The Student Council The Student Council also serves as a clearing ground for student suggestions and sponsors such events, beside those already mentioned, as the annual Dad ' s Day, held during the football season and the Coffee Hours, held approximately once a month in the faculty clubroom. The Coffee Hours are planned jointly by faculty member Paul Beck and by a representative of the Student Council and have included, this year, talks by David Goitoin, the minister to the United States from Israel, members of the fac- ulty and discussions by student panels. Oh yes, Mr. Goitoin gave a fascinating talk that day. The Student Council president for 1952-53 was Ray Hampton and the vice- president, Merlyn Fratt.

Joe College ' Dance Two new innovations showed themselves on OU ' s campus the night of the Joe College dance. The annual event, sponsored by the Feathers, women ' s pep organization, was the first dance held on the front steps of the admin- istration building. Hungry appetites were satis- fied after the dance by the first pizza feed which was held in the shack. Highlight of the evening was the crowning of Joe College during the dance intermission. Don West, 6 foot 1 Theta Chi, was the tenth Joe College to be picked at OU. He was crowned with a red baseball cap by Mrs. Mary Padou Young. All girls present at the dance were en- titled to vote. Lights were strung across the steps and at- tached to the building ' s wings. Music was by record via an amplifying system. West- Joe College First dance on the steps Before After 18
