The well-liked House President, whose endless duties include checking the permission slips, blinking the lights at five minutes til twelve on Saturday night, scolding the dates for bringing her girls in late, and trying to make house meetings as short as possible, is o ei bud s big sister. She reminds us about the honor policy and the penalty for breaking rules. She worries with us and about us, gives advice on teachers and courses, and finds the night watchman when a fuse is blown. The things she does are really too numerous to list, but every WC-ite realizes and appreciates them beyond words. It wouldn ' t be college without dorm life and dorm life wouldn ' t be complete without House Presidents! W.
