JUDICIAL COURT This year marks the fourth year the Student Judicial Court has been active in Student Gov- ernment at Babson. Created as the result of student desire for greater self-discipline and the cooperation of the administration in obtaining that objective, the Student Judicial Court has First Row: R. Carlson, Chairman. Second Row: W. Yeo, T. Clark, T. Suydam. proved that the student body is capable of internally maintaining acceptable standards of conduct. judgment of our acts by our peers is thought to be one of the most positive examples of a mature and democratic society. As a standing committee of the Student Government, the Sudent Iudicial Court has made this concept a reality at Babson Institute. TRAFFIC COURT As a standing committee of Student Gov- ernment, the TraHic Court is charged with hearing appeals on student trafiic violations. Every Tuesday evening the Court is faced with the responsibility of dealing fairly with students who feel they have been injusticed by a ticket. Led ably by Chairman Richard D. Carlson, justice is fairly administered by members Terry A. Clark, Thomas W. Suydam and William E. Yeo. Through the efforts of these appointed members, the Traffic Court lends an element of fairness to what seems to many-an unfair traffic ticket.

STUDE NT GOVERNMENT The Student Government is the one organiza- tion that constantly has a very close relationship with the Administration. It is the channel of communication and feedback, through which the administration and the students correlate the ideas that contributed toward improvement of the experiment called college education. Under the presidency of Jim Boutilier the Government enjoyed a successful year in several areas. The new system of co-chairmen for the Social Committee, in the capable hands of Willy Kavanna and Steve Webber, produced the most enjoyable and financially successful calen- dar in the schoolis history. New legislation occurred in the form of a totally revised and up-dated By-law regarding business licenses-this subject having taken rnost of the discussion time in the Government meet- ings. There was indication of the renewed interest in the over-all future of Babson by the reactivation of student participation in the Alumni-Student Relations Committee. Another indication of this feeling of coopera- tion between the students and administration was the dropping of the hours-restriction on the Dry Dock Snack Bar-allowing it to compete with the B.S.O. Snack Bar. The government sponsored the second annual Parentis Weekend-under the chairmanship of Jim Boutilier. The event was expanded to a full weekend, including a special performance by the Theatre Guild, and a dinner-dance in the Trim dining hall-a beautiful building which, from now on, may be used more frequently. The annual Honors Day Assembly was included in Parent's Weekend-a natural marriage of events-and, it is hoped, one that will become a traditional part of Parentis VVeekend in the future.

Blue Key National Honor has the responsibility of coordinating the Cabi- net, the president of Blue Key, Robert Onderdonk, serving as chairman of the group. It has been the practice of the Cabinet to meet when necessary throughout the year to discuss the mutual problems and plans of the member organizations with the Dean of Students, Paul C. Staake. Most important of the Cabinet's duties is the selection of the members of the Student Iudicial Court. During the spring term of this year twenty-four nominees were pre- sented for the Cabinet's consideration from which two were selected to serve as alter- nates on the court. Special recognition should be given to the Chairman of the Cabinet, Robert Onderdonk, for a job well done.
