Liter in the year under Presi- dent Betty McComb's direction the constitution of the group was reorganised for clarity and e Ficien- cy. W.S.G.A. Writes New Constitution On Monday, Feb. 7, the WS GA board met to vote on the new constitution. A committee consist- ing of Peg Ogilvie, Jean Phiel, and Elva Bierman drafted the first form of the constitution. This was done as part of an attempt of the organization to coordinate the gov- ernment of the women on the cam- pus. In the constitution - was stated the purpose of the organization, which is as follows: “To further the spirit of unity among the wo- men. to increase their sense of in- dividual and group responsibility, and to form an official body to give expression to the opinions of wo- men students in matters of general college interest.'' In Article V, the new constitu- tum pointed out that the Ixxtrd should consist of 14 members; three representatives from each so- rority, the town girls, and Bartlett, consisting of the president, vice- president, and one other member of the sorority. Article VI of the constitution Among his informal discussions of the question, “Why Are We Fighting,” a series held on various evenings in the student lounge. Dr. Freund gave his opinions on Rus- sia. He directed consideration of both Russia and Britain's foreign policies and situations. He Itclievcs that Russia's aims will eventually confront the ambitions of Britain and the United States, as well as their ideologies. In turn, post-war planning of the British empire will be partly cooperative and partly competitive towards policies of the United States. As far as we arc concerned, there arc possibilities of raising the level of citizenship education for our youth. They must be made to understand the seriousness of their world of the future. Episcopal Church Holds Corporate Communions During the year the Episcopal church sponsored monthly corpo- rate communions for all college members of the church. These were followed by breakfasts in the parish house and speeches especial- ly planned for the group. Dr. Kucblcr addressed the students on Feb. 25 on the meaning of the mass. Both civilian and army stu- dents participated in these affairs. stated the exact mcml crship of the house councils of the individual sororities. It shall consist of from four to six members, each class be- ing represented in this group. With the sudden decrease in the total enrollment of Ripon college, the activities of Student Secretary Clem Lueck’s office has been great- ly increased. At present there are live college representatives recruit- ing prospective students. Mrs. Charles Engclbracht has charge of Illinois with her office in the Stev- ens hotel. Chicago. Robert Mc- Donald is in the Milwaukee dis- trict, including the Lake Shore. George Lanphcar, lent by the ath- letic department, travels in the south central and southwestern part of Wisconsin. Covering St. Paul and Minneapolis and north- ern Wisconsin is James Dunn. Clem Lueck coordinates the efforts of these four people and follows up mi contacts of prospective stu- dents. In addition to general recruiting a special all-picture bulletin was sent out during third quarter. Friendship week-end was another activity sponsored by this office. Scholarship examinations were giv- en througltout the three states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois to interested students. •fr---------------------------------- Serenade The night was calm and c Siowiy and quietly the small grot of giris made their way up the h on old Hughes walk.

Students Raise $1,800 in War Stamps, Bonds Spurred by competition between the various houses, the February I war stamp drive reached surprising j heights. Harw«x d, under house ! chairman Claire Kieinschmit, rock- eted into the lead with a total of $1,168.3? worth of bonds. Thus ! the college total was boosted to over $ 1 ,vStX), counted for the three- i week period. An intensive drive was launched in November, with John Tollefson | and Betty McComh heading the arrangement committees. Last year's plan of having the various [houses rotate supervision of the .grill booth was revived In addi- lion, sorority memfvrs sold Kinds individually. Two ASTP students were bond winners under the plan jol drawings from a pool of war stamps purchased in the grill. I John Tollefson stated more than 'adequately the purpose and neces- sity of fully cooperating with this [patriotic drive. “Victory is in sight for the Allies, but that is no ex- cuse for any American citizen to [stop buying war bonds and stamps 'Now more than ever we need all [of the available money that can be 'collected to aid in the early down- fall of the Axis tyrants. j It is with this tliought in mind that the Student Giuncil is start- ling its annual stamp and bond drive which must be supported by every student at Ripon college. [Die army men are purchasing hinds every month and will even be willing to buy more for the as- surance of a quicker and a speedier ending to the struggle. All Ripon- ites must back this drive to the ut- most, and with the support of the jttudent body I am certain that Ri- pon college will be able to stand jysidc the other educational insti- tutions in saying that we, too, have done our part to free t he world from the aggressions and ItmCUies which arc running ranv. pant over the earth. We will and fvc must win this war as’ soon as »ssihlc. “Upon the success of this drive Juy depend the life of a brother, father, or sweetheart. Indeed, the urgency of -this drive is apparent a i» also the importance of asking r-ich one to forgo a secondary want the outstanding issue.” WAR COfNClI.: Standing, left to right—Bilk Hooper, Mary Ellen Vci»k« Liseita Roluier, Mary Dunn. l.ni» Krinlr- inan, Harriet Keichpaw, Dean Johnston, lairrainc JohiiMon, Gerald Mirkhnl .

Bock Named War Board Coordinator IbrYearsWnrk Red Cross Blood Bank On Campus Coming from Milwaukee, Wis., the Red Cross mobile unit was in Ripon on Feb. 11 and in May to conduct its blood bank collection. During the February collection, the quota was very hard to reach, be- cause of the widespread flu epi- demic throughout Wisconsin. How- ever, the ASTP men stationed at Ripon did a great deal toward rais- ing and completing their quota. The mobile unit was in the Un- ion from 10 o'clock until 4 o'clock on Kith days. Coach Carl Dochl- ing was head of the executive com- mittee, Prof. Boody, publicity; Miss Margaret Cunniggim, recep- tion, and Major T. R. Barncr han- dled all registrations of the ASTP. Although the turnout for the third quarter bltxxl Kink was much smaller, the quota was helped con- siderably by the small number of students on the campus at that time. Virginia Rock was selected by the Student Giuncil in late Janu- ary to lead the activities of the War Grnncil as chief coordinator. Six other students were named committee chairmen to work with her, and Mr. Anthony Cascino, instructor in economics, was ap- pointed faculty adviser. The chairmen of the commit- tees and the group tlicy have led arc as follows: Red Cross, Betty Roycc; war bonds and stamps, Ruth Ferdinandscn; salvage, Jack Horak; publicity, BarKtra Wheel- er; service flag, Claire Kieinschmit; student relations, Marie Farrelly. During the year, girls rolled band- ages for the Red Cross in the seminar room of the library on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Wednesday nights. Special Thursday night program of rec- ords were arranged during the third quarter by the student rela- tions committee. A. A. U. W.
