Chief Justice Bud Billiter directed proceedings in the student court and worked closely with senate officers: Dick Paul, Marion Hassell, and Linda LeCheminant. Although the senate is a comparatively new body, having been in existence approximately seven years, it has become a real governing and policy-making group for the University. Acting as the law makers, the senators worked on the NSA problem, the proposed reorganization of the class officers, co-sponsored the research project and questionnaire with the executive council, to find out student attitudes on current events and problems.The court, comprised of justices Dick Birrell, Bob Wright, Bud Billeter, Kathy Peterson, and Bob Sloan, enforced the laws established by the senate. Election and ID violations were two examples of cases which were brought before the student justices. They also set some new precedents for future courts. |
