Western door of Memorial Building. . .through which class officers pass to hold informal meetings on the sofas before the student-lounge fireplace. Memorial Building still has an air of authority about it, for the Army Air Corps officers have tak- en over the Senate and W.S.G.A. rooms, and the Panhellenic and Inter-Fraternity Councils still meet there.

MlMJOA Udj, Q(Ufje ui4m4 As the men students ' government body, the Senate, despite war curtailments, is very active this year. Since some of last year ' s members were inducted into the Army, the organization adopted the name Senate Associates to distinguish it from the original organization. Some of the present members were elected to substitute for war-absent members. As always, it supervised hazing and stood upon its right to take disciplinary meas- ures against recalcitrant freshmen with the traditional paddle and pond-dunking methods. Blushing boys with girls ' white berets were evidence, also, of the Senate ' s stern justice. The main concern of the Senate, how- ever, is the welfare of the student body and the control of the activities of the men students. In this capacity, it set up a freshman governing board and organized the entire freshman class; as last year, members of the Senate facilitated class voting by carrying the ballots to the dormitories; it appointed the male mem- bers of all campus committees such as the Community Chest, the War Bond Com- mittee, and the Winter Carnival Com- mittee; it supported the Winter Carnival and the Community Chest financially from funds allotted to it as part of the student taxes; it organized informal dances and supplied the college infirmary with magazines. The Senate ' s major objective, this year, is the launching of a post-war construction program solidify- ing the opinions of students, parents, and alumni as to the necessity of constructing several new classroom buildings for such subjects as physics and home economics which at present have classrooms and labs scattered among several buildings. The members of the Senate, who are elected in spring by all male students are, for this year, James Coffey ' 45, President; Frank Jost ' 44, Vice-President; Joseph Kunces ' 45, Secretary; Edward Putala ' 44, Treasurer; Curtis Wilson ' 44; Paul Sussenguth ' 45; Robert Monroe ' 44; Elmer Clapp ' 44. One of the organizations which the Senate governs, but whose members have no direct affiliation with it, is the Maroon Key. Fifteen freshmen are elected to this sophomore honor society shortly before the spring Commencement, by the entire male student body, and become active members as sophomores. The function of the society was to act as hosts to visiting teams at sport games and to visitors at High School Day, and is, therefore, together with such activities, suspended for the duration of the war. The president of the Maroon Key, to which societies similar in function exist at such colleges as Bates, Middlebury, and the University of Connecticut, is Alec Campbell, with the Navy V-12 pro- gram at Trinity College. Women ' s Rights received quite a boost this Spring, when women of ' 45 and ' 46 voted for next year ' s Senate from a slate of all male classmates.
