We have defined our purpose, explained the setting, and introduced the characters. These characters must do something and it is in this section that we attempt to show what goes on during any college year. The extra curricular activities are a fundamental part of Upsala. It is in these clubs, organiza- tions and publications that we express our own interests and develop new ones. No one can feel that his college life is complete with- out a generous participation in activities of a non-academic nature. The extra curricular calendar is full. There is some event sche- duled for almost every night of the school year, and We have been known to hold as many as three meetings in one evening. Every type of interest is represented, and it is in these informal meetings with fellow students and professors that we learn to ex- press ourselves and apply in practice what we have learned in theory. Many new clubs were organized this year including an Arts Forum and History Club, a club for those interested in Radio and in Horseback riding. There indeed seems to be a club for everyone and every occasion on campus. It is amazing how much time and work go into the activities of a club. Each member who does not contribute falls by the wayside. But most club members are con- stantly in a state of momentum which carries their respective organizations along in rapid pace. Much work, enjoyable and useful, is accomplished and the fields of endeavor are wide. For those interested in religious activities, the ranks of the Lutheran Studentsl Associa- tion, the Mission Society and the Christian Brotherhood are open. There, the earnest endeavors of spiritual attitudes go hand in hand With pleasant get-to-gethers. The exact sciences are represented by the Mathematics Club, the Mathematics honorary society, Kappa Mu Epsilon, the Radio Club, and the Science Club. Here, the students juggle beakers, wires and figures. The Psychology Forum is a hybrid, made up of Psych majors. It has the complexion of scientific research and the purpose of social betterment. There is more work than play in this organization. Along social scientific lines we have Symposium, the His- tory Club, and the Junior Guild. For intel- lectual pursuits we point to the Girls, Forum, the newly-founded Arts Forum and English Literary Society, all of which discuss either books or art and usually both. The greatest noise is evidenced by the forensic groups, the Debate squad and Tau Kappa Alpha. The teams do not only shout at fellow Upsalans but travel all over the eastern seaboard to condemn 0r indorse some current policy. Of course, there are the language clubs. Parlez-vous frangais? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? or Spanish or Swedish or Italian? If you do you will find your fellow linguists in the Circle Frangaise, Circulo Cervantes, or the Italian club. The Swedish Folk Dance Society supplies an old world charm to many of our ochial festivities. From dancing to acting is but a step, and the Footlight Club keeps us oc- cupied in our seats before a world of boards. For publicity purposes we have the Press Club which collects all the clippings and tells the newspapers about our activities. And the Economics department has not only blessed us With an Economic Club but also With a brain child-a co-operative organiza-- tion called Seca, formed and controlled by' students. They sell emblems, pennants, writ- ing paper and pencils. Prohts from these sales go toward the Endowment Fund. We, the students, are the mainstays of all of these organizationseand we havenit even mentioned half of them-and it is upon our' shoulders that their success rests. We again: attempt to double you.

Down with the gavel and on With the meeting! President Banks takes over, and the Student Council swings into action. These are our representatives who man- age school affairs and, t0 the best of their ability, responsibility of government. These are the problem solvers of the campus. The Big Fourfi student leaders for the year 1940-41, have been Robert Banks, President; William Anderson, Vice Presi- dent; Gloria Masom, Secretary; John Mere- dith, Treasurer. These manipulators of college activities have much to keep them busy. This year Gloria Masom and Grace Saslow kept the Gold U records, a traditional Council duty. Isadore Vallorani, with the aid of his com- Eighty u THE BIG FOURn- Masom, Meredith, Banks, Anderson mittee members, very competently planned the student chapel programs. We all exhib- ited our talents this year for the sake of other Friday-chapel-goers. We had a jam session, a song-fest, accordion-playing, a quiz program and the like. One Friday Bill Frey entertained us With one of his own inimitable hand-is-quicker-than-the-eye magic demonstrations. And whoever wit- nessed a cuter Santa Claus than swing and swayli Marty Freedman? Al Ramstead certainly made a fine Pep Rally Chairman; it,s going to take a lot of blaze to beat that first bonfire! Bill Ander- son and Eric Grahn saw to it that all elec- tions were carried off on schedule and ac- cording to Hoyle. Those little men that
