membership running until the next an
nual convention, to be held at the same
time next year at E. C. T. C. in Green
ville.
Many topics relating to student gov
ernment were discussed at the conven
tion. Complete student government as
distinguished from faculty control was
discussed and the honor system was
given much attention. Methods of deal
ing with disciplinary problems, with the
emphasis on student education on cam
pus problems rather than restrictive
action on the part of the student af
fairs board, were discussed.
Dr. R. 11. McDonald, a member of
the state legislature, made a brief ad
dress on state legislation now pending.
The Federation decided to send a
traveling committee to visit a number
of colleges and investigate the varying
conditions prevailing, with primary at
tention to the tyjie and authority of
the student governments.
The Federation voted to invite the
North Carolina Press Association to
meet with them at the annual conven
tion to be held at Greenville next year.
The majority of the members pres
ent at the convention this year were

men, but there are intimations of an
intriguing rat court. All freshmen are
encouraged quite strongly to attend.
Those on the committees for the pic
nic are: Program committee, Robert
Poole, Walter Mickle, A. B. Blanton,
and Betsy Bulla; food committee,
Mable Buckner, Millie Glisson, Milton
Cullipher; financial committee, J. C.
Bradshaw, Lillian Hfell, Thomas
Miller, Ruth Newlin.
Those on the Junior-Senior commit
tees are: Daryl Kent, chairman of the
.whole affair; entertainment committee,
Prances Alexander, chairman, Herbert
Montgomery, and Helen Stilson; deco
rations committee, Marvin Sykes, chair
man, Colum Sehenck, Naomi Binford,
and James Pulp; committee on finances
and food, Aubrey Ainsley, chairman,
Louise Ward, and Alma Lollar.
This is one of the biggest and most
