cfhe Students ' Actiuitg Association. ( I HE first thought of a Students ' Activity Association for Union University originated - in the mind of our much honored and loved President, Prof. H. E. Watters. He saw during the years of the past, that the athletic associatoin and other college activities were supported almost altogether by donations from the students and faculty, and that at all times there was an insufficiency of funds to equip and send out good teams, and to schedule games with high class teams, much less to present to the student body musical and literary attractions, of an educational nature, in the form of a lyceum course. So at the beginning of the spring term of 1919, Prof. Watters submitted his plan of a Student ' s Activity Association to the student body for approval. His plan was that each society and fraternity elect two representatives and that these representa- tives would form a Student ' s Executive Committee which would be the directors of the activities of the association. The student body voted to adopt this plan so the Executive Committee met about May the first to organize and be ready to operate on a good basis at the beginning of the school year of 1919-20. Mr. L. P. Royer was elected chairman of the committee, Mr. Eugene Johnson, vice-chairman, Miss Bess Powell, secretary, Mr. W. Q. Maer, treasurer, Mr. Roy Hall, business manager, and Miss Elizabeth Jarvis and Mr. J. L, Hodge, salesmen. As the chairman of the committee failed to return to school this year, Mr. Roy Arbuckle was elected chairman to fill the vacancy. Under the management of Mr. Hall, the association has prospered in a remarkable way. The association handles all the books and stationery for the students, and from this source it derives a good income. The association also handles the laundry, operates a pressing shop, shoe shop, and a barber shop, and these also add to the income. Be- sides this, a co-operative buying system was inaugurated by which the merchants of Jackson gave to the association 5 per cent, discount on all cash purchases of the students. From these various sources a very good sum of money has accumulated. The Student ' s Activity Association, with the proceeds of these enterprises, has been able to aid all student activities in a substantial way. There is no doubt but what Union has put out better teams, played better games, and had a more successful year in ath- letics than for the past several years. The association also aided four delegates to go to the Student ' s Volunteer Convention at DesMoines, Iowa, in January. Also it has brought to the students a lyceum course of six attractions. The Student ' s Activity As- sociation has been a great success this year, and we are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to even greater success in the years to come.
