CCIM CN INTERSORORITY COUNCIL The social and rushing chairmen of each sorority on the campus arc the active members of this newly reorganized coun- cil. Under the sponsorship of Dean Goodrich this group is intensely interested in fostering closer acquaintanceship be- tween the houses as a whole and the in- dividual women on the campus. Henri- etta Lee of Bartlett Hall, the president of the group, and the other members have arranged a plan by which each house is a guest of one other house at some form of entertainment. This year Bartlett enter- tained Harwood: Harwood, Lyle; Lyle, Parkhurst, and Parkhurst, Bartlett. STUDENT COUNCIL The connecting link between the stu- dents and faculty is supplied by the Stu- dent Council, a group which integrates these two bodies for better cooperation and feeling. The council this year formed a new constitution which has been ap- proved by the faculty. During the spring quarter student forums were established to fully discuss the various student prob- lems. This body furthers joint coopera- tion between the respective fraternities and sororities as a unifying agent. The officers, this year, are: Mary Reed, presi- dent: Donald Stewart, president pro tem- pore, and Myra Vivian, secretary. seventeen

CB IHfCN J. 1XAII DEAN Autumn days of dripping color, winter days »1 quiet snow, spring days of soft skies, tilling buds, mur- muring waters; so nature’s eternal pageant passes. On Last and Ingram the ivy whispers; at its feet, ivy- leaves of yesteryear form ever a richer mould for to- rnor row's green and scarlet. Words? Yes But such words, words penned by J. Clark Graham, Dean of Ripon College, in describing the campus. Perhaps the most famous of his word- painting.' is his scries of animal chapel addresses on the day before Thanksgiving. Who hasn't felt that trange nostalgia rising inside, the longing to he home again—when listening to the eloquent and expressive Mr. Graham? Then there are those delightful informal conver- sation' which may take place, in which Dean Graham reveals himself not only as interested in literature and in literary criticism, hut also in any topic under the 'tin. I es' entertaining, but doubtless just as beneficial, are his roll-call interviews—those interrogations as to why things are as they are—and not as they should he. Hi' fine insight into human nature makes him par- ticularly suited to all phases of his administrative du- ties. lie commands the respect and admiration of all Ripon College. ID IDA NS DR.

MIHHN SOCIAL COMMITTEE To the social committee of Ripon Col- lege we owe the regulation of our organ- ized social activities. We line! in this body a functioning force that is comprised of Mrs. Ruth Christ, the faculty chairman, and the social chairmen of the sororities and fraternities on the campus. During the winter quarter it sponsors the annual election of the Junior Prom King. The policy and dates of parties of each house are also arranged by this group each quar- ter. To it we owe also the sponsorship of several after-dinner dances during the year. W. S. G. A. Regulations regarding the women's houses on the campus are vested in the Women’s Self-Governing Association This body passes on rules which are strin- gent to acceptable standards for the main- tenance of each house. This year the privilege of late-show nights was abol- ished and in its place Wednesday night was made an 11:30 night. Rulings for special permissions are provided with the understanding that each house will main- tain this ruling by its own methods. Rep- resentatives include each house president and vice president and one underclassman. eighteen
