FOR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: . THIS COMMITTEE MEMBERS First row WAYNE BOYDSTUN PAULA BRAUN JACK CURRY HAROLD GOULD CLAYTON LITTLE REX LOONEY Second H. C. FIELDS T. GENTRY I. GOLD JEFF STEINI-IART GENE WILLIAMS PAUL LATTURE, C fmirman Student dances in 1936-37 were operated for the eighth year under the supervision of the Student Social Committee. Conduct at dances, orchestras, finances, arrangement of student dance dates, and all other details are left in the hands of the committee which was appointed by Jim Lee Howell at the beginning of the school year. As regards dates for .dances, the committee has made some attempt to work in co-operation with fraternities, sororities, and other groups, but failed a a certain extent this year to satisfy the desires of certain organizations, namely, Chi Omega, Sigma Chi, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Theta Tau. Chi Omega and Sigma Chi squared off charging Alpha Kappa Psi and Theta Tau of having been shown preference in the awarding of dance dates. The affair was talcen to the Senate, but was actIIally arbitrated by President Futrall and Dean Ripley. The Chios took a date in the 28 day law, and the Sigma Chis were allowed to go to Bella Vista to have their dance. Later President Futrall decided against this. During a year of heated and bitter arguments, Paul Latture had a difficult assignment in presenting the right dances at the right time in the season allowed for dances by the University. 23

ROBERT RHODES MARY JANE THOMPSON OWEN MORROW VANCE SCURLOCK HENRY TUCK THEODORE SYLVAN The Student Senate, representing all classes of th: University and forever seeking to wleld the scepter among student affairs, has had little success along- these lines until this year. However, with the advent of Jim Lee Howell into the role of President the usually silent Senate chamber was aroused and forced into some semblance of action. A bi-weekly newspaper was instituted and several useless and tattered constitutions of the horse and buggy days were buried in effigy, as it were, and a new and valuable constitution written. The Senate also witnessed some vicious oratory over a dance date in one of its 'iteapot tempest meetings, but eventually arbitrated the affair. During the Spring election the Senate was filibustered over an argument con- cerning the eligibility of candidates in the race for vice-president of the students. - The Association is a member of' the Midwest Student Conference and of the National Student Federation of America, and is represented annually at both conventions. , Politics in the spring come under the direct supervision of the Student Senate.
