campus was the main task of the Committee on Organizations. Don Burch was appointed chairman of this committee. Under the direction of Paul Weaver, the Social Life Committee carried on a survey of students' participation in activities on the campus. The committee is publishing a booklet containing a program of social activities, facilities for recreation, and other valuable information for students of the college. They have also made many recommendations to the Council on what should be done to make this a better campus socially. Tutor Ticklers, the biggest all-student activity of the year, was again sponsored by the Student Council. All funds taken from this production were given to the Student Loan Fund. Aside from these activities the Student Council has been sponsoring all- college dances, cooperating with faculty committees, carrying out a definite social program, and working with other student organizations. This year a new committee was created for the purpose of coordinating all freshman orientation programs on the Campus. This committee will be headed by Joe McPherson who will begin active work with the freshmen next fall as soon as registration for the term is completed.

Using four of the six committees from the previous year, the Student Coun- cil began to work on elections, organizations, social life, and various other problems of student government. For the first time in history, elections were conducted during registration for the spring term. This program was conducted by the elections committee headed by Andrew Roeder. Plans are being made to carry out this same program for the elections of coming years.

Hughes Third Row: Jensen, Miner, Trefzger Men's Union, the only organization at Teachers College to which every man is accorded membership, was headed this year by Randall Hartleib. Hartleib was elected to that office at the end of the spring term during 1937. At the same election, men students chose Harold Church, George Hughes, and Davis Natvig to the positions of Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. Noel Bacon was elected as the senior representative, and Ed Trefzger and Bernard Hughes were picked to represent juniors. Paul Miner was given the office of sophomore representative. At the beginning of the Fall Term the freshman voters placed Milo Jensen on the executive board to represent them. The executive board controls the organization, plans and works out the program for the coming year. During the year the freshman orientation pro- gram was probably the most important activity, and was carried out during the fall term to provide programs for freshmen, designed to help new men become adapted to college life, and to learn to live a more successful life while in college. During the fall term a Men's Union dance was sponsored, and a Men's Union play night took the spot-light of the winter term. Active in all college activities, Men's Union plays an important part in the program of student government by cooperating with the Student Coun- cil and the Women's League in nominating new members for the Council, and in making recommendations for the furthering of an active campus program.
