Every recommendation adopted has been accepted by the fac ulty. So reads the record of the Oregon Normal School student council, which is rounding- out its work for the year. The council holds its meetings twice each month, but when timely issues have arisen special metting-s have been called. Adopting recommendations is not all the council does; it acts upon new student plans suggested by Presi dent Ackerman. The council holds the power to accept or reject, and author ity for the student government is in its hands. The council recently made an inno vation in the daily programme of the school. From 1 until 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon was set aside as a period for student body activities. - Committee meetings on class affairs and athletics get better attention aud now .the stu dent body acts more as a unit, it is be lieved. Formerly it was a common practice to give a party or social dance after the close of the social functions of the student body. Undue stress was placed on the social life after the student activity. To correct this defect the coun cil ordered that no dance be held any evening after a student function. Pure social life for the school is the slogan of the council, and its records show an order passed which held each student personally responsible for his guests at a function of the school. Following are the members of the council: Seniors Ada Hart, of Hood River, president; Edythe Daubner, of Gooding, Idaho; Arnold E. Hall, of Portland; Katherine Gentle, of Mon mouth; Fay Barnes, of Portland; Doro try Bingston, of Oregon City. Juniors Burnice Loyd, of Imbler; Mary Wells, of Alicee; Melba Griffiths, of Heppner; L. A. Enlund, of North Bend. Sopho mores Grace Wilhelm, of Eugene: Emma Hinltle, of Independence. .
