FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1949 C^oed Y? . by Commie Keller I " A*' • . ’ Freshman and sophomore wo men’s elections are now over. the term of office has just begun and the mere passing qf the election date should not mark the passing of all thought to the matter. ; WSGA and WRA actually have authority in making rules which govern, the everyday activities of women at the College. The laws passed by these officers are not mere ratifications of ad ministrative decrees or just words printed on a piece of paper. They have substance. .. Consistent gripes in the run ning of women’s government or ganizations and disapproval of rules enacted by WSG and WRA can legitimately be traced back to the one time indifference of voters and to their almost com plete indifference' to WSGA and WRA after election dates. Analysis of all rules passed, in terest and discussion of activities of the two organizations and at tempts to determine the effective ness of the various members of the organizations should become the established precedent of all wo men students whom ordinances, of these groups affect. .Otherwise gripes cannot be legi timate or future elections of some of the same officers valid. Fur thermore a thorough knowledge of the limitations of the rules which may .be passed and of each constitution might be helpful in an analysis of what has been or has hot been accomplished. A whole year of activity re mains for study of this, year’s group and future elections will provide a proving ground for any who may become an advocate of the above.
