The committee iscomposed of eleven members headed by chairman Dean Lawrence W. Lange, who with Dean Irma Voigt end a representative group of faculty members and students, meet weekly to discuss and decide on all matters of importance to the Uni- versity and the student body. Among these are the administration of the Student Grill and student publications and the distribution of the Activities, Lectures, and Entertoinment Fund which, due to the war emergency and the consequent drop in enrollment, was the committee ' s chief problem. This year nearly all such C. A. C. decisions and actions were thus choracterized by the imminence of the national war program, and campus policy and progrom were fostered on a war time basis. The Committee ' s student membership consists of the president of the Men ' s Union, the president of the Women ' s League, one elected member from each of these organizations, and a fifth student chosen by the Student Council after consideration of applications for the position 17

In the picture at the left the Student Council, with its advisors, is shown dis- cussing the proposed Student War Chest Plon. This was typical of Stu- dent Council meetings this year as the university ' s part in the war effort dominoted all other business. En- trusted by the Campus Affairs Com- mittee, to which if is responsible, with the power of determining which wor relief sholl be given donations and the amounts to be donated, the Council consists of the officers of the Men ' s Union and the Women ' s League. Pri- marily, the Council ' s purpose is three- fold: to foster the spirit of coopera- tion between the Men ' s Union and the Women ' s League; to promote the in- terests and welfare of every Ohio University student; and to advance the role of Ohio University in inter- collegiate circles.
