Associated Students, the chief force in student government, is a hub of activity on the extra-curricular level and sometimes extending into the classroom. Since September, the various councils and committees under ASUA have noted several milestones. One of the outstanding accomplishments of Associated Students has been the passage of a bill calling for a Traffic Ban on the central portion of the campus. This proposal was tentatively approved by the University Traffic Committee. The Public Relations committee instituted a program of campus tours on Senior Day, Mom and Dad ' s Day, and Homecoming. Critic circle was set up by the Artist Series Committee to stimulate greater student interest in UA Drama productions. At the urging of the Academic Committee, final exam schedules were released earlier. This group also set up a hosteling system to bring students and faculty together for discussions on subjects of national and international importance. Plans for a Camp for Underprivileged Children were formulated and the ground work for systematic placement of books in the Bookstore was completed. Wilbur Wildcat came into being in ASUA Representative Council as a means of increasing school spirit at football games.
