President of the Student Body USO that student government may operate to its fullest extent, complete cooperation between the administration and the student body is essential. Due to our present economic stituation, these two bodies have had to work hand in hand more than ever before. I feel that the student body, appreciating this situation, did its full share to 'play ball' with the administrationf'--Thomas Lombardi. Thomas A. Lombardi, familiarly known as Tom, has had an active career throughout high school as well as college. To climax his extra-curricular activities he has received the highest honor p,,,id,.,,, which can be awarded an undergraduate, namely, the presidency of the student body. IIIHOMAS LOMBARDI Tom was born in Jamaica, L. I., on January 6, 1912. At Flushing High School, he partici- pated in a variety of activities, culminating with the honor of being named on the all- city football team. In 1929 Tom entered the College of Business Administration at Syracuse University. Tom's progress in football continued in college, where he participated in freshman football. He stroked the freshman crew to victory at the annual Poughkeepsie regatta. In his sopho- more year, Lombardi was a member of the class executive committee and repeated his performance of the preceding year in stroking the Junior Varsity crew victoriously across the finish line at Poughkeepsie. In this year he received the Devil's Own Trophy, awarded to the most outstanding sophomore, and was elected to Monx Head, junior honorary society. The James A. Ten Eyck Award for the most valuable crew man went to Lombardi in his junior year, and he was made president of Monx Head. In this year Tom was the varsity stroke and played tackle on the varsity football team. He received the Monx Head award for the most outstanding junior. 1932 brought Tom new honors. As a result of his hard work and outstanding ability during his college days, Tom was elected by the entire student body to be its president. In this capacity, he served as a member of the Athletic Administrative Board, the only undergradu- ate to be a Board-member. He was a member of the Senior Executive committee and the Senior Ball committee, and the vice-president of Phi Kappa Alpha, senior honorary society. Tom was afiiliated with Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity and was captain and stroke of the varsity crew and captain and tackle of the football team. 20

l Men's Student Senate IN 1928 the original senior council underwent complete revision, and the present lVIen's Senate evolved for the purpose of securing more satisfactory student government. All colleges are represented in this body, the larger colleges having two senators. Both executive and legislative duties are performed by the senate. ln this capacity it is regarded as the acme of undergraduate power, governing the entire scope of men's activities. Under the senate's supervision come class elections, class social functions, and men's rushing. Punishment for violators of Senate laws are recommended by this body to the Student Court. Under a newly devised system, the presidents of the underclasses may sit-in on the senate meetings. HEIuaEIrr Ross l . Pm-xiderlf However, they are not considered as ofiicial members.
