Boa d ajf PuUiccMo4ti With the two studc-nt publications, Ka Leo o Hawaii and Ka Palapala as its major concern, the Board of Piibhcations met at various times during the school year to determine general publication policies. As in previous years, the board chose at its last meeting the incoming newspaper and year- book editors and business managers. The BOP members include Richard Kosaki, chairman: Mrs. Mary Lou McPherson, ASUH executive secretary; Ralph Miwa, Ka Palapala editor; Margaret Chinen, Ka Leo editor; Mary Okimoto, Ka Palapala business manager; Margaret Yamato, Ka Leo business manager; Sunny Chock, Hank Oyasato and Don Perin, student representa- tives; Dr. O. A. Bushnell, faculty representative; and Mr. William Davenport, adviser. Ka Leo o Hawaii, the student newspaper was published bi-w eekly under Margaret Chinen ' s leadership. Her policy to make the newspaper of, by, and for students was realized to a considerable degree. Two notable changes in the Ka Palapala policies instigated by Ralph Miwa were approved by the BOP. The traditional green and gold cover was changed to white, showing the Manoa rainbow. Probably setting a precedent is the second policy of publishing a limited number of the yearbook. This policy is planned to preclude the existence of a large stock of unclaimed Ka Palapalas at the end of the school year. Lejt to right, first row: Don Perin, Richard Kosaki.

The float showed a three dimensional blown-up seal of the university, a map of the Pacific, an open book, and a torch of learning. Destitute students of four war-ravaged countries were adopted by the university when a worthy and demanding project, the World Student Relief project, was launched in November. The student body, faculty, alumni, and staff members coordi- nated their efforts in carrying a year-round program for foreign student relief. Tlie plan was first sug- gested by Dr. Arrinir J. Marder, associate professor of history, and adopted unanimously by the Inter- club council. The Christmas Seal drive which lasted for a week, was under the sponsorship of the Newman club. Each student received fifty cents worth of seals through his campus mail box. Salvation Army kettles were also placed on the campus for student contributions to their Capital Fund Appeal, a par- ticipating agency of the Honolulu Community Chest. Nineteen-year-old Shirley Moss, attractive arts ..X. John Phillips Herbert Kobayashi Barry Rubin Herbert Maruyama Herbert Hirata and sciences freshman, reigned as queen over the Pineapple Bowl festivities on New Year ' s day with a court of six attendants. The ASUH statehood committee, headed by Patsy Takemoto, arts and sciences senior, compiled student opinions on Statehood and presented them to Senator Guy Cordon, a member of the Senate ' s public lands committee, who arrived in January to study the statehood issue. Climaxing the eventful and successful school year, an elaborate May day celebration and the ASUH Awards Day convocation were held in May.

The Director of Athletics, Dr. Francois d ' Eliscu resigned from his position and his vacancy was immediately filled by the temporary appointment of Mr. Iwao Miyake of the Physics department. Raymond Ho and Claude Takekawa were the student representatives during the last year. Richard Kosaki represented the ASUH council as president.
