ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL The Administrative Council, the principal administra- tive committee, is essentially a committee on committees; for although it has cognizance of administrative problems, it usu- ally delegates a temporary committee of qualified staff mem- bers to implement its decisions, especially in the case of problems of a contemporary routine. Measures which seem to require legislative action by the general faculty may be prepared for such action by this com- mittee or a committee appointed by it. The Council has seven members. 00ed eheaee pe = ara 9

SsAmAmoe nena Marvin E. McKee Students, Graduates, and Friends: Through the courtesy of the Plainsman Staff, we extend greetings to the students, graduates, faculty, and friends of the Pan- handle Agricultural and Mechanical College. The period from 1950 to 1960 has been one of growth and development for your college. The physical facilities have more than doubled in floor space and value. The school is staffed with a well-trained and dedicated faculty. Your school is now fully-accredited with the North Central Association. This edition of the Plainsman represents the activities on the campus during the last year of this important decade. We hope that it will bring you pleasure. Long after you have left the campus and memories have begun to fade in details, this book will serve as a link between you and your college—a link based not alone on light pleasures, amusing memories, or a bit of sentimentality. But as years pass, you will come to realize that the tie between you and your school is one of intellectual and moral significance, that the habits of thought and the ideals respecting truth and intellectual honesty learned here have become an in- tegral part of your social understanding. This book will be a record of those deep and binding friendships of your college years. Few are the friendships you will make after you leave college that will be as lasting as those you have enjoyed here. You will make acquaintances by the thousands, but few will be the rich experiences in which you will find the unreserved giving and taking of the “self” that characterizes college fri endships. I hope that you will never forget that only the present belongs to us. Unless we seize it, we can seize nothing. Unless we improve it, we make no improvement at all. Unless we attend to the task at hand here and now in the living present, we shall most certainly find ourselves less fitted for the work of the future, whatever it may be. There will always be a need for good citizens, practically minded people; but the greatest need of all, as always in human society, will be men and women of strong character, unselfish people of vision and deep religious faith. Sincerely, Marvin McKee President 18 ,

STUDENT GOVERNMENT The most important student groups on the campus are the Student Sen ate and Supreme Court. By virtue of the presence of these organizations the voice of the student body is heard. Valuable training in citizenship, de- mocracy, and leadership is gained and the student body as a whole is benefited. The student senate form of government is operating in its second year. With its advent has come a keen sensitivity to the overall college program and a wide acceptance of responsibility on the part of the student leaders. The Senate effectively administered the home- coming activities, and members have partici- pated vigorously in the Oklahoma Intercol- legiate Senate Association. Projects in the plan- ning stages are: revision of the point system for Who’s Who; implementation of a Hall of Fame; and study of a system of chimes or bells for the campus.
