Social CommiUee Why Student Government gives the craziest group in the school $17,000 year after year to show the rest of the school a good time is beyond compre- hension. This year, Scott Dreffin ' s protoges Sam Davis and Scott Smith handled the money well, actually, they didn ' t even throw a major concert. The year opened up with an outdoor concert by John Lincoln Wright. Trying to talk the school ' s administration into having an outdoor concert is like trying to nail jello to the wall. This shows what kind of persistance the Social Committee (SOCO) had. Fall Weekend was probably the best event in which SOCO payed Martin Mull $6,000 to enter- tain and insult the Babson Community for an hour and a half. The Halloween mixer was a bomb. The band Fountainhead was great and the social committee had a good time (they were about the only ones there). The December Super Disco Party bombed (only one advance ticket was sold to a foreign student) and turned into Sammy ' s Squrm Palace , with a rock ' n ' roll D.J. and lots of lights and effects. Once again the social committee and five LaSalle girls had a great time. Winter Weekend was the concert mixer with GRYT and James Montgomery. Everyone went ba- nanas and drank all the beer during GRYT and most people left during James Montgomery. It was rather odd that half the social committee including the chairperson played for GRYT, but they blew Montgomery away. The next event was The Beaver Royal Casino for Spring Weekend. Once again the social committee made the school look good! On the last event SOCO really pulled out all the stops. You ' ve heard of Woodstock well Babson had Beaverstock with four local bands. It was an out- door music festival that got tons of noise level com- plaints, attracted thousands of high school kids and one motorcycle gang. BOY WAS IT A GOOD TIME. Thanks to everyone: Sam, Scott, Stains, Googs, Android, Cheese, Buck, Larry, Peggy, Lynn, Hog- gie, Taj, Cameron, Nick, Ozzie, A.K. Psi, Security and Administration, and everyone else who helped. 180

The purpose of the Student Judicial Court is to act as a court of peers that hear complaints, determine facts and take disciplinary action on any problem involving undergraduates. The court is the only group that functions for that purpose. The court is composed of eight members: Five voting members, two al- ternates, and a chairperson. The Vice- President of Student Affairs, Mr. Paul Staake, serves as advisor to the court. Any student, faculty member or ad- ministrator may bring a complaint against a student. There are two compo- nents that comprise a court hearing, the process and the content. The content of all court meetings and hearings is held confidence by the court members and all meetings are closed. After the hearing is complete, the court will determine the facts from the presented evidence and vote to decide the guilt or innocence of the defendant, based on the charge brought against him her. If the Court finds the defendant not guilty, the chairperson will notify the person immediately. If the person is found guilty, the Court must determine a fair disciplinary action. 179
