GOVER OURSELVES Back row: Scott Through the student council, composed of four regu- lar members and two alternates from each of the four classes, the student body governs itself in all matters concerning extra-curricular activities, makes recommen- dations to the administration, and plans and administers the divisions of the student activity fee to its various purposes: publications, sports, recreation, forum speak- ers, and Student Union. The student council meets each Thursday at 7 in the evening to discuss and make de- cisions on subjects suggested by students, faculty mem- bers, or the president of the student body. There are five standing committees - assembly, social, activities, finance, and Student Union. This year the student council planned and executed many activities - the annual Building of the Mound Ceremony, when each student adds his rock to the pile north of Richardson Hall and a Southwestern alumnus fthis year Rod Brownj inspires new and old Builders to carry into practical affairs the spirit of building - the freshman mixer, a party which tries and usually succeeds in mixing the freshman up - class elections, Homecoming, including the rally, the assembly and the parade - all school parties, field day, council break- fast, and selling Southwestern T-shirts and stickers. It sets the dates and rules for many activities, such as campaigns, elections, etc. One of its privileges is to select each semester one day for a holiday. First semes- ter the day before Homecoming was chosen to permit the students to trim their floats for the parade and the second semester a holiday was promised if the basket- ball team could defeat Wichita U. With that incentive, the team, with the backing of an exceptionally enthus- iastic crowd, won the game and the holiday. Pa Q -63 ge 25 5 fp-...S i 9

FRIE D TO THE GIRLS Another newcomer to Southwestern's campus is Mrs. Mildred Skinner, counselor of women and assistant pro- fessor of home economics. Mrs. Skinner taught in Fort Scott High School and junior College for twelve years before coming to Southwesterng she acted as girls' adviser there also. She is a graduate of Kansas State College at Manhattan with a bachelor of science and a master of science degree in home economics. The problem of dormitories, both in quantity and in administration, is a difficult one on every college campus now, but Mrs. Skinner has skillfully supervised South- western's four girls' dorms with their ninety girls. She firmly believes in being a real friend to her girls and always chats from an easy chair with an ease of manner which has surprised and pleased the girls who come to her. She is willing and able to smooth many of those wrinkles which girls encounter on the face of college life. In the Counsellor of Woxnen's pleasant office, Mrs. Mildred Skinner presides at her desk Pa P26
