The Hendricks Chapel Board plans the comprehensive religious and social program that constitutes the spiritual life of the University. Composed of the Chapel Dean and his staff, four denominational pastors, six faculty members and twenty-four students appointed by the chancellor, it acts as an intermediary in the development of comradeship between faculty and students. The Women ' s Chapel Association is comprised of all women students desirous of activity on the Chapel program. It ' s administrative body is the Women ' s Cabinet of the Chapel Board which supervises and guides the association in the activities that are of special interest to women. Cooperating with the Women ' s Chapel Association in the work of the Chapel program is the Men s Cabinet and its associated student group. This group directed by the Men ' s Cabinet, which corre- sponds to the Women ' s Cabinet in form and executive powers, carries out the functions that are devoted to men students. The purpose of the Convocation Committee is to bring to the students of the University, men and women who have been outstanding in their respective fields of endeavor. Convocations are also held at seasons when there is occasion to commemorate a University tradition. During the fall semester, Mr. Walter hHampden spoke to a record size audience of students and faculty members. On the Thursday preceding the Syracuse-Colgate football game, Mr. Kenneth Bartlett ad- dressed the traditional pre-Colgate Convocation. During the spring semester, several prominent speakers addressed the student body. On the Thursday before Moving-Up Day, the convocation observed one of the oldest traditions of Syracuse, the annual Moving-Up Day Convocation. The Convocation Committee consists of six regular members and a number of sophomore and freshmen candidates. The duties of the Committee are to receive, entertain, and introduce the guest speakers, as well as to arrange the dates and topics for discussion. CONVOCATION COMMIHEE Bdcl Row: left to right, J.

Morley The Women ' s Student Senate is in its Fifty-seven years of development from tfie Women ' s League and the Women ' s Student Government Association has risen to a prominent place in the University life of this campus. In its official capacity, the Senate cooperates with the Dean of Women and the Men ' s Student Senate in the supervision of all undergraduate activities. In conjunction with its regulation of the conduct of women students, it promotes a varied program in the interdsts of women ' s affairs. Every woman upon registration in Syracuse University automatically becomes a member of W. S. S. and is held responsible for knowing, as well as strictly observing the rules. The delegates to the Senate consist of the house presidents of all living centers. The Men ' s and Women ' s Senates have jurisdiction over all class officers and organizations with the exception of athletics, which is a regular department of the University. They have broad powers and can bring about practically any change that the members consider best for the student body. In cases affecting both men and women, the Senates work jointly. While in affairs of concern to both students and the Administration, an executive committee acts, which is composed of Senate officers and the President of the Student Body, and members of the Administration. The Women ' s Student Court was established in the fall of 1932 for the purpose of governing on all infringements of W. S. S. and Administration rules and providing penalties for these infringements. The Court also studies the campus problems relting to women and recommends solutions in accordance with the University ' s rules. The Court is primarily concerned with the individual girl rather than the group. Representation on the Court is based on the enrollment in the colleges. From a list of senior women submitted by the dean of each college. Of these ten are chosen by the Dean of Women and the executive committee of the W. S. S. They, with the Dean of Women and a faculty advisor make up the governing body. The vice-president of the Senate is the Chief Justice. The president of the Senate is a member ex officio. 20

FRESHMAN— SOPHOMORE CLASSES At the opening of the school year the newly elected officers of the Sophomores and Freshmen care- fully pick groups called the executive committees to help in the guidance of the affairs of the class through- out the year. With the selection of these committees the work of the class dances comes about. Two weeks after selection of the committees the Sophomores held their annual hHop. David Mold was appointed chair- man of the dance with assistance of the entire remainder of the executive board. The affair was highly successful and thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance. The freshman dance under the direction of Richard Ferydburg established this class as one indeed capable of making a good account of itself. This once more established the freshman dance as a yearly function due to no action along this line the previous year. A second dance, closed to all but members of the class of ' 38, was held in April. Yates Castle was the site of the affair which was again highly successful. The rest of the school year goes for the establishment and promotion of class projects. The Student Union is a question which has been hanging fire for a great time, was championed by the freshman class. They undertook to circulate petition among the student body in cooperation with Junior class which was to express the sentiment of the body as a whole toward that project. The Sophomore class while not coming out openly on any set project had a number which it carefully experimented with. Money was donated to the Student Emergency Loan Fund, a fund for students in need of immediate financial aid. The alma mater was carefully reviewed a poll of feeling towards this question was completed and the present song really is the most satisfactory for this our beloved university. Seating arrangements at the football game was also discussed and an agreement reached after a great deal of work on the part of the members of the Executive Committee of the class of ' 37. In summing up we may say that the two lower classes proved their ability to fit into the picture of University life. They have proved that they are of the stuff which the typical Syracuse student is made of. 22
