PUBLICATIONS COUNCIL Originally organized as a body to promote an interest in journalism throughout the school, the Publications Council remained in comparative obscurity until this semester, when it became a true journalistic power. The success of this body was due in great measure to the ambitious and outstanding services rendered by the men of whom it was composed. Having been extended more authority by the General Organization, the council pro- moted a thorough investigation of the con- dition of the various class journals from whose staffs the major publications recruit their members. Invaluable advice as to the literary make-up and editorial policy was re- ceived by these young journalists. The- Stadium, too, was the recipient of much helpful criticism. Continuing even farther in their endeavors, the members of the council instituted a school for journalism. It was not until late in the term, however, that this newly born idea took material form. It is expected that the school will be continued in future years and will grow into a powerful and separate organi- zation. The men who have so greatly aided in heightening the prestige of the Publications- Council and the promoting of literary interest among the students are as follows: Robert Van Santen ....,. ............ C hairman Harry M. Simon, Jr. .... ....... V ice-Chairman Henry Maas ........,........ ........... S ecretary Malcolm Finkelstein ....... ............ T reasurer Thomas Durrance ....................

GERMAN SOCIETY The German Society has, this semester., achieved the coveted and cherished title of 'Gthe foremost club in Harris. It is undoubt- edly the most popular organization of Harris clubdom, the excellence of its programs con- tributing not a little to this distinction. Discussions of the present political and economic situations in the mother country, Germany, formed the principal activities of the club. These informal talks were con- cerned with the various means of lifting the Reich from the serious decline into which it has fallen. Charles Terr, long affiliated with the soci- ety, in presiding over the group this semes- ter, was aided greatly by the faculty advisors. Messrs. Richard Heynich, head of the Ger- man Department, and Werner Miermann at the beginning of the term, found that more faculty assistance was necessary since there was so large an enrollment in the club. Therefore, Kurt Langsam, a new and active German tutor, willingly agreed to render his aid. Under three advisors the club has ap- parently prospered, and to them, as well as to the officers, congratulations are certainly due. Charles Terr ....., ............
