PRANTE The Tnterdermitery Council The Interdormitory Council, consisting of the president of each dormitory and one elected member, was provided for in the A. S. U. F. Constitution. In the past its Chief function has been to develop a feeling of interdormitory fellowship. This has been accomplished through the holding of interdormitory dances and athletics. The Interdormitory Dance has became a campus institution. Begin- ning as a closed affair, planned exclusively for the members of the dormitories, the demand from outsiders to participate, has justified throw- ing it open to the campus public. The action of the council of having a dance each semester, instead of once each year, has been a success and should be continued. In the matter of athletics, interdormitory basketball has attracted the most attention, although baseball and a horse-shoe tournament hold promise for the future. The basketball season ended With a triple tie between the Faculty and the teams. In the finals the F aculty won the series. An activity Which holds promise for the future, is the furnishing of an Interdormitory club-house or club rooms. Already there has been a small sum deposited in a local bank and it is hoped that this Will be added to When the returns from the ctInterdormitory Clubhouse Fund Danceti comes in. One other activity Which holds promise for the future and Which should be encouraged, is the interchange of dormitory talent at meetings. It is hoped in this way to develop latent talent as well as add to the interest of dormitory life. t291

The inauguration of elective membership seems to have been an incentive to join and the membership has increased from fifteen to thirty. Under the direction of Mrs. Ivor F. Torrey the club has had a busy year. In the F all semester a concert was given on November 2nd at Davis, and though the audience was in fact a small one the program was rendered as if to thousands. The same concert was given at Woodland and was enthusiastically received. In the Spring semester all effort was directed toward the Operetta, ctIn the Garden of the Shahtt which was produced on March 28, at the Varsity Theatre. This was a novel presentation for Davis and was made possible Only by the ladies of the community who assisted in chorus work and feminine parts. Costuming and scenic effects were worked up to a point heretofore never approached and so gratifying was the result that requests to play the piece in their home town were made by numerous people in the district surrounding Davis. The Glee Club has been very fortunate in having for an accom- ist Miss Maude Luft. Especially fortunate in a place where there are so few pianists. A popular branch of the Glee Club was the California Aggie Quartet whose selections were in great demand. Perhaps the crowing achieve- ment was the radio program rendered by them; broadcasted from Kimball-Upson C0. of Sacramento. Letters of commendation were received from places as distant as Hamilton, Montana. 1311
