The Boys' Dormitory Self-Government Association HE boys living in the dormitories are proud of the fact that they are able to govern themselves. This is shown by the good behavior and fine co-operation of each student. Each dormitory has its own group of officers, who are elected at the beginning of each term. They include a president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer and a monitor for each floor. It is the duty of the officers to see that the rules of the dormitory are upheld and to act as representatives between the faculty and students. The real object of this form of government is to permit the boys living in the dormitories to participate in the making and executing of the different laws and rules of the dormitories, as well as appointing their own officers. Therefore the success of the Association depends on the co-operation that is given the officers and monitors by the boys living in the different halls. Each fall and winter terms the boys 'have Open House to which all students, relatives and faculty members are invited. After -the guests have been shown through the different rooms, they are taken to the Club room where a program is given and refreshments are served. A The boys in the dormitories, by donating small sums of money and selling candy bars, were able to raise enough money to take care of -five needy families at Christmas -HARRY NELSEN.

The Gopher Literary HE Gopher Literary is one of the finest and largest literaries on the campus. It was organized in 1899 and has held regular meetings ever since. During the school year of 193 0-1931 this literary received the Union Cup, that is presented each year to the literary putting on the best type of programs and having the highest percentage of paid up members. The programs consisted of formal and informal debates, readings, vocal and in- strumental numbers, group singing, jokes and a newspaper. Entertainment Committees were appointed, who were responsible for new games to be played after the programs. This year the Gophers were fortunate in having two of their members on the Livestock Judging team. They were Milton Swenson and Goodwin Sonstegard. This literary was also well represented in debate, athletics and other activities of the School of Agriculture. It is the aim of the society that each member shall take part in a program once each term. This experience is invaluable to the student in later life. During the year many old members come back, and they agree that the meetings of the old Gopher Literary are among the most cherished memories of their school days. -ELMER SOEHREN.

The Girls' Dormitory Self-Government Association HE Girls' Self-Government Association is an organization of which every girl in the dormitory is proud to be a member. At the beginning of each fall term the officers for the year are elected. The president is chosen from among the senior girlsg the vice president, from among the juniorsg and the secretary-treasurer, from the freshmen. Each term five girls are elected as monitors to serve as members of the house committee. lt is the duty of these girls to see that the rules and by-laws of the organization are observed and to check the girls in their rooms at seven and ten o'clock. However, it is the duty not only of the monitors and officers to see that the rules are observed but of every girl in the dormitory. The rules, if not satisfactory to the girls, may be changed by a two-thirds vote of the association and the approval of the Advisory Committee of the School. The association not only acts as a governing organization but also sponsors many social activities such as Open House Tea, Get-Acquainted Parties for the new girls, and Sunday Evening parties for both boys and girls. The girls appreciate the advantages they have in being members of an organization of their own, in which they can voice their opinions and feel their responsibility in making the dormitory seem like home to all the girls. -ALMA JOSEPI-ISON.
