BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS The Board of Publications functions as a policy and advisory board for the TU Collegian, campus news- paper, and the Kendallabrum, year- book. It is both an editorial and financial guide to these two publi- cations. Its membership is composed of Prof. Ed Johnson, journalism department head; George Churchill, TU public relations director; C. I. Duncan, TU treasurer; Prof. T. W. Coover, business school; George Ev- erett, Collegian editor; Pete Theus, Kendallabrum editor; Kenny Wil- liams, Collegian Business manager; Veda Johnson, Kendallabrum busi- ness manager, and Shirley Young, secretary of the board. CAMPUS WELFARE COMMITTEE The Campus Welfare Committee is charged with directing all campus improvement projects, conducting the Council ' s investigations, coordi- nating the Campus Chest Drive, assemblies, supervising the selection of nominees for Who ' s Who, and working out programs designed in the best interests of the campus com- munity. Under the new committee system, it replaces the old Council Projects committee. It was headed the first semester by Naydene Kel- ley. Following her January gradu- ation, the post was filled by newly- elected Mary Lee James. Main project of The Student Council has been the Varsit) Show, produced each year by stu- dents, written, acted and directed by students. Funds from this show allow creation of scholar- ships which are awarded in the name of the council to students on basis of scholarship and service to the campus community. This year ' s show was written by Nancy Watts and Dick Phenneger and directed by Hal Hamilton. Left, Gretchen Basore, Dick Short and Dal Wertz- berger ponder the value of a goose-egg sized diamond ... all a part of the plot ... as was Sleepy Laguna, an ecdysiast of sensational appeal.

The old Com- munity (Council was replaced by a streamlined Student Council composed of seven students and two faculty members. More power and responsibility for council functions w as placed in each individual committee and the student council itself assumed a policy-makini; role. I ' nder the leadership of President Louis Limtlc|uist, the new- committee s stem was mold- ed into a workable unit and a new set of b -laws was adopted. Student government took a new lease on life. Among the earliest achieve- ments of the new council was sponsorship of the annual student mixer which official- ly opened the Student Activi- ties Building. With the help of its various committees, the Council successfully promo- ted pep-rallies, parades, vic- tor} ' celebrations and all school dances held during the football season. Other proj- ects included varsity night, Talahi Day, Dr. Pontius ' birthday party, and sponsor- ship of several assemblies. As the ear drew to a close, the 1950 - 1951 Student Council stepped aside, leaving to its successor the task of further strengthening the role of stu- dents in campus affairs.
