WGMENS ASSOCIATICDN ln order to impart to her pupils a clear concept of democracy a teacher must, of necessity, have had wide and varied experiences in democratic living. Viewed from this light, the Board- ing Women's Association, along with its representative body here pictured, the Boarding Women's Council, provides some of the most valuable lessons for the prospective teacher. The Association membership consists of all boarding women students registered in the col- lege and residing in college dormitories. The Council is elected annually and consists of the officers of the dormitory, the receptionists, and a representative from each corridor. Problems which are no doubt unique in government are given avid attention at the periodic meetings of the Coun- cil and at the monthly meetings of the Association. How to best .maintain an atmosphere condu- cive to studying? On what day should the 3 a. m. fire drill be held? Should a girl be campused when she comes in late, takes too many permissions, forgets to sign out? How long should she be campused? Which girl should have which room? Above all, how may we develop a spirit of cooperation and courtesy so that the women students may live together advantageously for all? Life in the women's dormitory is not always so businesslike and serious, however. Fresh- men welcome parties, funerals for pet squirrels, informal song fests, Christmas parties, and the inevitable taIkathons offer the relaxation and fun that is so necessary and so welcome. Participation in the 'Boarding Women's Association at Shippensburg has come to .mean sharing in successful democratic group living. There is no doubt that such experience contributes greatly to BUILDING BETTER TEACHERS. Page Twenty-One is -mf , EV, 'ix ff, -,t ,J if A, J ut-fp ,ft MN V J vii ,, ,Q , ' ft i

This is done by various means, such as, posting regulations, helping the occasional boy who has lost his way somehow in getting along with his fellow students, improving morale, and establishing better living and study conditions. Every once in a while someone misbehaves. This offender is brought before the council, a board of his fellows, and receives a fair trial. The case is thoroughly studied, and the best judgment possible is given. Offenses of a more serious na- ture are brought before the president of the college, who serves as an ex-officio advisor to the council. The association also sees to it that rooms are clean, light bulbs passed out, floors are swept, and that no non-conforming night owls stay up all night playing iazz music on blaring radios. Learning to live together in a small group is a step towards better world living.
