ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE “Give the students what they want,” was the policy adopted by Gil Thayer, assembly committee chairman, during 1934-35. University assemblies are weekly, with the faculty alternating with the students in providing entertainment. Dr. F. C. Lock-wood has charge of those sponsored by the faculty. Those at which the students take charge are opened by the student body president and are governed by parliamentary laws of procedure before they are turned over to the entertainment committee. Among the outstanding student programs of the year were those featuring the Santa Rita Rendezvous orchestra, the University Players, the Spanish club play, Doris Darnel and Burney Vaughn’s Varsity Club orchestra, the sorority skits, the football team and coach Gerald A. “Tex” Oliver, and the awards of honor. Students who served with Thayer on the committee were Mary Otis, Nancy Crowfoot, Charles Herzog, and Bruce Memicken. G. THAYER

Taylor was president, the Associated Women Students this year, under the leadership of Edith I.everton, launched a program of activity that continued from the very opening of school through the week of final exams. Get-acquainted teas for the benefit of all freshmen girls and new students were held throughout registration week, during the fall, and several other times during the year. Perhaps the outstanding event of the year was the Co-ed Formal at F,1 Conquistador, March 2, sponsored by A. W. S. This was the one night that women acted as squires, paying all expenses, furnishing transportation, and taking over all the burdens customary for males to assume. Besides Miss Leverton, officers of A. W. S. this year were Mozelle Wood, vice-president; Dolly S. Beville, secretary; Betty Tuttle, treasurer; Marion Scheppke, social chairman; Flora Lou Kettenback, publicity chairman; Anne Willis, activities chairman. Page 32

Nelson THE TRADITIONS COMMITTEE The big stick of the law wielded by the Traditions committee over the heads of many a quaking freshman became slightly splintered this year. Objections were raised to the present form of observing traditions, with the result that the Traditions committee set out on a shaky flight to reform itself. The new plan was to erect a tribunal which would try the case of wayward freshmen and once more set them on the path of right. Four seniors were to be appointed as the judges for a one month period, and the Traditions committee members were supposed to find these freshmen and bring them to justice. The court met for three wobbly sessions, after which it was disbanded. Ed Maddox, chairman of the committee, thrust about in all directions for a more workable plan to enforce traditions. A general apathy on the subject soon settled about the school, and nothing further was done for the rest of the year. Two plans have been suggested for the future. One is to hold one short month of hazing. The other is to hand traditions over to the Sophos. P «e 3« E. MADDOX 17?
