Probably the most difficult task associated with the activities of a group of students is the enforcement of these rules and the infliction of punishment upon those who violate them. This has become the responsibility of Utah's Commission of Control. Its duties include the maintenance of peace and order among students, the regulation of interclass rivalry, the prevention of hazing, and the preservation of obedience to laws made by civil authorities as well as executive boards of the school.The commission is appointed by the second vice-president of the A. S. U. U., with the approval of the executive council. This year it consisted of a chief commissioner who was Jay Glen, and seven subordinates whe were: Pratt Clark, Mar-win Jonas, George James, Milton Rideout, Marwin Johnson, Walter Slater, and Wayne Fisher. These are all upperclass-men of the university. This body worked in conjunction with the student government board in the maintenance of discipline, and each wore a prescribed badge to designate his authority.Many difficult problems met by the commissioners during the past year were capably handled. In the fall quarter the smoking issue arose; and, after much discussion, certain sections of the campus were left unrestricted for those who wished to smoke. Any person overstepping the limits was apprehended by the vigilantes.At the same time the two underclasses became very enthusiastic in interclass rivalries. The results were a series of random paintings on the rostrum, the big "U," and the Park Building floor. The conditions were soon remedied by the commissioners.45 |
