Student Council COMMITTEES A balanced social program bringing into use the extensive facilities of the College by all students has been the objective of the Committee on Social Life headed by Frederick Feldman. The Curriculum Committee, of which Phil Connell was chairman, is made up of several students selected at large to- gether with representatives from each honorary or- ganization. John Forest Charles and Mary Jean Landgraf were the members of the Calendar Com- mittee which issued a weekly program of regular and special meetings on the campus. Tutor Ticklers, a vaudeville of student talent under student direction, was sponsored by the Student Council. Another major activity of the Council is the planning and execution of the Honor Day ceremo- nies in cooperation with the Men's Union and the Women's League. The constitution of the Council has been rewritten this year to permit the reorganization of the Student Council to more adequately fit the needs of a chang- ing campus and student body.

HINSHAW TRUNNELL CROSS BURCH TELLEEN f V v i 7 mw i ADAMS ANDERSON GRABER SLOAN ARVIL HINSHAW . . WAVA TRUNNELL . MARY JEANNE ADAMS LESLIE BURCH . . . President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer Under the direction of the Student Council and through a program supported by them, student government at Iowa State Teachers College has reached a new goal. The Council's activities have been many and varied. To assist it in carrying out its broad social, educational, and governmental programs, it has selected six permanent committees to work under its supervision. Richard Halliburton, world renowned adventurer, lecturer, and writer, was brought to the campus in October under the sponsorship of the Committee on Lectures and Entertainment. In February, stu- dents and faculty were again fortunate in having the same committee secure Rudolph Ganz, president of the Chicago Conservatory of Music and famed pianist. Randall Hartlieb was the chairman of this committee and was assisted by Lois Bragonier and Don Baldwin. In an effort to bring some uniformity in method and to have a central authority for election disputes, the Student Council chose Ralph Smith to organize the Committee on Elections. The Committee has conducted extensive investigations into solutions for election problems. The first election supervised by the committee was the Beauty contest at the invitation of the officers of the OLD GOLD. The Committee on Curricular Activities headed by LeNora Dippel performed an important part of the entire program in making an early study of freshman interests. This was only one phase of this committee's work as it continued the classification of officers on the campus and conducted an extensive investigation preparatory to chartering worthwhile organizations.

Women's League, the organization for all women on the campus, has been very active the past year. In addition to its regular work of orientation, laboratory work in various types of social usage, tradi- tional social events, leisure hours, and a series of vocational dis- cussions, Women's League has carried out a great number of other projects. It established a Bartlett Hall Council Senate and an Off-campus Council Senate for carrying out the social regulations which were the outgrowth of study by various committees of Women's League. A Women's League Conference was held on the campus March 13, at which representatives from the women's self-governing associations of various colleges and universities of Iowa were present. Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, head of the Institute of Women's Professional Relations, Greenshore, North Carolina, and Miss Bess Johnson, Principal of the Smouse Opportunity School, Des Moines, were the speakers. The conference, the theme of which was Self-Realization Is My Goal , was the culmination of several months of intensive study. During this preparatory period, Dr. Harold Bosley, Dr. Dorothy Humiston, and Dr. H. A. Riebe, all of the College, and Miss Ethel Kawin, of the laboratory schools at the University of Chicago, cooperated in the preparation of the program. Page 28
