Holds Organizational Meeting Duties Include Taking Notes1 At AllSessions Senior class secretary Joan Bee- man's notebook is well-filled with the minutes of the meetings of the literary college senior class offi- cers and other members of the board. These minutes hold a record of the many activities of the class, in which Miss Beeman has had-a helping part. * * * HER DUTIES as secretary in- clude sending postcards to senior members reminding them to at- tend meetings, being present at all of them and working on all senior class functions, as well as taking minutes at each meeting. From this she feels that she "has really accomplished some- thing." This year the senior board has worked to include more students in senior class activities. Officers from the other schools and colleges at the University com- bined with the literary college board in presenting the annual Senior Ball, which was held in March. * *.* "ORGANIZATION of the senior class at other colleges and uni- versities is different than ours," Miss Beeman said. They have on- ly one president over all the vari- ous schools. Here each school has a presi- dent. This makes the committee bigger but there is more represen- tation." However, Miss Beeman has ** * # By NAN REGANALL An idea of the problems faced by women on the national political scene can be gained from a .look through the eyes of some of the women who ran for Student Leg- islature at the recent campus elec- tions. Women candidates were amazed at the disadvantages they encoun- tered in the elections, but 9,11 is not dark for they admit that in some ways this is a woman's world. * * * DURING THE campaign, coed candidates for SL state that they encountered the attitudes of "it's nice for women to run for SL" and "it's cute for a woman to enter this 'popularity contest' " but very seldom were they taken seriously. When giving their platforms before student groups, some of the women found that their main objective had been one of gaining respect as efficient leg- islators. In order to do this, the feeling that women are merely running for the sake of getting their pic- tures and names before the eli-., gible males on campus had to be eliminated. ACCORCDING TO the women, men running for SL need only to prove their efficiency without eli- minating any such prejudices. Sue Popkin, '54, one of the nine women out of a total of 22 elected to SL, states that women on Student Legislature have the same disadvantages that they have anywheremin what is thought to be a man's world. Women are thought to be well- qualified to be secretaries and committee chairmen, but when they aspire to any really high posts, they are not taken serious- ly. Ending on a little higher and more optimistic note, Miss Popkin concludes that it really isn't so bad when women can stand around and direct as the men carry the heavy boxes, move desks or run to the other side of town on an errand. The weaker sex also found it to their advantage during cam- paigning. While the men became harrassed seeking a printer whose prices were within reason, women merely went to any printer, smil- ed charmingly and walked away with a gross of posters at whole- sale price. In spite of the difficulties and attitudes encountered by women Student Legislature candidates, they aren't discouraged from try- ing their hand at politics. It can be an enlightening experience for both men and women when work- ing together for common goals of the student body.

Not only is the Voters' League open to all coeds but it is also free of any financial burdens such as weekly dues. The League of Women Voters was founded in 1922 by Women Suffrage Leaders to educate wo- men in voting procedures. The member organization consists of threelevels: local, state and na- tional. The primary interest of the Wo- men's League is in government ac- tivities such as acting on legis- lation to be passed and carrying out laws that have been passed. Outside projects receive no at- tention from the League unless the government is directing the project. League Library Adds New Books A gift of six new books has been made by the Blodgett fund to the League Library. The books include "Undermining the Constitution" by Thomas Nor- ton, "God and Man at Yale" by William Buckley, "Retgrn of Adam Smith" by George Mont- gomery, "Design for War" by Fred Sanborn and "America's Second Crusade" by William Chamberlin.
