Show 172COMMITTEESCommittees, which do most of the work on campus in organizing and supervising events and activities, are grouped into two divisions, ASUU committees and Student-Faculty committees. The ASUU committees are designed to facilitate the active participation of each member of the student body in school events. The committees are under the supervision of the Personnel Coordinator.The committees are divided into two main categories: Special Event Committee's, such as Junior Prom; and Year-Long Committees, such as Student Participation.Name bands and entertainers perform for the University, and many student-service projects are rendered through the active assistance of the various committees.Students have found that the fond memories they carry with them long after graduation has passed are the extra-curricular activities in which they participated.Utah is one of the few universities that operates on a Student-Faculty system. In the Spring Quarter the newly installed Executive Council approves the selection of over sixty students, chosen this year from three times that many applicants, to serve on fifteen different committees. This year, as in the past, the entire Student-Faculty organization of ASUU has been under the direction of the First Vice President.The committees provide opportunity for cooperative consideration of University problems on many levels. Committees are categorized according to the following areas: Governmental, Student Services, Student Affairs, Cultural and Academic, and Athletic.The Committees and Councils range from advisory boards to actual policy-making bodies, responsible for a wide variety of student activities and an apportionment and control of many thousands of dollars of student fees.The Student-Faculty Committees allow students to deal directly with their own problems, to work intimately with the faculty and administration, and encourage the learning process through experience in University administration. The faculty members are selected by Academic Vice-President, and then faculty and students are all approved and appointed by President Olpin. Utah can be proud of its friendly relations between students and faculty, and student government can point with satisfaction to an increase in the quality and meaningfulness of its contribution to the University community. |
