INTER-SOCIETY COUNCIL It was probably pure luck, but during the second semester of this year the only time all the members of the Women’s Inter-Society Council could meet was dur¬ ing their lunch hour, so they got to have a picnic every month! The only objec¬ tions voiced were that the idea should have been conceived several years ago. Charlotte Hanke served as able chairman of the group both terms, and regular problems of rushing and pledging were discussed. The council serves as a final court for all inter-society problems, and gives an opportunity for the various society representatives to work out their mutual or individual difficulties to the benefit of all the societies. The council membership this year included, during the first semester, the presi¬ dent and one representative from each society, and during the second semester, the old and new presidents plus enough representatives to make three from each society. Members clur ing 1937-1938 were: First Semester Castalian Second Semester Cecile Hovda Cecile Hovda Charlotte Hanke Gamma Epsilon Sigma Charlotte Hanke Dorothy Skelton Anna May Theby Lillian Newcom Beatrice Arney Theta Sigma Anna May Theby Beatrice Arney Anna Mae Chandler Marjorie Norcross Rachel Yokel Anna Mae Chandler Rachel Yokel Dean DeLong meets with the group and is thus able to acquaint the societies with the ideas and suggestions of the administration, and to help bring about amicable relations between the groups represented.

PUBLICATIONS Supervision of all college publications is the work of the committee on publications, and its approval must be gained before any other student publica¬ tion can be officially recognized. In the spring elec¬ tions, the group names two persons for each of the offices of assistant editor and assistant business man¬ ager of the LinC and the Crescent. The students then make the final selections, and the lucky ones automatically become editors and business managers after their apprentice year as assistant. Van Keuren, Olmsted, Grabert, Armstrong, Lane. (Blackburn missing.) SOCIAL LIFE Social life of any college is a problem; it may be easily overdone, and just as easily neglected. The social committee each year provides a well-balanced diet of social activities designed to meet the needs of the entire student body in co-operation with the inter-society functions. The handbook lets out a little secret, however, for it says the committee has as an additional responsibility the education of the members of the student body and the faculty to the social ideal of the college! DeLong, Overfield, Morlock, Kleiderer, Patberg, Jones. WELFARE Beghtel, Wills, Pruitt, Stieler, Priestly. (Sayre missing. Have you ever wanted anyone to worry for you? Well, here’s just what you want, for the welfare committee “shall be assiduous in efforts to insure the relief of students who are in difficulty or trouble from any cause whatsoever.” Along with this rather large order, the group keeps in touch with students who are ill, places graduates (we hope) , investigates housing of students, and receives applications for loans and scholarships.

In October the girls honored their fathers at a steak-fry, and late in November they joined with the Alumni Association to give the customary football banquet, which was this year opened to the entire school. Under the leadership of Cecile Hovda, president, Wilma Brackett, social chairman, and Leland Feigel, alumni president, the banquet which was held at Craig Hall in Trinity Church was acclaimed a forward step by the 160 persons attending. In December the Gamma Delta organization was entertained at an old-fashioned Christmas party (with Santa Claus Skelton present!) and the rush party in February was held according to custom at the Country Club. The fourteen pledges were enter¬ tained at Zeidler’s and in turn gave the Mothers’ Day Tea in May.
