NMENT MEN Men's Student Government was established in 1937 and was designed to give students a chance to solve their own problems. For the past two semesters, it has been functioning on a reduced scale, since the Men's Assembly and the Civil Service department were shelved temporarily last spring due to the manpower shortage. Acting in its place was the President's Council, an inactive body composed of seven members from the campus at large - students as well as faculty heads. This council acted solely in an advisory ca- pacity to the President. However, a need was felt for a working student government for the duration, and council members worked on the renovation and reor- ganization. L V i Edward Karkut Arthur Heidgerd '43 President '44 President A new men's government organization was created by a bill and passed by men students at a convention dur- ing the spring. The bill provided for the formation of a new elective governing council of sixteen members -the four ranking class oilicers, two men elected from each class, and four non-voting presidential appointees. The president of Men's Student Government serves as chairman, ex-ollicio, of the governing council. Powers of the new council are the same as those delegated to the assembly of MSG under the constitution. The bill was presented to and approved by a trust com- mittee set up by the assembly before it dissolved, and the governing council oflicially replaced the former seven-man council. MSG COUNCIL From row: G. Willey, A. Heidgerd, J. Grimm Second row: J. Fardy, E. Gibson.

With the peacetime staff of the Office of Men's Affairs gone off to war, the work of the office has continued under the direction of Acting Dean Frank Piskor and Professor Lewis W. Crawford. Campus men still get the intensive attention their wartime personal, educa- tional, financial, vocational, and Selective Service prob- lems require. In cooperation with the Academic Deans, Dean Piskor arranges for all withdrawals when men are inducted, and through correspondence, takes care of many of their educational interests. In cooperation with the Academic Deans, he selects those men in scientific fields, whose deferments will be supported by the University. Both he and Professor Crawford are planing postwar programs for men. GOVER FACULTY Prof. Lewis Crawford Acting Dean Frank Piskor The competent and understanding staff in the Dean of Women's Office has been the counsel and back- bone for almost every activity on campus. A five- point service program consisting of guidance and help with personal problems, plans for housing, adequate social activities, a social educational program, and vocational advice, is offered to women students. Miss M. Eunice Hilton, Dean of Women, and her competent staff insure the coed a happy and successful college career. The social program is supervised by Miss Penfield, and Miss Templeton is sorority and vocational guide.

UPPER HOUSE WOMEN'S STUDENT i SENATE Fzrrl row E Vidor, J. Gilson, J. Ashley, J. Phillips. Second row: E. Haft, M Loncrgan T. Heidel, D. Christiansen, S. Brown, R. Brooker. Third row: P Witzel M Robbins, J. Olson, P. Stewart, M. Benjamin. Women's Student Senate is located on the second Hoot of the Administration Building. Working in cooperation with the office of the Dean of Women, it has jurisdiction over all affairs concerning women. It elects its own officers, makes its own rules, and iniiicts its own penalties. This year, Senate faced the problem of adjusting to a military campus. The problem was not an easy one, but Senate coped with it, and endeavored to cooperate with the military per- sonnel in its relations with the women students. A special effort is made to maintain a normal Syracuse for and beyond the duration. 1. The recent Triple-S program was the largest in the history of Women's Student Senate. A supper party was held for participating sophomores, at which Dean Hilton spoke. Each Triple-S group presented a skit relating to some phase of Senate work, and Senate ofiicers entertained with a parody on a typical Senate meeting. To maintain a complete social program, Senate aided in sponsoring the all-university dances, held throughout the year. The plan, instituted last year of holding a convocation at which candidates for ofhce in the spring elections are introduced, was continued. 5 LOWER HOUSE Firxt row: C. Wilder, B. Ross, E.
