The members of this group work diligently throughout the year in an effort to main-lain student discipline. This board has original jurisdiction to hear and determine all cases arising from any offense against the general welfare of the student-body, and has appelate jurisdiction from the decision of any of the councils of control for activities involving the constitution of the By-laws of the University. Any actions which might bring discredit upon the school, or actions which in any way are infringements upon the laws of the college, fall within the jurisdiction of this board. The committee, therefore, does its utmost to uphold the ideals and standards of the institution. The purpose of having a case brought before this group is to determine the facts, and from these, to declare the innocence or guilt of the accused person. There is no standard penalty for these cases, but the penalties are distributed at the discretion of the majority of the board members. Appeals from the decisions of the council may be taken to the president of the University, or to the Deans' Council. This government board is the students' protection, their peace-maintaining system. It is through this organization that the A.S.U.U. attempts to have harmony prevail on the campus. Working with fairness toward everyone concerned, the Student Government Board is an effective way of maintaining law and order among the students. All vital questions of student conduct are brought belore this board. Problems arising from the infraction by students of any rule of university discipline, or from any offense against the student-body as a whole are considered by this council. Each year brings a number of new problems in student discipline along with recurring old difficulties in student administration. The government committee has always demonstrated its ability to handle judiciously and meet adequately the various problems that arise. The meetings of the committee are conducted in strict accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure, which gives those students who are interested an excellent opportunity to learn, through actual practice, the principle of democracy and self-government. The board consists of the members of the Executive Council, Elton W Pace, Varno Gilbert, George R. Glen, Betty Knight, and Robert Davis; the presidents of the four classes, Weldon P. Bullock, Wesley Anderson, Sherman Clark, and Arthur Kelly; the editor of the Chronicle, James K. Knudson; one Junior representative, Harlow Sharp; and two Senior representatives, Hugh Patrick and Reed Pollock. The Junior representative is selected by the council to serve for two years, thus providing for the continuity of the committee. The Senior member is elected for one year only. /'.;.;<? us A r J |
