HE Big Sister Advisory Board is a group of fourteen girls organized to act as sponsors and directors of the Big Sister Movement. It is the aim of the organization "to establish a basis of real individual friendship between the women of the freshman class and the upperclassmen by giving thought to their college life and making plans to meet their needs; calling on them in their homes, taking them to college meetings and to church, and attempting to give the little sisters some true ideas of their relations to the University, the Y. W. C. A., the A. W. S., the W. A. A., and other student activities.

     The Board supervises the work of about 350 active big sisters and 600 little sisters. The big sisters are divided into groups of about twenty-five with a board member acting as advisor. Group meetings are held to plan and discuss the work of the Big Sisters, During the year a special Vespers was held on the theme "Friendship." A party was given during registration week, a dinner in October, and a Valentine party in February for all big and little sisters.

      The Board is composed of two sophomore members, four juniors, and eight senior members. Eight new members are elected to the Board each year. The president automatically becomes a member of A. W. S. Board because of associated support, and is a non-voting member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. An advisory council consisting of one faculty member, one member, one alumnae, one church and one Y. W. C. A. advisory representative assists the Board in their activities.

HE Block and Bridle Club is a national Animal Husbandry organization with chapters in the leading agricultural colleges of the United States. The local chapter was organized in March, 1917. The membership consists of students majoring in Animal Husbandry who have completed three semesters of University work. The purpose of the club is to unify the students within the department, and to work with the faculty in carrying out experimental and educational programs.

     A new club room has recently been furnished for the club and is being appropriately decorated. The cups won by judging teams in the past will be displayed here, as well as individual ribbons. A complete history of all former judging teams is being portrayed by their pictures and the record made by them in various contests.

      The club plans to increase its activities during the coming year. It will strive to strengthen the bond of friendship which is growing between the business men of Lincoln and the students in the department. In addition, the activities will be expanded to win the interest and support of the live stock men and farmers of the state.
