9 tteSi-SosMSiit f. Council All rushing carried on by the four so- rorities each fall is subject to regulations by Intersorority Council, whose job it is to establish and to enforce the rushing rules. Advised by Dean Terrill and headed by Pat Hooper with Frances Sis cho as secretary, the Council is composed of the president and one other representa- tive—the rushing chairman—from each sorority. As has been the custom for the last two years, the council set up rules under which every new unaftiliated coed was pledged to one of the sororities. It also regulated the number of pledges each house was to take and dealt with all problems arising from the rushing pro- gram as well as those concerning other intersororitv relations. Following tnc precedent newly estab- lished last year, the Intersorority House Council worked in connection with the Intersorority Council. This group, com- posed of the four sorority presidents, had the job of campusing girls who broke reg- ulations of house hours as well as setting the terms of such campuses. In this the presidents were aided by the house coun- cil of each of the six women's houses on the campus. l.ejt io right—P. Peek, B. J. Weiss, F. Sischo, L. Guenther, M. Graham, J. Brown, E.

Fleck, H. Knop Headed by Harry Knop. student body president, the Student Council during this year has acted as a means through which every member of the school body has been able to express his views or sugges- tions concerning college affairs. Besides voicing student opinion, the council, com- posed of the presidents of the sororities and fraternities, has carried the ideas of the faculty and administration back to the students, thus helping to draw the two groups closer together. Some of the things the council worked on during 1941-42 included the annual walk-around dance, the encouragement of organizations such as the college band and the Christian Forum and the revision of the Artist Course seating arrangement. Probably one of the most marked accom- plishments of the group was the success- ful promotion of a more friendly spirit between this school body and that of Lawrence college, Ripon’s traditional riv al. In this the council worked with stu- dent representatives of Lawrence. Besides Knop. other officers of the Council included Keith Kuehn, represent- ing Wright, wrho served as president pro tern, and Pat Hooper from Harwood, sec- retary. Other members of the Council were: Frances Sischo from Lyle. Jackie Brown from Parkhurst, Betty Jane Weiss from Duffie. Howard Schuh from Merri- man. Pete Renner from Evans, Don An- derson from Shaler, Bill Fleck and later Jim Rcmbcr from Smith, Orville Erdmann and later John Bodette from Tracy, and Ervin Zippel from West. twenty

f'Mo i flzauti ul £cuf,4. £{ieA cesi InxicAf Each sorority contributed the names of four candidates, the students voted in chape! narrowing the field by student vote to ten beautiful girls and thus the stage was set for the Crimson beauty con- test which was to determine “RIPON’S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.” Each girl’s face was photographed from every conceivable angle in an effort to show them at their best. They were the final judges as to the photo submitted in the final judging. Then the pictures of |ane blumenshine, Kay Klenert. Pat Peck, jane Van Bergen. Phyllis Lindsley, Betty Jane Weiss, Bonnie Kaiser. Barbara Kristjanson. Pat Hooper and Margaret Dunn were sent to the final judge Spen cer Tracy. As Ripon's gift to the cine- ma world, he was well qualified to choose six of these girls. The final selection found Spencer 1‘racy picking the six girls whom he thought to be the most beautiful on the Uipon campus while on a Victory Bond Tour of the United States, so that over fifty of the greatest stars in the movie world have seen these pictures. The Crimson is very proud to present to the students of Ripon College the six girls chosen by Spencer Tracy whose pictures are found on the opposite page.
