SERVICES AT
NORMAL SCHOOL
Officers of Students Gov
eminent Assn. Assume
Obligations for Year

The installation of the officers Of
the student government association
OF the resident halls for women at
the Moorhead normal school took
place at Wheeler hall. A special din
ner, at which President and Mrs.
Weld were guests, was served in
Comstock hall preceding the exer-
cises. President Weld, in delivering
the installation address, emphasized
particularly the difference between
individualism and social mindedpess.
In nation, community, school, and
hall, the social istinct must be su-
preme If democracy and good will
are to maintain.
The officers follow:
Wheeler Hall.

Miss Beaudin and Miss Bertel, aft
er being installed and receiving ban
ners as insignia of their office, re-
piled in a few words. Each express
ed her interest in hall activities, and,
in pledging her loyalty to the school
and its interest, asked for loyalty
and cooperation from her fellow
students.
The Women's League.
A women's league has been or
ganized in the school. This is an or
ganization of the normal schoon con-
sisting of three branches: The Stu
dent Government association of the
resident halls, the Neighborhood as
ISOLATION, and the Resident associa-
ton. Through the union of these
various associations in the Women's
league, a greater spirit Of co-opera-
ton, loyalty, and comradeship can
be maintained and released for
worthy ends.
The Women's league is organized,
therefore, with the twofold purpose
Of enlarging the knowledge concern
ing the individual woman and her
needs, and of broadening and deep
ening her knowledge of her environ
ment While self knowledge, like
self preservation, is of first interest
to the individual, yet the individual
does not come into the full realiza-
ton of her powers and strength until
she learns more of her environments
the campus, the community, and
the world at large. Through talks
and other mediums, the league hopes
TO add to the knowledge concerning
the individual woman, and. to in
crease her sense Of group conscious
ness. If individualism is a mottvat-
ng force, it is equally true that
group consciousness is the balance
wheel to individualism.
