We feel that we are progressing, probably a little slowly but steadily. Doubtless the one thing that points to our progress more than any- thing else is the adoption of the Honor Spirit in all our dealings. At California at Berkeley, self government, for a number of years, has rested upon a spirit of honor. The spirit and strength of that body has grown and broadened until it is known throughout the world for its efficiency and fairness. In 1922 this same system was adopted by the students at the Branch of the College of Agriculture at Davis, and since then complete trust has been placed in the students by the administration. It will take time, a period of readjustment, to make the system air tight, but it is working, working far better than any other system could hope to workaand why not? A Californian is a Californian whether at Berkeley or at Davis. W The Executive Committee The Executive Committee is the active governing and judiciary body of the A. S. U. E, having general supervision of the affairs and property of the Association. It authorizes expenditures, and approves or rejects budgets for the maintenance of the affairs and property of the Association. The committee appoints editors and managers of the California Aggie and the Rodeo; the Picnic Day Chairman, the Jitney Fair Chairman, the Publicity Manager, and the Managers of all athletic teams. It awards letters and medals, and has power to change the design of such emblems. The committee is composed of thirteen men as follows: The Student Body President and Vice-President, a Senior class representative, a J unior class representative, a Sophomore class representative and teX-officioy the President of the Freshman class, the Faculty Manager, or F aculty representative, and one representative from each of the following: Athletics, Publications, Activities, Inter-Fraternity, and Inter-Dormitory Councils. The Committee meets each Wednesday night at 7:00 iolclock in the Class Room Building. One of the most important business transactions of the past year, was an investigation of the Student Body Store. Hereto- fore the Co-operative Store was owned and operated by the Student Store at Berkeley and all dividends went to that store. It is still owned and operated by that store, but half the dividends are turned back to the A. S. U. F. This past year some twelve hundred dollars dividends were turned back to the Student Body of Davis. . A great deal of business of this character is transacted through the Executive Committee, making possible Student Government, or to a great degree simplifying it. l25l

FAIBCHILD The Publieity Committee The Publicity Committee is composed of a chairman appointed by the Executive Committee and two or three other members chosen by the chairman to work with him. It is the duty of the Publicity Committee to get before the public in all parts of the State news of all the important events regarding the California Aggies. During the fall semester the Executive Committee appointed William Cass, who most efficiently got football news, and news of other activities, into the press. T hrough his efforts one could follow, through the news- papers, the results of all of the games of our football squad. In the spring semester, Cass did not return to college, and the Execu- tive Committee appointed CliiTord McDuff to succeed him. The prowess of the Aggies in basketball, boxing, wrestling, baseball and track appeared in papers in all parts of the State, and those that read a paper could not help but know that there was a ttCal Aggieh school, and that it was doing things. Announcements of coming games were published, and these were followed up by results of the particular contest. The Bulletin Boards in the Class Room Building were kept up-to- date, as well as neat, it being the general policy to make it give as much news to as large a number of students as possible. Those serving on the committee during the Spring semester were: Stephen F airchild, Joe Meilike and Elmer Eggers. To them is due as much credit as to the chairmen for the success of the committee. It was through the advice and co-operation of Coaches Driver and McCorkle that the committee was kept working smoothly and efficiently and to them much credit must be given.
