With a superabundance of women on the campus this year, A. W. S. had a full pro¬ gram. Highlight of the year’s activities was the Vocational Information conference to guide Ozark career women in their search for bigger and more lucrative jobs. Held in October, the conference lasted for three days. During that time women students listened to reports from women in industry, education, nursing, and the armed fo rces. Women had the upper hand at the annual St. Nick’s Ball—a vice-versa affair. Each house nominated a soldier and a civilian as candidates for St. Nick. Carnall Hall’s soldier nominee, Pvt. Truman Brown, Air Corps, was the lucky boy whose name was drawn out of the hat at the dance by Virginia Mitchell. At the beginning of the fall quarter A. W. S. sponsored the orientation of freshmen and transfers with the aid of Mortar Board and Sophomore Council. Later a mass meet¬ ing was held to introduce members of the A. W. S. executive Board and to outline the program for the year. Student-Faculty teas, fashion and conduct posters, student-welfare campaign, and the Red Cross bandage rolling room were among the activities of A. W. S. The year ended with a specialized training period for all new officers. OFFICERS Kathleen Gammill . . . President Dorothy Zeek . . . Vice-President Martha Lou Foreman . . .

The attempt to keep student government alive this year has been seriously hampered by the Draft Board. Meetings were held regularly every other Thursday at four o’clock in the Student Union, until President Joe Weisiger was called to the Army early this spring. Membership of the Senate this year was made up entirely of New Deal party mem¬ bers, since the all-powerful New Dealers received little, if any, opposition from the Sig Alph-Chio-Kappa combine. Main accomplishments of the year have been the selection of a Social Committee to promote a little enthusiasm and interest with regard to weekends on the campus, and the addition of a second Bulletin Board in the basement of the Student Union containing cards with the names of former University students now in the armed services. An amendment to the Constitution conforming the instrument to the quarter system instead of the semester plan was passed by the members, but the proposed amendment con¬ cerning a change in the requirements for candidacy for Student Body president and vice- president was rejected by the students. This latter amendment would have permitted a girl to hold either office, and it is evident that the few civilian boys left on the campus still want to hold the reins. STUDENT SENATE Joe Weisiger.

First row: Braswell, Crook, McAdams, Mat- lock, Moore. Second row: Phillips, Purifoy, Stuck, Taylor. To the Social Committee, under the leadership of chairman I. E. Moore, we offer our thanks for the gay times we’ve enjoyed in the Union on week-ends. It is the function of the Social Committee to see that something “cooks” in the way of entertainment on the campus on Friday and Saturday nights. It is this committee which arranges and sponsors every student dance. The smash bang success of the year, which the committee sponsored, was the New Year’s Eve dance—complete with paper hats, confetti, horns, and refreshments. The en¬ tire Student Union building was put to good use with games in the second Hoor and base¬ ment game rooms, refreshments in the grill, and dancing on every floor of the building. Yes, believe it or not, the committee was even able to arrange for us to have late permission in order that we might watch little 1944 tumble in. Organizations desiring to rent the ballroom of the Union for a certain evening must put in their application to the committee to be passed upon. I. E. Moore has made a calendar of all social engagements for the year and at the beginning of each quarter has published the calendar of Union activities to take place during that particular quarter. Members of the committee are elected from their respective houses and meet every other Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 in the Student Union building. SOCIAL COMMITTEE I. E. Moore Mary Ella Crook .
