STUDENT CO Inaugurates During a hectic year, the Student Council has rapidly moved toward realization of an admirable goal — the cleansing of student elections, long a disturbing element on the campus. Another noteworthy accomplishment sponsored by the Student Council this year was the convention of student governing bodies of the Big Six Schools. At this convention common prob- lems were discussed. For the benefit of the heads of extra-curricular organizations, the coun- cil sponsored a meeting on parliamentary procedure and the fundamentals of leading meetings. In order to help orientate the freshmen in student ac- tivities, the council conducted several meetings for freshmen on extra-cur- ricular activities. Currently the council is interested in a student activities card which will be a combination ticket to athletic, dramatic, and Student Union activities, and including subscriptions to some of the publications. As the student governing body for all university students, the council approves and controls all student activities and elections. Eight of the thir- ty-three members who comprise the council are seniors who were on it the previous year. From these holdover members, the officers are chosen. [26]

AG EXECUTIVE BOARD Sponsors Ag Mixers Although the Ag Executive Board was recognized as the active student governing body of the College of Agriculture on March 20, 1929, it began functioning under the constitution and by-laws adopted by the student body of the College of Agricul- ture December 17, 1935. Having its primary function similar to that of the Student Council for the entire school, the board func- tions as the student governing body on the Ag campus. It acts OS an aid in the guidance of other student organizations there, with the responsibility for the immensely popular Ag Mixers resting in its hands. The aim of the group is to function as the senior board on the Ag Campus with particular reference to campus activities and social functions, without usurping the au- thority of the present organizations. Since its inception, the Ag Executive Board has been ex- tremely successful in the performance of its duties. It has been active in guiding and upholding various campus traditions pop- ular with the students. Among the annual accomplishments are the successful staging of the Farmer ' s Formal, the Christmas pro- gram for Ag students, and the Ag Spring Party. The Ag Execu- tive Board has complete charge of one of the outstanding social functions of the Ag Campus, the presentation of the Queen at the Farmer ' s Formal. Membership of the organization includes one representative from the Col-Agri-Fun Board, one from the Farmer ' s Fair Board, the two Ag College representatives on the Student Council, and three men and three women from the student body.
