The A. W. S. Board is the governing body of women students of the University of Nebraska. Fourteen members — six seniors, four juniors and four sophomores, comprise the board chosen at an all women ' s election. The local Associated Women Students was recognized as the women ' s governing group in 1915; in 1924 this organization became a member of the Women ' s Self Governing Association and is now represented at the annual na- tional conventions. It is not only the duty of the board to reflect the interests of the women students and to execute their will, but it is its re- sponsibility to establish and maintain high idea ls in matters of conduct. Several noteworthy accomplishments have been made this year. Paramount one is the publication of The Women, a weekly calendar of events for women. Two new units were or- ganized, one on the Ag Campus for all women and the other for upperclasswomen on the City Campus. The All-Activities Mart, successor to the All-Activities Tea, sponsored by the board, is an introduction of the various activity boards to the incoming fresh- men at an informal fall gathering where each organization had a booth and display. To accommodate new activities, the point system was revised. Each spring the A. W. S. presents the Coed Follies which features skits, curtain acts and the presentation of the best dressed girl. Other activities are the sponsoring of Vo- cational Guidance talks, enforcing of A. W. S. rules, selling of N stamps as homecoming advertising, and sponsoring the Ivy Day inter-sorority sing.

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.

. o ' r . - BIZAD EXECUTIVE BOARD Encourages B i z a d Scholarship Everybody has heard about the Bizad Executive Board, but few know its official name, the Executive Council of the College of Business Administration. Under either name the same pur- poses apply for the organization. To represent the student body of the College of Busmess Administration in promoting functions of the college; to represent the student body in its relations with the faculty; and to promote the general welfare of both the col- lege and the student body are the board ' s three purposes. The board also serves as a student council within the college. Annually the board sponsors the Bizad Recognition Banquet honoring those students who have won a high scholarship rat- ing during the preceding year. Ten William Gold scholarship keys are awarded to the sophomores who had the highest aver- ages during their freshman year. Also recognized are those sen- iors elected to Beta Gamma Sigma, bizad senior scholastic hon- orary. Alpha Kappa Psi, Phi Chi Theta, and Delta Sigma Pi pre- sent keys based on excellence of scholarship. Membership of the board consists of two representatives from each of the following: Phi Chi Theta, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Delta Sigma Pi. Two members at large, the dean of the college, and a faculty sponsor complete the board. [301
