-IrrF It was the activities boards who did the arduous and rewarding work that kept programs going. Mae Ouchida led the Academic Board through an eventful fall and winter term, resigning in the spring to become vice president. Jean Bailey, a new and effective arrival in student activities, took Mae's place. The Academic Board oversaw such programs as art exhibits, poetry series, and Beethoven's bi rthday ceremonies. John Dawkins and the Community Affairs Board worked with the tutorial program, urban stud- ies, and the political affairs forum. Upon his resignation in winter term, Pam Erickson be- came boss. Pat Oberlander wore two hats this year as chair- man of the Social Recreation Board and second vice president. Her board's Winter Carnival, Homecoming, and spring formal were testi- monials to energetic and imaginative character. Chairman Ken Williams watched the Publica- tions Board while it administered the Vanguard, Viking, and Review. Among the achievements of the year was the Associated Collegiate Press "AIl American" rating won by the Vanguard. Bill Nygren edited the paper to this top category of college newspapers. Student elections on campus turned city wide attention to ASPSC politics. Lauded as a "new breed" of student body president, Joe Uris stormed to a landslide victory with his run- ning mate, Mae Ouchida. Mae brought sound achievement to the ticket and Joe brought new ideas. The combination set off a large fire dur- ing the campaign. Smoke from this fire, along with quantities of hot air, so pervaded the at- mosphere of fourth floor College Center that production was somewhat hampered. * $ * + s $, 76
