A.. Admissions ,Ol '-djllstq Mm RVEY SW ALTER Em lift An admissions counselor is often the first member of the Stephens family whom a prospective Stephens Susie meets. ln order that he may get to know each girl's personality and anticipate her needs at Stephens, an admissions counselor Cor field manul visits each girl's home and confers infor- mally with her and her parents, and with faculty members at her high school.

6 Extra-Class Division DR. MERLE PRUNTY The organizations of the Extra-Class division is administered through the Student Civic Associa- tion, of which every Stephens girl is automatically a member. Civic Association operates under a grant of power from President Wood. In this Way the Legislature of Civic Association is given execu- tive and legislative authority over the non-academic activities of the College. The activities of Civic Association are carried out by the following divisions: Student Activity Boardg Pan-Hellenic Councilg the Independentsg Board of Publications: Campus Service Board: Council of Class Officersg War-Peace Organizationg and Student Recreation Association. The affairs of this huge organization, therefore, become the concern and responsibility of all students on campus. Each year the Legislature makes rules to cover all campus problems in order that through a demo- cratic form of self-government, it may efficiently control all matters relating to individual conduct. This division of the college program provides a testing ground for Stephens girls to show initiative and leadership ability. By participating in the well-organized life on campus. the students profit greatly through the cooperative experience of group living. Dr. Merle Prunty, faculty director of this division, believes that extra-class activities should offer to students an educational experience that involves correct social behavior and cooperative living. It is his belief that all the girls should have some type of definite responsibility and learn to carry it creditably in order to prepare themselves for responsibilities in later life. I9
