Rrimnn HB COUNCIL of House Managers works in close cooperation with Legislature and takes responsibility for the uniication and enforcement of regulations in the halls. To accomplish its aims more effectively, the council has formed workshops composed of house managers for the purpose of informal discussions of hall problems. The importance of the council is evident, for a strong hall is partly determined by the effectiveness with which the rules and traditions of Stephens are upheld. The newlyfelected house managers from each hall select their chairman and secretary in the spring for the coming year. Oflicers for this year were Betty Ann Sipprelle, chairmang Carlyn Jewell, secretary, and Mrs. Louise Howell, sponsor. Assistant house managers are members of the council with no voting power.' Each year the ofiicial guide, a manual describing the duties of hall officers, is revised to meet changing conditions, This proves that a system of regulations may be designed to meet individual 2 19 O il ll' CZ' problems and yet may be reasonably uniform with respect to its major requirements. Each member of the council writes out the policies of her hall and makes a list of her own duties to inform the newly' elected house manager of her responsibilities. The lists of ref sponsibilities are compiled in a handbook at the end of the yearg one of these booklets is left in each hall for the incoming oflicer. BETTY ANN SIPPRELLE Page 22

Directing the Senior Sister Organization at Stephens is the Senior Sister Council composed of its ofiicers, a representative from the Senior Class Council and representatives from the 16 junior halls. The officers of this year's organization were Katherf ine Oates, presidentg Gretchen Wormhoudt, vicefpresident, and Johannah Johnson, secretaryftreasurer. The president is elected in the spring elections and the others are chosen by the council of the previous year. This group of girls meets once each week to decide upon requirements for the 250 senior sisters and to determine informaf tion presented to the juniors. Through this organization new juniors receive correspondence from individual girls as well as college news of campus life and events. All this helps new stu' dents feel more at home on the campus upon their arrival. From this time on the senior sisters are always there to assist the juniors with everyday problems and campus life. They also aid them in becoming acquainted with other students as well as their hall counselors, advisers and other faculty members. - f was-.r -' - eww-. V- -ie I V?- E 152-5 ai?

KATHERINE OATES One main objective of the organization this year was the striving for unity within the senior class itself and among the other classes. Friendship Week was originated by the Junior Steering Committee to help carry out this theme. The organi- zation also strived for understanding between students and facf ulty and more inclusion of day students in campus affairs. They also stressed the real meaning of student campus government and the allfimportant goal of Stephens living, the Ten Ideals and the Honor Code. Cofsponsors of the group were Miss Florence Gilchrist and Miss Elizabeth Evans. Ulf A ' ' 'ii .-il,,Q7,,w 'K' Front Raw: A. SiNiPsoN, G. Womu-rounr, K. O.-vrss, J. JOHNSON, K. KARSHNER, J.

GRIBBBN Board of Publications The Board of Publications cofordinates and serves the col' lege's four major publications. It conducts a campusfwide surf vey on the request of the editors and thereby analyzes and evaluates Stephens Life, weekly campus newspaper, Stephens Standard, literary magazine, Stephensophia, yearbook, and Within the Ivy, handbook for incoming students.

In November the Board of Publications cooperates with the faculty sponsors in choosing from the junior class the editor and staff of Within the Ivy. This year's editor was Marilyn Ehle. The Board puts out some minor publications, including hand' books explaining election procedures for spring and fall elections, a campus participation calendar listing different activities of the yearg a directory of all campus oflicers and the Stephens song book, containing both the traditional and the newlyfcomposed songs on campus. All money raised from these publications is put into the Board's operating fund for the following year. In the fall, for the Hrst time in the history of the Board, a convocation was held to acquaint new students with various campus publications. Each editor gave a brief resume of the paper or magazine she directed, duties of the participating girls and campus services performed by each publication. Different social activities were held throughout the year. Steak fries were held at the home of Mr. Fowler and the tradi- tional dinner honoring the staff of Within the Ivy was given in the spring.
