' Through planning and executing activities on the campus, the mem- bers of the Community Council are developing leadership and good citi- zenship in preparation for their future work in our democratic society. The keynote of the Council is individual development and social participa- llO1'1. LEFT TO RIGHT: Bob Blaicher, president, Martha Hudlin, secretary, Ed Spearing, vice-president The Community Council was form- ulated in April, 1942, from a student council type of government into a campus community government with both stu- dents and faculty participating to bring about better relationships and cooperation. Membership is comprised of three faculty representatives, one delegate from each Greek organization and twelve or more non-affiliates, independents and off-campus Greeks, based according to percentage of voting by these groups. The president of the Council is elected in an all-school election including both faculty LEFT TO RIGHT: less Chouteau, treasurer, Mary Clay Wil- liams, faculty, Harold Enlows, faculty ag-v-,X and students. Other officers are elected by the Council itself. P After a vigorous election last May, lean Har- mon, last year's president, handed the gavel over to the new president, Bob Blaicher. The other officers for this year were Ed Spearing, vice-president, Martha Hudlin, secretary and less Chouteau, treasurer. A. T. Gibbons suc- ceeded Martha as secretary at the beginning of the second semester, when Martha was forced to drop membership in the Council be- cause of work in school. The Council coordinates all the activities of the campus, and by doing so, has developed a bureaucracy, so to speak. Committees com- prise the machinery for carrying out all the operations. There are three kinds of commit- tees, as set up in the constitution and by-laws of the Council. These committees are standing, special and temporary, all of which are ex- tremely important. The standing committees, however, are the rnost important in the Council, since the chairmen are appointed from the Council members by the president of the Council, and act as the go-betweensu for the Council and the committee. lean Bell, head of the Student Promotions

THIRD ROW-left to right: Pat Morsani, Dan Rogers, Ieane Smith, Ed Spearing, Miss Mary Clay Williams, Kenneth Worrall Committee, successfully brought out school spirit last fall with victory dances, pep assem- blies, bonfires and parades. Ieane Smith capably lead the formulation of future plans for class activities out of pre- vious confusion although there were many difficulties in getting the Class Activities Corn- mittee started. lack Mitchell took over the chairmanship of the Board of Publications for the first semester, resigning when he graduated. Ed Spearing wrestled with the problems of the Student Activities Committee and tried to convince the organizations that their petitions must be passed through his committee before they could be acted upon. Carl Duncan and Iohn Stoops fought short- ages of crepe paper and tried to keep in con- stant touch with the University social calendar so as to give the students the best all-school dances possible. Pat Morsani, chairman of the Assemblies committee found herself faced with the annual problem of the Awards Assembly and the pre- sentation of the scholarship cups, along with other normal assemblies trials. Dan Rogers and Ann Holt pleaded for more money from the Council or school so as to buy new cups for the Intramural Athletic programs. The Council's projects for the year included the annual leadership scholarship, which is given annually to the person on the campus who has shown his outstanding membership in the community, scholastically and in activi- ties. The addition of the bus shelter for the bus stop at 7th, brought many and varied responses, but the Council went right on with its plan to give the students a shelter under which they could wait for the yellow town cars. As a follow-up on last year's Student Confer- ence held on the campus, the Council acted as headquarters for the Southwestern Area. The big news of the year came with the an- nouncement that the Council was reviving the old Varsity Night show, which this year was called New Day, and which had been written by three students on the campus. Planning the all-school social affairs became a major project for the Council as an extreme increase in the enrolment meant more students being served by the Council during the course of the year. Despite criticism by some quarters throughout the year, the Council functioned well and set new records.
