to the extent of Siioo early in the school year. When the Student Forum leaders, later in the year, found they needed funds on which to continue, the Council paid the amount as agreed. Upon an appeal hy Mr. Duerksen, the student governing hody gave 523 toward the uniforms for the all-girl hand that was organized this year under the direction of the KO. T.C. Hand leader. The plan for free mixers during school hours, which was inaugurated here hy the Student Council two years ago, was continued successfully this year. Varsities, which were inexpensive for the students, attained a new high in attendance this year. Blue Key, honorary scholastic fraternity, asked for Council sanction of their drive for longer final periods: the NVichita Transportation Company asked permission to select a Transportation Queen from the University co-edsg and the Political Science Cluh expressed a desire to affiliate with the national Pi Sigma .-Xlpha organization. Each proposal mentioned here was ap- proved hy the Council. The Visual Education Com- mittee, a faculty group headed hy Dr. Charles I.ane. asked for aid in the purchase of a moving picture projector for the University Auditorium. The aid was granted. The Council also does much of its work through committees who function in cooperation with cor- responding faculty committees. .Xt an early meeting Stanley Diamond was appointed to head the com- mittee on student activities. Douglas Nunn and Cor- rine Bennett were selected to direct the activities of the pep committee. lune lllgner and lileanor Martin were named co-chairmen of the convocations committee, which was made up of class presidents and vice-presidents. Significant in the list of com- mittee appointments was the complete omission of a social committee. lfach Council memher was at some time in the year responsihle for at least one var- sity, and other social functions were directed hy the Council as a whole. Officers of the Council were elected on the Barh- Shocker ticket a year ago, May 14, at the regular all- school election. Besides Mr. Kinsey, others included Ronald Van Welden, vice-president, Mary Evelyn lfrincefield, secretaryg and Alice lane Brown, treasurer. .Xt the first meeting of the school year, Mr. Van XVelden resigned his otlice hecause, according to his statement, he lacked time to do the job well. Following the Student Council election for men's class representatives, on Septemher zg, Stanley School- er, senior memher, was elected to fill the vacancy left hy Mr. Van Walden. Other men's representatives elected at that time were Clark Ahlherg, junior: lack Iackson, sophomoreg and Max Feldner, sophomore. Wonien's representa- tives, who had heen elected mid-year of iobgo-37, were Margaret Branson, senior, lanet Tudhope. iunior: and Betty Hill Romigh, sophomore. Alherta Zimmerman was elected from the freshman class. NVith their period of office terminating at the end of the first semester, the ahove named women were replaced hy Phyllis Powell, senior memherg Katherine Israel, iuniorg and Margaret Craig, sophomore. Miss fim- merman was re-elected hy the underclassmen at the mid-year election.
