STUDENT GOVERNMENT IS
TOPIC AT COUNCIL BANQUET
[Officers, Old AndPine Knots Gives
New, Meet
“ Never before have I bo sin­cerely
commended any student
council on its year’s work,” w it
Dr. Tonney’s conclusion at the
annual Student Body banquet
last Monday evening, given for
the old and new student body
officers in the East Dining Hall.
He pointed out that this admin­istration
is the first one in a
long time to finish the year with
a favorably balanced budget.
At the climax of this year’s
governmental activities, President
Jpe Rolle, toastmaster for the oc­casion,
introduced next year’s offi­cers
for the benefit of the faculty
members present.
The pro^fam was opened *by
Dean Bellwood, who proposed the
setting up of a “ grievance com­mittee,”
or legal way for students
to express their criticisms in a
more constructive fashion than by
bull sessions. The Dean’s statement
was further emphasized by Dr.
Tormey, who pointed out that “so
long as I continue to receive an­onymous
letters of complaint from
the students, there is no real stu­dent
government in this school.”
Dean Lintz spoke on the part
played in campus life by the
women's activities, particularly
those service organizations which
conduct social events for the
whole school. The contribution
of A. W. S. to the school was
recognized for the second time
this year by the Pi Kappa Epsi­lon
award, and the women in­tend
to win it again next year,
stated the Dean.
Returning to the topic of stu­dent
government, Mr. Harless
stated that "it offers an oppor­tunity
for development which can­not
be matched by anything else
on the-campus.” Since the repu­tation
i>f any school depends on
its students, the students must set
up their own standards, and “We
can have democratic government
just as soon as it is in the hearts
of the students lu demand it.”

Expose!
Sometime in the course of his­tory,
women’s organizations came
into being. At one time A. S. T. C.
had a strongly organized Campbell
Hall in desperate rivalry with an
equally united Morton Hall. A
number of pictures on the campus,
and the chiming clock in the li­brary
indicate that these two
groups had a sort of donating
rivalry, and they had plenty of
publicity in their day.
Recently the girls have come
out with an organization which
went in for secrecy, rather than
publicity. Questions were asked
these girls dressed In white
sweaters with “ 14” on the side
and chains around their necks.
The answers were that “ 14” was
their waist measure. But after a
brief glance at Ballard, May,
and Isaacson, it was suggested
that “ 14” was more likely the
shoe Bize. The final conclusion
reached was that it represented
the mental age of the group.
But here is the story.
Every year the W. A. A. has
made its awards at its annual
dinner, and last year the affai:
was enlarged to include all the
women students. The officers of
other women's organizations were
introduced, and the dinner was
^ery successful as a women’s get-

sponsorship of Dr. Mary A. Hill.
Hikers Return
Looking like characters from
“ The Grapes of Wrath,” 35 hikers
returned Sunday night from their
five-day “ long hike” to Havasupai
canyon. They brought back sun­burned
faces, and kodaks filled with
pictures of the waterfalls, the
cliffs, and the shy, friendly In­dians
of Supai.

This year the women decided
to make the affair bigger and
better. It was planned to have a
real Women’s Day, and fourteen
girls were chosen to plan and to
officiate today. The presidents
of each of the ten women’s clubs
on the campus chose representa­tives,
the larger clubs sending
two delegates.
A. W. S. sent Hanna Mae Ewan
and Julia Felshaw; W. A. A. is
represented by Florence Ruff and
Irene Barnes; and Y. W. C. A. by
Margaret Chick and Femith

