This group is the activating legis- lative and iudicial body of the entire open house organ- ization. Continually acting in this capacity, the lnter- house Council has pursued a policy designed primarily to effect a closer unification and greater consolidation of the different open houses, both those on north campus and those located off the campus. Working in coniunc- tion with the lnterfraternity Council and the Independent Council, the lnterhouse Council has made many attempts to further the cause of democratic equality among the men students at Northwestern. The social season for the open houses began with a dinner-dance at Goodrich Commons. This affair was followed by the Wildcat Capers, which was held as an all-university informal dance after the beginning game of the football season with Oklahoma. Also the houses presented a program of smokers, at which various prom- inent members of the faculty led discussions in the dif- ferent houses throughout the year. Climax of the social season was the spring formal. Dick Baldwin and Reed Hoar acted as co-chairmen of this event. During this year the council has made every effort to extend its functions beyond that of former years. lt now presents a complete, progressive program for the open house man. 17
