Executive Council, consisting of the student body oflicers, and the Student Congress, composed of one representative of each group and the Independents, cooperate as the legislative bodies of the campus. The matters dealt with at their weekly meetings include such things as the Choral Contest, the All College Revue, Homecoming, Athletics, Publicity Improvements, Regulations, and Publications. All problems are brought up in Executive Council and then carried on to the Student Congress so that the students themselves are repre- sented in the actual voting. Also under the jurisdiction of the Executive Council comes the appointment of chairmen of various committees, editor of publications, debate manager and others. The financing of all school activities including athletics comes under the ASWC budget, the funds for which are provided by the students through the purchase of their student tickets. In addition to carrying out the regular campus business, the Exe- cutive Council this year took on some new activities. A new Activities Committee was organized. Its functions included' the posting of a social calendar as a part of the program for coordinating and publicizing carn- pus events. The calendar was brought up to date periodically, and also mimeographed calendars were distributed from time to time in the students' boxes. The Activities Committee also inaugurated a system of an activity file. Students were asked to fill out activity preference lists at the beginning of the year and these were kept on 'hand for reference when committees were being organized. A second program new this year was that for the recruitment of high school athletes. This was one of the main activities of the year. Plans were made for a program to interest athletes and other high school students in the College, and to provide scholarships and other aid to them. This action came after the student body voted to keep inter- collegiate football on the Whitman campus. Officers of the ASWC Executive Council were: Tom Brown, presi- dent, Nancy McKay, first vice-presiclentg Bill Bell, second vice-president, Norma Jeanne Comrada, secretaryg Dr. Hucthings, advisor, and Mr. Santler, graduate manager.
