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.

CO Ohio University ' s Women ' s League is a representotive student body, com- prised of two student organizations, the senate and the assembly, which, act- ing independently, endeavor to present a clear cut program of the various phoses of campus life to women students. The Senate, the League ' s adminis- trative body, determines financial and social policies. Its presiding officer is the president of the League and its members are representatives of each of the four campus housing units: dormitories, sorority houses, organized houses, and neighborhood units. The dean of women acts as the Senate ' s advisor. In this manner women students hove the opportunity to express their views under o democratic, workable system. Annually the Senate sponsors traditional social affairs on the Ohio campus. Of these the Co-ed prom, at which the girls dote their beaux and play hosts for the evening, is the most popular and unique. The Senate also assigns various committees for the execution of important functions relative to the Women ' s League activities. Legislative power is invested in the Women ' s League Assembly which meets once a LEAGUE month to discuss League business. The Assembly includes all the Senate members as well as the president of each housing unit. The vice-president of the league is automatically the assembly chairman. This year the Assem- bly presented a Leader ' s Rally and honored campus housemothers with a Housemother coffee hour. Both the Senate and Assembly coordinated efforts this year in responding to the wor emergency In addition to contributing much of its time and energy to Red Cross activities, the League held a special mass meeting early in the fall semester of which the Director of the School of Home Economics spoke on the pertinent topic of Women in Wartime. Films relative to the topic were presented and the results of a campus wide CO poll to determine the amount of moil Ohio women sent to men in the armed forces were revealed. Later in the fall semester a Wartime Vocotionol Con- CO ference was held at which a woman official of the notional government dis- closed valuable information for Ohio women concerning the notional ormy E and navy auxiliary units for women. 21
