Susan Davidge, Anne Wilsoi The Women ' s Athletic Association is an organization to which every girl attend- ing Stanford belongs. The Executive Beard is composed of officers elected in a general election and of managers of the fifteen various sports that WAA sponsors. The Board tries to coordinate a program of activities which will be broad enough so as to have some inter- est for every girl. WAA sponsors an intramural program in such sports as basketball and volleyball and intercol le giate sports ' days with other bay area colleges. Several clubs such as Swim Club, Orchesis, Tennis Club, and vari- ous co-recreational activities come un- der its heading. The main events this year were two Bay Area Sports ' Days held at Cal and San Francisco State, re- spectively, and on All University Intra- mural Sports ' Day.

A W S PAT THOMSON The Associated Women Students is an active and vital group on campus, deriving its motiva- tion and direction from the women students. Rep- resenting every woman at Stanford through tlie presidents of both her residence and living area, the group is the policy-making organization for Stanford women and was formed to answer their special needs and interests. For these purposes, it has established five standing committees to deal with specific areas of concern — a Housing Committee (mainly responsible for the place- ment of women in campus residence through a preferential drawing system); a Social Regula- tions Committee; a Scholarship Committee (for raising money and publicizing scholarships); a Sponsor Choosing Committee (for selecting sponsors to orient freshmen and transfer stu- dents); and the Election Committee (which han- dles all phases of AWS elections). Any aspect of Stanford life which is to influence the women must be presented before this group. Spring quarter the new Florence Moore Hall, a residence-to-be for 350 girls, became one of this body ' s chief concerns. This year. Amber Spinning Henninger lead AWS; assisting her were Marilyn Miler — vice- president, Mary Post — secretary, and Fat Thompson — treasurer.

p R E R E G C O M M I T T E E The function of the Pre-Registration Committee is to acquaint new students with Stanford. The most important part of the Pre-Reg Program oc- curs in the Fall when 1200 freshmen and 200 transfers arrive on campus. This year the freshmen were invited to come to Stanford four days before Registration. Dur- ing these four days they were given talks on academics, the Honor Code, the Fundamental Standard, campus life, and traditions. These talks and other informal meetings, such as the President ' s Tea and Faculty Open-Houses, al- lowed the new students to meet the faculty and the administration. A picnic, songfest, and jolly-up dance were numbered among the social events of Pre-Reg Week. These events gave the freshmen an opportunity to make contacts with their own class before being thrown into the rush of university life. There was a similar program for transfers, and a graduate program directed by Brice Wight- man and handled entirely by graduate students. ADELE STROGEN FIRST ROW, left WvnnsK r £ )
