Self-Gov‘t Stresses
Individual Effort
And Responsibility

Every undergraduate in the col-
lege is a member of Student Gov-

ernment and its—policies, regula-

tions and administration are form-
ed and directed by students.” Its
uniqueness lies in the lack of: fac-
ulty supervision and the total re-
sponsibility assumed by _ under-
graduates.

This government operates
through the permission-givers, a
large group of students appointed
by hall presidents on the basis of
individual responsibility who sign
students out and aid the hall presi-
dents .in carrying out hall regula-
tions. The actual administration
of they, organization rests on the
Advisory Board, which consists of
hall presidents, and the Eexcutive
Board, which decides whether cor-

specific cases, interprets the rules,
and guides policy for the campus
as a whole.

The president of Student Gov-
ernment conducts the meetings of
the Advisory Board and the Exec-
utive Board. She is a member of
the Undergraduate and the College
Councils. She has the power to
use any means which she sees fit
to make the rules known to the
association. It is her duty to call
together and preside over any
meetings of the Association.

The Advisory Board turns in the
signing out sheets and reports any
offenses which have occurred dur-
ing the week to the president. She
interviews the student concerned
and makes a full investigation of
each case in order that the Execu-
tive Board may make a fair judg-
ment of the situation. Any deci-
sion is made only with the agree-
ment of every member of the
Board, and each case must be re-
considered if an appeal is made.

The Student Government Asso-
ciation was founded in 1892 on the
principle that Undergraduates
were capable of directing their
own behavior. Intelligent, adult
behavior and submission to major-
ity decision have been character-
istic of the orgafization since its
formation.

League Directs
Social Services

Responsibility for social services
on campus is\in the hands of the
Bryn Mawr League. The League
Board, which integrates the vari-
ous functions of the organization,
is composed of a president, a sec-
retary, representatives of the
freshmen, sophomores, non-resi-
dents and graduate students, a
publicity director, and the chair-
men and assistant chairmen of va-
rious committees.

One of the chief activities of the
League is running a summer camp
on the New Jersey shore for under-
privileged Philadelphia children.
Three groups of campers come for
two weeks each. It also arranges
to have Bryn Mawr students read
to the blind at the school in Over-
brook.

The League is in charge of all
Red Cross activities on campus.
This includes dancing and arts and
crafts work at Valley Forge Gen-
eral Hospital. The organization
also sends an undergraduate each
summer to work at the Hudson
Shore Labor School.

Also under the League is the
‘very active Maids’ and Porters’
Committee, which arranges for
their classes, their annual play and
dance, and their Christmas. carol-

Undergrad is Contact
Between Students,

Administration

One of the main purposes of Un-
dergrad is to serve as a channel of
contact between the student body
and the members of the Admin-
istration, Faculty and Alumnae;
and in this capacity it informs both
parties of the opinions and the re-
actions of the other.

Every Undergraduate is auto-
matically a member of the Under-
graduate Association. The author-
ity of this organization is vested in
the President and seven members

The Association also serves as



a co-ordinating element in campus
activities. Hereby, all activities
except those which fall in the spe-
cific fields of the League, the Alli-
ance and the A. A. are provided
for and supervised by Undergrad.
Lantern Night and Mayday ar-
rangements, Dances and movies
are thus taken care of by the or-
ganization.

The finances of the Association
are administered by the Common
Treasurer, who supervises most of
the paid jobs on campus, such as
the positions of Payday Mistress,
Hall Announcer and head of Lost
and Found. Student dues provide
the salaries.

All Clubs are chartered and un-
der the auspices of Undergrad.
These include three language clubs,
French, Spanish and German
Clubs, the Chorus, the Varsity
Players Club, the Science Club and
the Stage Guild, as well as the
Art and Modern Dance Clubs.

Helped by her vice-president,
Undergrad’s President appoints all
Committeé heads (with the excep-
tion of the Curriculum Committee,
whose head is chosen by the other

members of her organization).
These committees include the
Freshman Committee, the Cut

Committee, the Vocational Com-
mittee and the Point Committee,
the Record Library, the Furniture
Sales and the Ushering Commit-
tee. Undergrad sees that they are
active, progressive and efficient.
