L. Schmidt, Padgett, Buck, Schnakenburg, Abshire, DeLong, E. Henke l 0 WOMEN'S COUNCIL The bevy of beauties portrayed here have power similar to that of the Men's Coun- cil, so-called. Each year the gals welcome the frosh with open arms, feast them, and prepare them for the spring shearing . . . uh, . . . pledging. lnterweaving with the system of political patronage in the College, these girls arbitrate in the annual May Day festival--and lit is rumoredl the aftermath of the spring election is a weighty factor in determining the queen of May. With all these laforementionedl beauties in the organization of the Executive Committee, it would seem more equitable if they drew straws on the outcome, membership in the Executive Committee being a requisite for queenship. Personnel of the said Committee, figured with slide rule and algebraic formula, is extracted lthat's the word all rightl from the iunior, the sophomore, and the senior classes, the YWCA prexy, and Dean DeLong, she of the calendar and the punch bowl. lt might be added that this committee has concurrent iurisdiction over rushing and pledging problems with the Women's Intersociety Council, league of amity and friendship.

Hartke, Pollard, Magazine, Morlock, Chandler, Killion, Sansom 0 MEN'S COUNCIL Two afternoons a month, when their dinner has digested and their mental powers are keen, this group of solons elevate their feet and their minds and decide the crying needs of the men in the college. This masculine body is equipped with re- sidual powers, to govern with faultless precision wherein the constitution of the Student Government Association does not expressly rule. Safe in the tradition of democracy, we find thes'e venerable wits preserved from the terrors of despotism by a system of checks and balances - each fraternity elects two able men and true who take turns at trying to influence the two unorganized members of the Council and Professor Yellow Paper .lim Morlock. Generally, the main item of discussion is who pulled that fag on the college lawn? and variations on that theme ad intinitum. Disgusted at having their new fedoras fluttering on the fioor, the boys got to- gether early this year, held a heated caucus, and in a blaze of glory announced the purchase of a new hat rack and coat hanger for the men! The Council, popularly called, is 'not a Council but the Executive Board of the Council. You and you and you are the Council!

0 WOMEN'S INTER-SOCIETY COUNCIL The idea of the trinity of administrative authority extant in Fritz' Triumvirate, was, probably, drawn from the organization of the Inter-Society Council. It lthe lnter- Society Councill is appellate in iurisdiction, catching the torch as it is flung by the other women's administrative organizations. The torch usually is women's pledging and rushing activities. Two members from each sorority are chosen for first semester membership and the second semester president from each sorority is also included to add new ideas to the organization, Miss DeLong is an ex ollicio member of the Council. This tri-partisan council meets monthly, ponders the fate of the measures brought before it, but is limited in its power to take final action. Power is vested in the con- current features of the Women's Council, the Inter-Society Council, to quote Capel '38, is the big happy family. , Christina Mann was president both semesters in the Theta Sigma society, there- fore their representation in the second semester's meetings was two.
