roups An opportunity to work with others toward a common goal characterizes Marshall's wide variety of social and interest groups ... student government PRESIDENT PHILIP CLINE The Marshall College Student Government is similar to that of the United States Government in that it is composed of three branches-the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. It repre­ sents all members of the Student Body and provides an instrument which makes it possible for all students to have a voice in campus affairs. Among its many worthwhile activities are the awarding of four scholarships each year to deserving students, the sponsoring of a leadership camp each summer for campus leaders and faculty, contributing to Life Planning Week, and planning and sponsoring many social activities such as Homecoming, the Junior-Senior Prom, and a Spring social function or dance.

Activities for the group this year included selling tissue shakers at the Homecoming game, helping with freshman orientation and attendance at convoca­ tions, and assistance with high school visitation. The honorary was founded on Marshall's campus in 1950-51 by a group of Hunt­ ington women who belong to Mortar Board, a national senior women's honorary. The purpose of Fagus is to assist the college administration in their activities and to initiate new programs.

It demands an active par­ ticipation in various projects for campus beautification, honoring of fellow students, aiding the college administration, and others. ODK, founded in 1914 and brought to Marshall in 1947, endeavors to serve Mar­ shall actively, despite the fact that its members are already among the busiest men on the campus. This year, president Jack Egnor, also a member of the Men's Concert Choir, helped co-ordinate a plan by which the choir and ODK could combine to raise money for an ODK scholarship fund and a touring fund for the choir. The first annual Marshall Minstrel show was staged with the Concert Cho1r providing the music a~d ­ the members of ODK serving as end men. Membership in Omicron Delta Kappa is probably the highest honor that male stu­ dents can achieve at Marshall. ,- Nick Hadzekyriakides, Lynn Buskirk, Hugh Fultz, Walter Felty, Russell Troutman, Tom Knight, Raymond Jans­ sen, Bob Friedly, Phil Cline, Bill Chaddock, Dr. Stewart H.
