Dr. Bender, Dr. Douglas, and Miss Smith, together with Dean Campbell, ex-officio chairman, and Dean Reed, ex-officio secretary, make up the personnel of the Student Welfare Committee. The purpose of this committee is to consider problems of student life outside the curricular field and to make proper recommendations on all kinds of student activities. A member of the commit- tee meets with the student council and acts as an advisor to that body. ln turn, students from the council or from the student body present problems to the committee for its consideration. The Student Welfare Committee also passes upon arrangements for benefits put on by organizations representing the entire student body. This year's chief project has been the for- mulation of an adequate program for handling extra-curricular finances. Other activities of the Student Welfare Com- mittee are the selection of the student Who's Who, a yearly feature of the OLD GOLD and recommendation of students for the national Who's Who of colleges and universities. dm vm and Qaida Bender, Douglas, Campbell, Reed, Smith Page 27
