THE MOTHERS CLUB This year the Mothers Club of Southern Methodist University furthered its fine work of aiding students in various ways. The policy of lending money to needy students from a Student Loan Fund which is supported by the money derived from life mem- berships in the club was continued with greater success than in previous years. In addition to the loans, the Mothers Club gave clothing and textbooks to worthy pupils. These projects have enabled many students, who would otherwise have been unable to do so, to attend school. Each year the Club sponsors a project for all the students. A silver service to match the one given two years ago was presented to the dining room of Virginia Hall. The boys' dorm- itory received a radio from the Club last year. Other activities include a spring tea for the University Women's Club, a band concert in front of Dallas Hall, and a joint dinner for the mothers and dads. Next year the Club is planning a landscape garden in the rear of the new Fondren Library. Their motto of Help Students has been fulfilled this year with great success, as is evidenced in the activities of the Mothers Club for this year. THE DHDS CLUB Continuing their contributions to campus projects of the past few years, the members of the Dads Club were instru- mental in obtaining new uniforms for the Mustang Band. They also have assisted many students in securing part-time ern- ployment and have aided in the distribution of the new S. M. U. Digest. As one of their annual projects, the members of the Dads Club sponsored the combined rally of high school bands and pep-squads between halves of the S. M. U.-Arkansas foot- ball game. Cooperating in the Campus beautification program, the Dads Club has aided with time and money in the setting of shrubbery and in other activities connected with the main- tenance of a pretty campus. ln addition to these continued objectives, the Dads Club is planning to secure lights for Ownby Stadium. The fulfillment of this part of their program would make it possible for night football games to be played at the stadium. The Club is devot- ing itself chiefly to encouraging the movement for the erection of a Student Union Building and a new Field House and Men's Gymnasium. Most of the progress which has been made in the realization of these two goals may be attributed to the Dads Club. n PAGE 19 MRS MRS MRS MRs MRS MRS MRS MRS MRS MRS MRS. MRS MITCHELL MOTHERS CLUB L.

Order Assistant The Library began operation in 1915 with the opening of the institution, and occupied for all its purposes, the east end, main floor, of Dallas 1-lall. Since 1923 work rooms and stacks have been added in the east end of the around floor, and also a reading room for Dorothy Amann periodicals has been added on the extreme west end, south side, of that floor. ln addition, collections of theology and science books are housed and circulated in Kirby and Hyer Halls. Operating on only a budget, without special endowment, neither purchases nor staff can be enlarged as desirable. Even during lean years, however, the Library has made steady progress. The new Fondren Library will provide needed space, and the arrangement of quarters for all library departments will permit efficient service and economical operation.

STUDENTS HSSOCIHTION O F F l C E B S ToM Gnnviiss ..... President EDWIN FLEMING . . Vice-President LURLYN IANUARY .... Secretary BEPBESENTHTIVES Engineering School Graduate School Bill Montgomery L. MCD. Kennedy Max Morrison I Continuing the high ideals and ethical prac- tices established by the Students Association last year, the Student Council conducted the elec- tions tor class otticers and the filling of vacancies in the Council chairs with an etticiency and tair- ness which have characterized the activities of this group throughout the year. The tirst important problem which taced the Council when it convened at the beginning ot the M school term was the question of athletic appro- priations. The passage ot an amendment which TOM GRIMES provided tor the payment ot ROTUNDA pictures out ot the student activity tee depleted the tunds allocated to the athletic department. As a result, another amendment, limiting the appropriations to the athletic department, was placed betore the student body but tailed to muster the necessary majority. Athletics were thus assured of the same appropriations from the student activity tee as they had received in previous years, since the power ot allotting tunds Was lett to the discretion ot the Appro- priations Committee. Continuing the interests in a Student Union Building displayed by previous Student Associations, the Council sent its vice-president to the Student Union Building parley, which was held at lndianapolis, Indiana. A program, coming directly trom suggestions brought back by its representatives, has been investigated and furthered as tar as possible.
