RALLY COMMITTEE Since 1901, the Rally Committee has been, in the words of chairman Jeff Davine, the guardian of tradition and spirit on campus. Through the tremendous amount of effort and time spent by its members, the committee put on three rallies, as it does each, and organized the cord stunts performed at half-time during football season. The committee maintains the victory cannon, the California banner, and Big C on the hillside. Yet another responsibility of the Rally Committee during football season is to guard the campus from possible Stanford sabotage for the two weeks prior to the Big Game, as well as on-going guardianship of the Axe. But Rally Committee activities are not limited to football-related events. Committee members, easily identifiable in their white sweaters and blue-and-gold beonies work at nearly all sports events: basketball games, soccer matches, and alumni functions, to mention but a few. The Committee often brought the California banner to these events, and helped to usher and check AP cords. Overall, the Rally Committe ' s activities touch more students than the activities of almost any other orga- nization at Col. Members:.

OSKI DOLLS The Oski Dolls, an organiza- tion of over 150 women, is one of the most active service groups at Cal, along with their co-workers, the Californians. Since 1957, the Oski Dolls and Californians have performed three main functions each year. They plan all the events for Big Game Week, except the rally; they help wherever they are needed in the area of athletics, whether that be taking tickets or working in the pressbox; and they run the Speakers ' Bureau, going to high schools in the vicinity to talk about Cal. CALIFORNIANS The Californians and Oski Dolls, aside from car- rying out their set responsi- bilities, also perform infinite other services. They have acted as ushers and aided in the preparation of the Chancellor ' s Ball. They pro- vided their services at the dedication of the Golden Bear statue and of the Char- ter Day luncheon. When the Alumni Association, the Berkeley Foundation, or almost any University orga- nization, needed people to help, they called the Califor- nians and Oski Dolls.
