MWS. The task of orienting new students has traditionf ally been delegated to the A. W. S. True to that tradition the freshmen and entering students were presented with invitations to share tea and cake with the faculty at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. To Virginia Kyriazi and Vic' toria Regier went the responsibility of arrange' ments. To Doctor Alexander C. Roberts and the administrative faculty went the responsibility of the receiving line. With the semiannual welcomes out of the way the organization settled down to a program of activif ties. President Frances Bolander scheduled a night mass meeting in Annex B. Close to 50 members dis' regarded diets and munched hot dogs while listen' ing to ,lack Fisher, Milt Bronstein, Howard Bruf beck, Dawn Wilson, Helen Cox and Evelyn Fitzf patrick. Gingham Day held jointly with the W. A. A. and an exchange meeting with San Francisco Junior College were marked up as the major spring events on the A. W. S. calendar. THE A.W.S. holds a night mass rally in the Music Depart- ment headquarters. Hallowe-'en decorations prevail. MMS. Ignoring superstitions pertaining to Friday the thirteenth, the Associated Men Students flaunted fate and scheduled a Foo to Finals dance for Friday, May 13th. The dance was planned by President Tom Thorpe and a committee early in the semester. The election of Tom Thorpe created one of the 'Lbest news stories of the year when he defeated Frank Collin by two votes in the spring balloting for A.M.S. head.

Runar Stone was elected to the position of vice' president, and Gaetano Stella was elected treasurer. Fall president Daryl Hopkins and his officers, Red Thompson, Steve Ebert, and Joe Lee worked out a schedule of A.M.S. monthly rallies.

The major fall event on the A.M.S. calendar was the CobblefGobble strut given in conjunction with the A.W.S. The dance was held in the gym and featured gobblers as door prizes. Daryl Hopkins was cofchairman of this affair. First event under the new A.M.S. officers was a general rally held on Thursday, February 24, in the Little Theatre.
