JEANIE. JONES President, WSGA The Women ' s Student Government Association is a self-governing composed of every woman student on the campus. It is headed by an Executive Council composed of one appointed representative from each class. The Womans ' Student Government Association works in whole-hearted cooperation with the Dean of Women, and all administrative officials to enforce the ob- servance of all University policies and regulations. A House Council is elected in each dormitory. These councils, composed of a president, secretary-treasurer, and two elected representatives from each of the floors in the dormitory, with the help of the Judicial Council, are responsi- ble for the enforcement of dormitory and social regulations. These rules are subject to change, with the approval of the Dean of Women, by a Legislative Council made up of dormitory and sorority house presidents and secretaries. The President ' s Council, composed of dormitory and sorority house presidents, meets once a week with the WSGA President to discuss common problems. The Womens ' Student Government at Ole Miss is a member of the Inter-Collegiate Association of Student Governments and also of the Inter-Collegiate Association of Women Students.

Many are the worries that beset the editor and staff of the 1961 OLE Miss from its beginning to its completion. Trouble began as early as October when the photographers arrived to make the class pictures. Naturally most of the students had forgotten about the appointments which they had made during registration and, in spite of repeated re- minders via the campus radio, loudspeaker, and newspaper, proceeded to wait until the last week. The mob scene that ensued on the third floor of the Y Building resulted in the editor receiving several very nasty letters. Next on the headache list is the Parade of Favorites. Since no one on the staff had ever put on a pageant of this sort before, it was really an experience for all. Adding to the problems was the fact that a new method for selecting the beauties was being tried. (Five judges were chosen for this purpose instead of the old method of a secret student committee and a movie star.) As it turned out, this system was so satis- factory that a bill was put through the Campus Senate establishing it as the standard procedure for years to come. However, shortly after the Parade someone pointed an accusing finger at the annual staff and in came the second barrage of vicious letters. The remainder of the year is a tale of rushing to take pictures and write copy, and of staving up all night before deadlines. The older staff members were used to these chores and the newer ones caught on fast. By working together as a team, they were able to overcome the obstacles and produce the yearbook. Without this team there would have been no OLE Miss. And the editor? Well, he has a good case of stomach ulcers but is very glad it ' s all over.
