kept after you for your organizationis treas- ury records were the official Auditing Com- mittee, Jack Meredith and Ken Kopia. Mere- dith also took over Betty Racineis job as Ring Chairman. Beside their usual work of supervising Freshman Rules, condolences, and such, this year the Council made some particularly fine contributions. They more than ten-fold in- creased our customary Red Cross donation by assessing each and every campus organi- zation one dollar. They requested and re- ceived a new door for Old Main, thus elimi- nating much of the previous trafIic conges- tion. Clever keep-oH-the-grass signs were placed in appropriate spots about the cam- pus in preparation for the glamour of Spring Week. The Spring Choir concert sponsored by the Council was a great success. Traditionally, the Council met With the faculty this spring for their annual session. As always, a helpful discussion ensued.

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!

THE Gazette EDITORIAL BOARWthey keep us posted The Gazette was in its thirty-sixth year in September of last semester and in most able hands. Bob Banks was at the helm and oHered a series, as he had the previous spring, of weekly editions that proved to be well- accepted by his reading public. Bob showed his freedom of imagination in every issue. There were dull spaces in the collegets life, to be sure, but that never stopped him even though he threatened to publish the first chapter of Genesis. Week after week a new, different and interesting Gazette was published. On his staff Bob had some of the most capable assistants an editor could ask for. The venerable threebeKurtz, Smith and Meredith-showed up regularly to see the how and why of the task and to help as they could. Those Tuesday afternoon sessions were very interesting and between jokes the boys somehow put out a paper. If things got Elgbty-fu'o too serious, Big Jackb Wilson would step in to bellow out his cheerful salutation, Bahhh, BoysV, No, never could it be said that the Gazette wasn,t published in a friendly spirit.
