Athletics HE Associated Student Body Commission controls all of the student affairs. It is com- posed of seven elective members: President, Vice-President, and Commissioners of Records, Finance, Publications, Arts, and Athletics. The President of the A. W. S. is allowed to sit in on Commission meetings. Any funds granted to various organizations must necessarily be sanctioned by these members. , During the first semester this year the Commission successfully carried the arduous bur- dens that fell to it. Its social affairs sparkled with charm, and financial help was given to the worthy college calls. The second semester was even more successful than the iirst. A few new precedents were set by this last group of students. Most outstanding was the auspicious fact of carrying out, without fail, bi-weekly assemblies that were attended not by a small per cent of the student

DRIFT l9l3 2 DR. ELMER C. SANDMEYER NOWN to all students who have come in contact with him as one of the most esteemed members of the faculty, Dr. Elmer C. Sandmeyer holds a high place in the regard of students and faculty alike. Dr. Sandmeyer has Hlled the oflicial position of Student Body Adviser and Counselor to the Associated Student Body Commission for the past three years. After the first year of the organization of the Junior College, Sandy, as he is affectionately known to the students, by virtue of his excellent work and kind consideration of others, was re-elected to fill the same position for the next two years. It was only during this last year that Elmer C. Sandmeyer became Dr. Sandmeyer, by grace of the University of Illinois and the acceptance of his thesis on The Anti-Chinese Movement in California. At the present time he is considered an authority on that subject, and is much in demand as a speaker for clubs and organizations outside as well as inside the school. Sandy is one of the reasons why students remember Santa Monica Junior College pleasantly.

The past history of the college shows that this accomplish- ment is something worthwhile, as it has been most difficult to arouse in the students the idea of the importance of these student body assemblies. School talent chiefly was portrayed but several talented people in the community were obtained to add variance to the programs, Outstanding also this last semester was the fact that the elective members of the Com- mission were composed entirely of men. The men outnumber the women in general enrollment but it is perhaps unfortunate that the women are not represented on the Commission by one of their own group. A woman's point of view is--a woman's point of view. It is hoped that the earlier precedent of a mixed Commission will guide our selections. The Santa Monica Junior College is proud of its government. With Dr. Sandmeyer to aid with his willing counsel, the Corsair crew feel that the student affairs are wisely guided.
