has been set by this one course should be a goal for other units in their work on the campus. [20]
