Dean of Men’s Advisory Council Founded two years ago, the Dean of Men’s Advisory (Council stands today as another landmark in the achieve¬ ment of democracy at Park College. Together the Dean of Men with his student committee, made up of the presidents of the men’s dormitories, the president of the Y. M. C. A., and the president of the student body, attempt to analyze and deal with problems naturally arising among the men of the college. Whereas, authority was centralized, it is now decentralized to the extent that the men students have an advisory capacity in any action vitally concerning them. This advisory capacity leads to the solving of many prob¬ lems in their early stages and on the whole promotes better understanding between faculty and the men of Park. Women’s Student Government Association The Women’s Student Government Association in its third year on the Park campus has endeavored to govern the women of Park by creating loyalty to certain standards of conduct rather than by making a number of set rules. It is only through personal responsibility and loyalty that self government in any form can exist. This year, although the W. S. G. A. has not accomplished all that it had hoped, it has made certain very definite advancements in meeting the needs of the Park girls. Problems concerning the girls of the whole campus have been considered by the W. S. G. A. Council which is made up of the four officers elected by the women of the campus and the presidents of all the women’s dormitories. Those prol)lems concerning each dormitory individually have been considered by the house council of the dormitory concerned, working in conjunction with the entire council. The W. S. G. A. has received a great deal of cooperation from the administration in carrying out its program. It is the hope of the council that with the increasing loyalty of the girls on the campus this organization will continue to grow in inlluence and ability to deal wisely with student problems. D. M.

9m OF MEN HEM OF WOIHEI If the Philosophy Professor had not ultimately become the Dean of Men, it is certain that the Dean of Men, regardless of who he was, would ultimately have become a philosopher. His is the dithcult task of distinguishing the malicious from the mischievous, the habitual from the accidental, and the incapable from the poorly applied. These functions Dean Cannom dispatches with his quiet dignity and tirmness that has won him the friend¬ ship of the men of the college. Whether advising freshman girls, teaching Home Economics, or acting as chairman of the student-faculty social committee, Mrs. Baxter is always gracious and sincere. Her first year as Dean of Women has seen that position efficiently filled as she has directed the social program of the campus, guided the W. S. G. A. in maintaining standards of behavior, and concerned herself with the general welfare and happiness of the women of Park. Lf ' f m mm - - ' , Mrs. Hazel S. Baxter Dr. C. If. Caiiiioni I ' - [20

There are those who say that Jim Farley would do well to take lessons from a Park College campaign. Yell, “Burma Shave” signs (the idea, not the advertisement) make the campus look as if all the sign painters took a holiday and painted signs. The Saturday night Mickey Mouse bows to th ' Hashing of the fair visages of the candidates upon the screen. Pamphlets, speeches. Commons con¬ versation, sensational surprises—all are a part of the vying of the three parties. Liberal, Progressive and Independent, for the vote of Joe Q. College. For five years Park College students have enjoyed this most democratic medium of selecting their leaders. Each Spring [22 1
