I I , Educational Policy Directly concerned with the most essential side of Oberlin life-studies, the nine-student Educational Policy Committee brings student complaints and suggestions on educational practices before a compar- able board composed of six faculty members, headed by Dean Blair Stewart. Meeting in three sections to study the Oberlin educational scene in the fields of the humanities, the physical sciences, and the social sciences, the committee reported this year on the in- dependent studies program, seminars, and a counsel- ling system to aid sophomores in choosing their majors. Women s Board On a trial basis for this year, the Won1en's Board. made up of six students and six faculty members, assumed the legislative and judicial duties of the de- funct Won1en's Senate. First on the Board's agenda was the reorganization of the womenis government, which entailed revising both the constitution and the Women's rulebook. Foremost among the Boardis judicial duties was the enforcement of all college rules, especially those concerning the use of cars and liquor. A referendum of the Women students will de- cide the permanent role of the Womex1's Board. FIRST ROW: Mrs. Marlys Fixx, Frances Craig, Rosemary Parkins, Elizabeth Greensmith.

Honor Court No aiclf, These Words, scribbled hastily on the last page of a bluebook, represent the Honor System which is enforced by the Honor Court and is a basis of Oberlin academic life. Composed of nine students from both college and con, the Honor Court enforces the Honor System and protects students from themselves by removing conditions conducive to cheating. The Court further protects students by requir- ing unanimity of all of its members before a verdict of guilty can be given. FIRST ROW: Barbara Neuberg, Chairman James Mills, Gail Baker. SECOND ROW: Reinhard Graetzer, Anne Bernstein, Hope Griswold, Donald Walker. Missing when picture was taken: Carol Keith, Henry Wing, John Davis. Men's Board Taking on the unpleasant responsibility of enforcing all of the college rules governing the conduct of the men on the Oberlin campus, the Menls Board is the sole male disciplining body in the college. This year the Board, composed of six students appointed by Student Council and six faculty members, spent most of their time making decisions on the car and liquor rules and on the proposed plans for rooming by sections in men's dorms. FIRST ROW: Robert Burnham, Mr. Warren Walker, Thurman Brown, Mr. Lysle Butler, Harold Ashby, Dean Edward Bosworth. SECOND ROW: Dean Blair Stewart, Mr. Paul Steg, Richard Thompson, Richard Hoops.

Student Chapel Committee Chairman Elizabeth Kirker, Allen Chamberlin, Shaila Rubin, Elaine Lee, Robert Mason. Missing when ' t picture was taken: Martha Craig, Norman Craig. In its first active year, the Student Chapel Committee came a long way in its ight to improve the quality of the Thursday Chapels. The Committee was formed last year by a group of enterprising students when the chapel controversy reached a high point. Suggestions for interesting speakers are obtained by sending questionnaires to faculty members and by suggestions submitted to the committee by students. The progress made this year by Student Chairman Liz Kirker and her group is shown by the fact that Norman Cousins and Carl Rowan, two of the year's most popular speakers, were engaged by the Committee. Student-Facult Committee A means for maintaining close communication between the administration, faculty, and students, the Student-Faculty Committee deals with every problem arising in both college and conservatory. Three groups are represented, as the Committee includes faculty members from many departments, the Deans, five Student Council members, and five other students. Although the Committee cannot make decisions, its recommendations are studied by the administration. On the agenda this year were student-faculty relationships, the car-liquor rules, college morale, and the proposed change in menis rooming.
