McKELLAR OLDERSHAW SEVERV State began to be served with assembly piograms of unusually high calibre of entertainment and educational value. One of the most profitable of all projects undertaken was the survey of student expenditures. An entire assembly hour was de- voted to having the student body answer a detailed questionnaire designed to find out how much money is spent by college students in the city of Santa Barbara. Both surprising and gratifying was the result which showed a staggering total sum of $538,738, spent over a ten-month school year. A definite gesture of inter-collegiate goodwill was made hen Santa Barbara State acted as host this spiing to presidents and pres- dents-elect of the Southern California College Student Body Presidents ' Association. Also of goodwill value and with immeas- urable opportunity for education in student government was the at- tendance of President D ' Alfonso and President-elect Duckham at the annual Pacific Student Presidents ' Association convention held in Seattle, Washington, this May. r c 1 l) c ) r i . 1 1 ( i C J f ( ) w 1 1 1 r

Jones, sponsor. The change was warmly welcomed, as the old name caused a misunderstanding to some of the men students as to the membership. This year, featured social events included the overnight trip to Camp Drake in the fall, honoring freshman students, and the annual Hobo Bra w 1, held at Hendry ' s beach this spring as a finale to the Whiskerino or beard-growing con- test.

The Associated Men Students was capably headed by Doug Oldershaw, who provided the men with a closer contact with each other in order that a fraternal spirit would prevail.