the following girls: Lambda

Letter Handed To Student Council
Last Wednesday; No
Action Taken
Just :us the Student Council had finished counting the
votes of a special student body election which declared his
re-election valid. President Joe Rolle of the Associated
Students handed in a letter of resignation to the council
at its special meeting last Wednesday evening, thus climax­ing
one of the most turbulent political upheavals this cam­pus
has seen in several years.
No official action has been taken as yet by the council
on the resignation, which was dated April 22, four days
after his re-election, hut was not presented until last Wed­nesday.
GIVES NO REASON
Rolle gave no reason for his resignation, other than in
the letter, in which he stated he was leaving the office for
reasons known only to myself.”
Brewer Ward, who was elected vice president by a
majority of six votes in the same election as Rolle, is next
in line for the presidency, according to constitutional pro­vision.
“ I am sure the students are surprised and some­what
shocked at Joe Rolle’s resignation,” Ward told a Pine
reported in regard to the situation. “We can never forget
the fine work he has done this year and I congratulated
him on his splendid achievements.”
WARD SEES DUTY
Ward will be a junior next year, coming here with the
Class of 1941 in the fall of 1938, but missing a year of
school last year. “When I was elected, I had no idea of
stepping into the president’s chair next year, but it looks
as though it will be my, job, and I am happy, in looking
over next year’s council,' as I am sure they will be a fine
group to work with ancf that we will accomplish much.”
Rolle’s administration of the Associated Students this
year has been commended by bdth students and faculty on
several occasions. It has been said that the student body is
better off financially at the present lime than it has been
in 14 years.

discuss the current delinquencies
of the women students and ap­point
each other on committees
to work on whatever social event
is in the offing. After these job-assignments,
there is often a re*

Frosh Councilors
Are Chosen
Ten senior women, whose names
are to be announced at tonight’s
program, will be chosen by the
Dean of Women to act next year
as senior councilors to freshmen.
Heretofore, the freshmen have
been adequately assisted during
registration week and the week
following, but have been practically
neglected the remainder of the
year.
Next fall each senior will have
two sophomores working under her,
and each sophomore will guide two
or three freshmen.
An extensive plan for next year
will be completed before the school
year ends in order to have the proj­ect

Home Girls Keep
Fires Burning
This Year
By LAURA BELLE COCHRAN
The Omicron Kappa Gamma
club under the supervision of
President Delight Power has just
completed one o f the most suc­cessful
years in its history.
The program for the year con-1
sisted -of one business meeting and 1
one social gathering each month.
The majority of the non-social
meetings were devoted to a study
of home life in foreign countries.
While the discussions were given,
the club members sewed, darned,
did fancy needle work or any
needle work that appealed to them,
thus making the meeting of double
value. The most outstanding so­cials
were the Christmas party
around the fire place in Campbell
parlor, a party at the home of
Prof. Bess Chappell, sponsor, a
valentine party and a “kid” party.
The final event of the year will
be a Spanish supper at the Legion­naire
Inn, May 14 at 7 p. m. It
will be a welcoming party for the
new officers and a farewell for
the outgoing officers. Next year's
officers are Laura Belle Cochran,
president: Genevieve Hamblin,
vice-president; Lenore Powers, sec­retary;
Jean Anderberg, treasurer;
Betty Pipes and Myreel Smith,
program chairman. The outgoing
officers who have served this year
are Delight Power, president;
Elizabeth Schmitt, vice-president;
Shirley Hoyt, secretary: Dorothy
Webster, treasurer; Lillian Winn
and Laura Belle Cochran, program
chairmen.
A. W. S. Considered
A Successful
Organization
By JERRY STILES
The Associated Women Students
was organized in 1932, when Dean
Minnie Lintz decided that the girls
should have self-government. The
constitution was drawn up accord­ing
to a sample from •Corvallis,
Oregon and the name “ Associated
Women Students” was selected to
conform with other college women's
self-governing groups. Olive Mitch­ell
was elected president of the
newly formed organization.
The soundest stock: A stock of
sound common sense.
In the spring o f 1922 Dean
jintz asked delegates ( n a Teape
and Tucson to meet with dele­gates
from Flagstaff in Phoe­nix,
and for the first time Flag­staff
delegates discussed simi­lar
problems with other women
delegates.
At first A. W , S. was reluctant
to do much; it did what was rec­ommended
and no more; but when,
in 1986, Amy Thompson became
president, A. W .'S. began to stand
on its own feet. Amy was reelected
in 1936 and, with a year's experi­ence
behind, she did even more to
help build A. W. S. which became,
ana has remained, • powerful.or­ganization
on the campus.
A. W. 8. has almost exclusive
charge( ooff t< he governing of the
donaitorf.

the original 9:80 on Sunday night
to the present 10:00; quiet hourhas

has been revamped; and many
