The most powerful student organization on the hill, the Student Senate is the representative judiciary, legislature, and exchequer for the twelve hundred undergraduates who elect its members. , This year the Student Senate has offered a changed voting procedure, whereby women representatives are now elected by the whole school instead of being chosen in separate elec- tions for women. Included in the suffragette movement also has come the addition of more women members to the coun- cil, making the total number of women representatives five at the present time. There are ten men members. The Senate appoints the Central Treasurer who has charge of distributing its appropriations. - All the women on campus are members of the Women's Student Government Association, which, through the W. S. GL Council, makes and revises the rules which govern the women students. The Council is elected annually. The Social Committee annually sponsors the Co-ed Formal, which is one of the big dances of the year. The Lantern Parade is given each year for the freshmen women. Each sorority and the dormitories presented a skit this year, and bulbs were given to the freshmen by the juniors, which were planted in Valentine Grove in an at- tempt to counteract the damage done by the Hurricane of 1938. . Through the Council the W. S. G. A. is working on various plans pertaining to late permissions, smoking rules, and the Freshman-Junior-Sister program.

SUEIULUEY EL B One of the many recently-formed organizations, the Outing Club, quickly took an active part in the campus activities. Its purpose is to provide a source of out-of-door recreation and its activities have retained interest for many who like the out-of-doors and the hiking, skiing, and picnics that gO with it. The Club has a completely informal organization. .IIS membership is not restricted. Members, while not necessarily athletically inclined, do like the wholesome activities ill' cluded in the Club's program., Many' interesting and educa- tional hikes and trips are taken each year. Then too, itS numerous picnics are fun. Its program includes an attempt to enlarge skiing facilities on campus. Organized in 1940 the Sociology Club has rapidly devel- oped into an energetic, working organization. Pragmatically tossing aside any encumbering features uncovered during the first experimental weeks the club met twice a month to hear guest speakers and discuss general sociological problems. An attempt was made to relate these problems, as social stratification, to daily campus affairs so to give the activity more meaning to the members. Young as the club is it bids fair to become one of the outstanding affective clubs on campus. Besides the bi-Weekly discusssion various field trips as to Mansfield Training School were arranged by the groups. This was a further extension of the clubs' desire to deal particularly with practical problems. The faculty advisor is M. T. Record. 14 lull? ' ,, a ,A lv ,.

WI1lVIEN'S VARSITY ULIB Aiding in the organization and participation in women's sports at the University, the Women's Athletic Council ably supplements the work of the physical education instructors by providing for uextra curricular .w,omen's athletics. The group is composed of women students' -elected for their inter- est and skill in SP01'ts. 15' The success of the intra-mural sports program for women, initiated last year, is attributable to interest which the mem- bers of the council have taken in organizing and promotnlg the intra-house activities. l Social events are included in the council's list of activities, and the Barn Dance and Came Party this year are success- ful examples of the monthly socials the group has sponsored. The council is closely co-ordinated with the W'omen's Val'- sity Club, which elects three members of the council HH- nually. ' Closely co-ordinated with the WOl11CU,S Athletic Council, the Women's Varsity Club is an active organization COQI' posed of girls who have demonstrated their superior abil1tY in advanced sports and who have earned their letters in at least two sports. The Club compensates for the discontinuation of W0Il1eH,5 varsity teams by planning a series of -playdays between C0'Cd teams of the University and those of other schools. The Varsity Club is also responsible for the intramural SPONS for women. It offers awards to women who qualify ill ad' Vanced Sports and to outstanding participants in the intra- mural activities. 16 7 w . mill' lu I, gi' 4 f. agilllglwuyi' H1119 Iypr lfllfgii 11 C wil in Dunfif my ni athllligkl lilenlilih gi file I1 The of? to Zilla' bointf viii orlff to 'off tht an lien?
