s. enaie h The Student Senate brought down the gavel on the final bit (;f busi- ness for the Spring ' 40 semester with a satisfied bang. That final meeting on the night of Monday, May 6 ended the history of the Student Senate forever. The Senate legislated itself out of exist- ence by voting in an amendment to the new-made Constitution whereby the work of both the Senate and the Coed Council will be done hence- forth by an Executive Council composed of both men and women. But, to quote one of the Senate members, this year ' s work ' re-vital- ized the student government, and its effects will endure for years to come. They have re-written the school ' s Constitution, formulated a new honor code and re-vamped the Student Activities fee and its allo- cation. They have also found time to put on a top-notch dance. One of the principal effects of the new constitution will be to insure better continuity from year to year in student government on the Hill- top. It provides that the retiring president of the Executive Council shall introduce the president-elect to his duties. The president-elect shall be taught to interpret and use the Constitution, and shall be familiarized with the unfinished business of the group. The new document also pro- vides for the filing of minutes from year to year so that the new Council can pick up right where the other left off with no preamble. President Bruce Johnson states that the Senate would have put sev- eral amendments in the new Constitution if the year had been a Kttle longer. embers Donald Brabston Jimmy Cooper Louie Davis Billy Doggett Paul Hamilton Howell Heflix Bruce Johnson Rudy Riley Durell Ruffin Shelby Walthall
