Important and indispensable in University affairs is the office of Student Activities. Created a decade ago, this office has in re- cent years become the liaison between the four component parts of Tulane University — the student body, the administration, the fac- ulty, and the alumni. Calvert G. de Coligny, Tulane ' 32, is serving his third year as Graduate Manager of Student Activities. Duties of this office re- quire the incumbent to act as General Student Body Secretary, keeping records of the Student Council, including records of all receipts and disbursements of student activity fees; serving in an advisory capacity to the Student Council in matters where prece- dent may carry weight; and supervising and coordinating the man- agement of student activities to secure clos:r cooperation in their respective works. Necessarily, the Graduate Manager of Student Activties must cooperate as closely as possible with the Student Council. Execu- tive orders of the undergraduate governing body must be adminis- tered by the Graduate manager in order to secure coordination among the various organizations and activities of the University. Tulane was host during the spring of 1935 to representatives of a vast number of universities and colleges of the Southland. The Southern Federation of College Students, together with the TRUSTERS Southern Division of the National Student Federation of America and southern members of the National College Press Association, made New Orleans their headquarters on April 11, 12, and 13, 1935, for the annual meeting of the three bodies. John B. Mc- Daniel, Jr., Student Council president, also served as president of the joint convention. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Mn.MHnRS j()ii 15. McDwiEi., JK Prcsidiiil Co mm life C.

McDaniel, Jr. President oj ilte Student Council Membership of the Tulane University Student Council is com- posed of the presidents of the various colleges of the University — Medicine, Law, Commerce, Engineering, Arts and Sciences, and Newcomb. Individual members are elected by popular vote in each student body, and council officials are chosen by the members themselves. Unique in selection and powers, the Student Council holds a place apart, if not an envied position, among institutions of higher learning in this country. At the 10th annual congress of the Na- tional Student Federation of America, held in Boston during Christmas week, Tulane ' s system of student government was lauded as the most democratic and liberal of those colleges repre- sented. Rigid control over officially recognized student activities, author- ity to acknowledge only those organizations which conform to stated requirements, and budgetary and financial powers rarely en- joyed by student governments are but evidence of the council ' s characteristically exceptional authority. The Tulane Student Council was organized in March, 1915, at the installation of self-government at the University. For twenty years, from Commencement to Commencement, a score of Student Co uncils have functioned as supreme legislative, executive and judicial bodies in every aspect of undergraduate activity.

CLUB In line with the Alumni Association, the Turk Club does its part in boosting the University. The Tulane University Rooters Klub (T. U. R. K.) was founded at Tulane in 1932 for the purpose of promoting school spirit through the use of card displays, at football games, helping with pep meetings and the selection of cheer leaders, and, finally, for the purpose of furthering better intercollegiate understanding and relationship by meeting and entertaining visiting athletic teams. Due to the competent assistance of the cheer leaders, excellent cooperation from the Newcomb and Tulane students, and hard work of the T.U.R.K. members, card displays rivalling those of the University of Southern California were put on at the Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Sewanee football games. Because of the good work done by the T. U. R. K. ' s in uniting the students and stimulating their spirit in student activities, the future of the club is extremely bright. Page 24.
