Lorraine Carpenter Heads Independent Students' Group
The outgrowth of the desire of independent men and women on the campus for a more varied life, the I.S.A. makes it possible for the independent student to engage in activities similar to those the Greek organizations enjoy. Taking a hint from the independent organizations of surrounding colleges, the independent students of the University met in 1937 to form a ground-work of the present organization. Since that time great progressive strides have been taken. The I.S.A. was host to the national convention in 1939, and their dances and other social activities are attended by a great majority of the student body. Henry Werner, men's student adviser, sponsors the organization.
Members of the council are:
President, Lorraine Carpenter;
vice-president, Lois Thompson; secretary,
L. B. Hammer; business manager,
Shirley Wellborn; George Yeckel; Betty VanderSmissen; Victor Reinking.
