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

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.

yVlen UNION Men's Union, the organization for all men on the campus, spon- sored for the first time this year a Men's Orientation Program. Features of this program were talks given by President Latham, Dean Reed, and Dr. Bosley; explorations by small groups into the Drama Shop, the Publications, Music, and Science Departments, and the Heat- ing Plant; and general advising by upperclass men. In the fall, a Men's Play Day was held at the Men's Gymnasium. Class supremacy in pie-eating, kittenball, three-legged racing, balloon bursting, wheel-barrowing, sucker-sucking, and peanut racing were the features of the day. Dad's Day, an annual event sponsored by the Men's Union, was held October 31. Approximately five hundred Dads were honored at a luncheon, football game, open-houses, and coffees. Men's Union also helped in planning for Homecoming, which was November 13. A Men's Union dinner was held in the Commons February 4 to aid in establishing closer friendship and loyalty among the men on the campus. May 1 found the Commons the scene of the Farmer's Frolic , the annual Men's Union dance where students frolicked in gingham dresses and overalls.
