President Beckelhymer In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to what he has been thinking about all winter—the student body election. With the hum of party machines and the whir of propaganda, our attention is acutely centered on the student council. This year our president has been Hunter Beckel¬ hymer, a forceful speaker and fine leader. Reuben Corbin, vice-president, and Betty Sloan, secretary- treasurer, are the other elected representatives. Janet Clark, Jack McClintock, and Harry McKittrick are the members chosen from the student assembly. The student council this year has been very inter¬ ested in revitalizing the student council Constitution. This will set the stage for a future body that will be a real force in representing the students’ opinions. [ 18 ]

Everj ' individual needs the help of a guiding hand. It has been the aim of the W. S. G. A. to extend the help of such a hand to the women of the campus, by setting before them a code of rules including suggestions for proper conduct on and off the campus. Better wear hose to dinner, girls. How many does it take to make a quorum? Shall Parker House have one-half a vote or a full vote? Why give Terrace as much representation as Woodward? What will be the outcome of all this wrangling? The answer is self-govern¬ ment for the men of the campus, a worthwhile experiment.

Politics on Park Campus is as fast and furious as modern blitzkrieg warfare. Pamphlets are everywhere, distributed in the commons and dormitories and even floating down on the gentle breezes. There are stump speeches that one can’t help but hear because a P. A. system has a way of commanding attention. Though perhaps not exactly orthodox in its man¬ ner of organization. Park politics is a real battle royal.
