ASSOCIATED MENS STUDENTS Promoting friendship among students is the product of a planned schedule altered to meet the situations in the student body. Who can forget the Flaming W Hike during fall quarter? With vivid memories of the flaming hill- side short years ago, the AMS. successfully experi- mented with fuses and the resulting glow brought many oh's and ah's from the enthusiastic spec- tators. Of special importance this year has been the plan- ning of the transition to a four-year program. A.M.S. realizes the significance of finding activities to sup- plement the studying aspect of school. A.W.S. OFFICERS. Sitting: Elizabeth Peterso-v J«n!ce Kinomoto. Standing: Carole F.jhcr, Kaye MvGarry, Karen Zaygg. Highlighting formal dance affairs, the Asso- ciated Women Students' Preference Ball is the one time of the year that the gals can express their dating desires in choosing the Most Pre- ferred Man. Through A.W.S,, girls can express themselves in many ways. The Songfest, co-sponsored with A.M S., is an excellent opportunity for the musi- cally talented. A.W.S. will experience an enlarged program with the addition of two years. The problem of finding a vehicle of expression for every girl will naturally increase the responsibilities of the A.W.S. council. The purpose of an advanced edu- cation cannot fully be recognized without an organization wherein students may actively par- ticipate, and A.W.S. requires the participation of all girls. 21

The Board of Control, comprised of student body officers, class and committee members, handles the governing duties and settles minor campus problems. Quarterly activities are carefully eval- uated and adjusted to meet student needs. Social problems among clubs were solved and relationships involving various affiliations im- proved considerably as the year progressed. Winter quarter Signpost met some difficulty with club reports on the society page. The Board of Control discussed these problems and attempted to replace the urge to dig other clubs with the desire to report more worthwhile news. A noticeable improvement resulted, changing the attitude of clubs and Signpost as a paper for all the student body. The Board of Control faces many similar problems resulting from the curricular change. With an increase of students, an increase of social activities will add more responsiblity to this governing unit. 20

ELE known for all equality ing. and fair dealing are well Indeed, a consideration in offering all candidates the committee members work- There are many elections throughout the year other than student officer elections, and each requires the same degree of attentive pole sitting. Dance queens, friendliest girl, outstanding sophomore girl, most preferred man, plus all the organizational presidential elections, demand an in- creased efficiency because competition is so keen. AWARDS COMMITTEE Every Wildcat likes to feel that he has contributed to the year's academic achievements; it is the awards com- mittee who decides by careful evaluation which students deserve special recognition. Students appreciate the meaning of a scholastic award and prize each certificate. For this reason, active students who understand fully the difficulty of selecting a few most outstanding are selected as committee members. The results of this committee's evaluations of achievement were an- nounced at the annual awards assembly, conducted during the latter part of spring quarter. 22
