All women students, for such
a time as they are registered in
the College, are subject to the
rules and regulations of the
Women’s Student Government
Association.
Up to 1915, government of
women was under the care of the
faculty, but in that year WSGA
was formed, operating through a
council which was superseded in
1920 by the House of Representa
tives and the Senate. The Asso
ciation now is composed of the
Freshman Council, Junior Serv
ice Board, and Judicial Commit
tee, in addition to the Senate and
House.
Members of the Senate, the ex
ecutive body, include the presi
dent, vice-president, secretary, ;
;reasurer, senior senator, two
unior senators, a sophomore
senator, two freshman senators
and a town senator. Members with <
non-voting power are Daily Col
legian representative, Judicial
Committee chairman, president of
the Panhellenic Council and the
Dean of Women. This body meets
weekly.
Senate members are elected by
popular vote of the women stu
dent body each Spring. The Senior
Board and the president of Sen
ate compose a nominating com
mittee which chooses nominees
for the prospective offices.
These are brought before the
entire women student body at a
mass meeting and any additional
names can be added to the slate
at that time. Members of Senate
must have at least an 1.5 all-col
lege average, and no dean’s rec
ord. The president must have
served on the Senate one previous
year.
The House is composed of the
vice-president of the Association
and the president of each upper
class dormitory unit. The advis
ory member is a representative
from the Dean of Women’s office.
This body meets at least twice
monthly at which time any ques
tions or ideas from the girls may
be brought up via their dormitory
presidents.
Judicial Committee hears the
defense of women students re
ported for breaking regulations
set up by WSGA and penalizes
them accordingly if found guilty.
It is composed of two representa
tives from each class who are
apointed by the Senate for four
year terms.
Among its many activities
WSGA is sponsoring “Pop-in-
Nights” for the purpose of ac
, quainting the new sophomores
’ with the upper-classmen. On a
Sunday night, the date to be an
nounced later, the upperclassmen
will “pop-in” on the sophomores,
and the following Sunday the
sophomores will return the visit.
During the college year, WSGA
holds an annual clothing drive for
Europe’s needy children, a Christ
mas Drive for welfare benefits,
supervises the May Day activities,
presents a dance, and suports the
Orientation Week plans.
Senate members for this year
i include Suzanne Romig, presi
dent; Janet Lyons, vice-president;
) Vicky Gillespie, secretary; Terry
Klosterman, treasurer.
