C. ofiicers and executive council, headed by able gavel-wielder Ed Richards, vice-president Betty Watson, and secretary Margie Noble. A big first in Oxy history was the beautifully suc- cessful A. S. O. C. dance, which for the first time was held off-campus, at the Altadena Country Club, to the popular strains of Burt Smith and orchestra. Another successful social function was the Homecoming Day dance, held after the annual Pomona football game. A quiet semester Cquoting Richardsh of legislation included an amendment to the constitution awarding traveling jackets to second-year minor sport lettermen, an act providing for a permanent Peace Council on campus and a Peace Week, a recommendation for the discontinuance of the Oxy Tide as a campus publica- tion, and recommendations to the administration and faculty that the frosh build the Pomona bonfire no earlier than seven on the eve of the rally and the sus- pension of classes for freshmen on that Friday. Prexy Richards climaxed his year when he was sent to Provo, Utah, for the Pacific Student Presiclent's conference, where he was elected secretary-treasurer of the organization which includes 110 colleges and uni- versities in the Pacific region and Hawaii.
