The work of the ASUH started with organizing boards and committees and getting the already established groups underway. These are examples of some of the important working groups for the year: KA PALAPALA edited by Mike Hazama. KA LEO started with co-editors John Ohtani and Fran- ces Chang. Second semester, Frances Chang was editor-in-chief. COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE Dick Kosaki and Michiko Uno were co-chairmen. CAFETERIA COMMITTEE Dick Kosaki, chairman, and Andy Ikezawa, vice- chairman, handled the immediate crisis by drafting the ASUH Council to work there a week till others could be found to work.

BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS Elbert Yee, chairman. ASUH SOCIAL COMMITTEE Leon ' Ha Kekuewa, chairman Did Lei Day dance and lei contest. WAR COUNCIL Andy Ikezawa, temporary chairman Nora Saida, chairman The bond drive was their biggest project. I, The ASUH carried on the Freshmen Orientation Program with Elsie Awai as chairman, assisted by Clara Funasaki, Nora Saida, and Mike Hazama. The plan included Big Brother and Big Sister work, and a new type of hazing program was started. Instead of Freshmen being required to buy Frosh caps for fifty cents, they were required to wear a war stamp booklet around their necks and to purchase fifty cents worth of war stamps. Also instead of meting out corporal punishment a Freshman would be fined a ten-cent war stamp for each offense against traditional restrictions. The YMCA boys were authorized to squelch any hazers who might be too enthusiastic, and to rescue any Frosh in danger of being harmed. 2. Three plays attended by the student body: Kiss and Tell Dough Girls Angel Street. 3. Community Chest drive over-topped quota. Dick Kosaki and Michiko Uno, co-chairmen. 4.
