LL-U COUNCIL Student representatives from Maine to California were present this year when the All-U council played host to the National Student Federation of America. Guest speaker: none other than friendly, well-traveled Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Usual yearly work for the council includes super- vision of the rowdy, colorful Homecoming paradeg selection of pretty coeds as button salesmen. It sup- ports Snow Week, snow or no snow, and sponsors the always-hectic Freshman Week, the Minnesota Foundation and the Charity Ball. The purpose of the council-to help meet student problems-is aptly illustrated by its handling of student affairs in the present war- time situation. Council work for World War II includes a war chest committee which decides on the eligibility of oil-campus organization drives and co-ordinates their activities. Under consideration are a com- pulsory physical edueation program and methods of minimizing social expenses for the duration of the war. Already, the council has elim- inated the hiring of big-name bands, cut down on lavish decora- tions.

AG STLIDE COUNCIL There's a jinx on the Ag Student council presi- dency! The army has robbed the council of two consecutive presidents and VValter Bjoraker, third president, is expecting to be called. Bjoraker, Ag Education junior, finds time to work at the farm library, act as chairman of the honor case commission and take part in the All-U War Ef- forts council, aside from his work as head of the farm campus governing body. Eleven of the nineteen members of the council are men, all of whom work part time while attend- ing the U. Jobs range from soda jerking at the Ag Union to plugging engines at the Ag Engineering lab. High light of the year was the Christmas assem- bly at which the Little Red Oil Can, awarded an- nually for outstanding achievement, was presented to Herb Croom, Ag Education senior. Milton Hamm and Jean C. Hamm were awarded the Ball and Chain as the most recently married couple. The Baby Rattle, given to the faculty member to whose home something new has been added, was claimed by Andrew Downie. Biggest job for the council is acting as clearing house to co-ordinate work between the All-U War Efforts council and the farm campus.
