Another important Association body is the Board of Publications, Mem- bers include the editors of the three official publications (Wildcat, Kitty Kat, Deserti, the professor of journalism, the general manager, and the president of the Associated Students. This board supervises the university publications, and appoints the editor and business manager of each publication for the succeeding year. Editors and business managers receive $100 a semester, may hold their positions for only one year. Of many campus committees, one of the most active, and, with freshmen, most unpopular, is the traditions committee. Composed of a chairman ap- pointed by the Board of Control, and of members chosen by this chairman, this body attempts to foster school patriotism by upholding university tradi- tions. At the first of each year the traditions chairman meets with the new freshman class, explains to them the customers of the university. He acts as chairman of the class until its members are organized, officers elected. CO-OPERATIVE BOOK STORE and founljin .3rc owned by the associated sludenls.

miscreants are given a public spanking by the troditions committee members. Large paddles are used, and the whacks are painful to behold. Although freshmen traditions end at Thanksgiving, a number of traditions are respected by most of the student body. These include refraining from smoking on Memorial Fountain, not going through the middle door of the library entrance during exam week; several others. The election board, selected by the Executive Com- mittee, conducts, supervises all elections. Every Thursday morning at 11:40, an assembly is held in the university auditorium. Programs are planned by the assembly chair- man. Organizations putting on winning skits each year receive cash prizes of $50, $15, and $10 for top places in both men ' s and women ' s divisions. A recently formed organization is the rodeo committee. Since the University of Arizona ' s inter-collegiate rodeo has become so im- portant an event, this group works hard from September right up until the rodeo itself in March. To offer the students as full a social life as possible is the aim of the social committee. It arranges the Wednesday night social hours in the Rec Hall, as well as planning a number of all-students body dances during the year. Each woman student of the university is a member of the Associated Women ' s Students, as well as of the rR£SillE. ' T :: the 33 ;a1ed v omen siudenls Icr 1 .

With its own organization, officers, constitution, and council, A.W.S., according to the student ' s handbook, is organized for the purpose of regulating all matters pertaining to student life of its members which do not fall under faculty jurisdiction; to further tn every way the spirit of unity among the women of the university; to increase their sense of responsibility toward each other; and to be p medium by which the standards of the university con be mode ond kept high. An important sub-organization of A.W.S. is the Round Table, a group made up of the presidents of all the women ' s organizations of the university. Round Table serves as a co-ordinating body for all the activities of women ' s organizations of the university. As on organization, the Associated Students owns and operates two businesses, the Co-op Bookstore and the Rec Hall. Both of these are in the basement of the women ' s building; they are managed by persons hired by the Association. The Co-op sells everything from Indian jewelry to swim suits, but its main stock is books and school supplies. Any profits go back into the general fund of the Association. This is o sketch of the university as a community, working as an organization, the Associated Students. With its officers, committees, ac- tivities, and business projects, the Associated Students, like the university whose students are its members, is a going concern. 23
