ZO 4 The SPIN COUNCIL GF CLUB PRESIDENTS iDOROTHY MURRAY, of the graduating class of 1931, organized the Presidents' Club and was its first president. The Commissioner of Arts, to which position she was popularly elected, becomes automatically the head of the Presidents' Club. X . The Council of Club Presidents is a semi-official organization composed of the head of- ficers of all student organizations, under the leadership of the Commissioner of Arts. Its prin- cipal function has been to prevent conflicts in the social program of the college and to coor- dinate the activities of the students. The Council chooses one of its number to serve on the Committee on Ceremonies, which body supervises all of the social, dramatic, forensic, and other activities sponsored by the Student Body and not otherwise provided for. Duska Kirkpatrick served as the second supervisor of the Presidents' Club during the first half of the year at which time she was succeeded by Clyde Grant. I X I I X XX im 't N ' ay,-

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.

DRIFT msg 21 'ni , ANQCI. HE ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS have engaged in activities during the past semester which have furnished the strength and spirit of the organization. The Welcoming tea, given in honor of the Alpha women, was held early in the semester. At this affair, the Big Sisters and their Little Sisters became acquainted. This tradition has been followed: each upper-class woman being given the name of an Alpha woman and acting as her Big Sister during her first semester at college. When the Junior College moved to its new quarters, the A. W. S. was given a bungalow to use for studying and lounging, and to make a suitable meeting place for the women. The money which the Commission granted the Association was used in furnishing the bungalow. The art department assisted in decorating the interior. A waffle breakfast was given by the members of the A. W. S. Council, to the Deltas and faculty members. This breakfast was served in the newly-decorated women's bungalow. Those elected to membership on the A. W. S. council besides the oflicers were: Delta representative, Duska Kirkpatrick: Gamma representative, Bobbie Twaddell: Beta, Marjorie Crouch: Alpha, Virginia Gaalken. A movement was started to incorporate the Women's Athletic Association and the Y. W. C. A. as divisions of the A. W. S., these being subsidiary organizations. Miss Robinson's guidance and sponsorship throughout the year has been an inspiration to the women, and there were many sad hearts at the farewell given late in the semester in her honor. Miss Robinson has always been most sympathetic and her wise counsel will be missed by the many friends, who have been happy to be associated with her in various ways. This farewell was also a reception to our new dean, Pearl Hamlin.
