F. I. and Staff and Circle. 'Briefly, the plan provides for representatives from each college on the campus, to be elected at the regular autumn elections. Serious diversities of opinion have arisen over the exact system of representation as relating to the College of Liberal Arts and the professional colleges, and over the jurisdiction of the council in matters pertaining to the individual colleges. At present it appears that the difliculties can be eventually settled peaceably and with benefit to both sides concerned. The Student Council is a permanent organization at other universities, and should be so at Iowa. The idea has met with the favor of both student body and facultyg it marks a distinct forward step in the steady march of student democracy and self-government. It is the organ for the expression of student opinion. With continued hearty co-operation it cannot fail to become an influential factor in university life.

THE QUADRANGLE ASSOCIATION In the spring of 1919, the bulk of a huge building constructed about an immense hollow square loomed up high on the west banks of the Iowa river. Originally planned as a barracks, the shadows of the S. A. T. C. had departed ere the masonry was completed, and thus Iowa was in possession of a building that became what is today the Quadrangle , The government of this dormitory is administered wholly by the students living there. A committee of faculty advisers serves to connect the organization with the administration. Ac- cording to the constitution drawn up early in the year, the administrative bodies of the Quad- rangle consist of a general council, composed of one elected chairman and four section chairmen. Judicial, health, financial, and social committees are formed within the general council. In addition, four resident students are appointed by the administration to act as proctors. The Quadrangle Association as formed, includes all who reside at the dormitory, and numbers among its members students from every school and college on the campus, ranging from freshmen to post-graduates. It is interesting to note that Iowa is the first state institution in the Middle West to introduce a dormitory system for the housing of men. The introduction of the Quadrangle marks the birth of an entirely new institution on Iowa's campus, one that will ultimately play an important part in the activities of the student body.
