Personnel Council The Personnel Council was organized in the spring of l933, going into effect in the fall of 1934. lt was set up by W. P. lteese, then dean of men, and was capably carried on this year under the direction of Dr. VVilliam Plum, dean of men, and Chalcea While, dean of women. These two faculty members were assisted in tl1e counselor work by twenty-four upperclass men aI1d women, who were selected because of their interest, good characters, and personalities. liach counselor is assigned a number of freshman students, and it is his duty to cultivate their friendship, help them with their personal problems, and to instill in their minds the ideals a11d standards of tI1e college as early as possible. Besides his duty to his particular group, the counselor also seeks to aid any student who is having difficulty in getting settled into the routine of college life. During the spring of this year, each counselor and his group were entertained at the Plum home by Miss White and Mr. Plum. Two groups met together, one group of men and one of women. This enabled the new students not only to become bet ter acquainted among themselves, but gave them a chance to meet the deans in aII informal way. A project which fostered a great amount of interest on the campus was that of the 6'Charm School , iI1 which students were taught various ways of developing a more pleasing personality. The Charm School was under the direction ofthe Womenis Councillor group. Six meetings were held, two of which were ,open to men. Talks were given by Winfield residents on manners, dress, neatness, courtesy, and similar subjects. Although still in its infancy, the Personnel Council has already made great strides, and shows promise of being of more value ill the future. r J I I I t F irsl row: RIKIKAIXD, PHILLIPPI, HITTEII, PLUM, YOULE, COUNTIIYMAN Second row: FRANKS, FIIIENIJ, AMES, CIIATHM1, SPEIRS, LENANDER, DIETEIIICII Third row: GREEN, COOPER, IIUBENETT, lVl00lIl'I, KING, NEW'ENS Fourth row: LIPPoLn'r, MAWUSLEY, lVIClNTIRl'I, WHI'fE, ENGLISH, T nIIxmUI.I,, DIETEIKICII Page 13

One phase of this broad aim is met through the oppor- tu11ity for self-government and legislation offered by the Student Council. Each class elects its delegates to this representative assembly which meets regularly to discuss and act on matters relative to student life at Southwestern. VVith the advice of their faculty sponsor, Dr. Penrose Albright, and under the diplomatic leadership of our student presi- dent, Bob Youle, the Council has this year enacted regulations on the expenditure of funds for various collegiate activitiesg introduced a new feature on the annual college program, Brother and Sister Day, when the students on this campus play host to their brothers and sisters of hiffh school are' directed all-school functions' and supervised student assemblies and elections. zz ln v v The Student Council has responded with resourcefulness and sagacity to tl1ei1' task of giving Southwestern a student life which is democratic and rich in opportunity for enjoyment and achievement.

The changes appear throughout the book. The pictures and words by which a yearbook fulfills its purpose are still here. As does every yearbook stall' we hope that this Nlouudbuilder is just a little better than any of those of previous years. In these pages we have tried to depict the g'History of Southwestern, l.938 . How well our purpose is fulfilled will be left for you to judge. Just rememberfthe book is published, not for criticism, but for your enjoyment. Each staff member has played an important part. in the publication of this book. Some, through extra time and interest, have helped more than others, but all have worked toward a common goal-the publication of a Moundbuilder that is your year at Southwestern. VVe hope you like it. Page 14
