STUDENT SENATE ' This year the Student Sen- l ate has been continuing the work of the Senate of the previous year in revising its constitution, which is the bas- is for student government. Among the changes made are the admission to the Senate of representatives of the Freshman class-one man and one woman to be elected by the class at the middle of the first semester. Under the new constitution it will be re- quired of every organization to place in McCartney Lib- rary a copy of its constitu- tion. This will be the official copy, and no changes will be etlective unless recorded on it. Any new organization formed will be required to lmxxm1Romuoxin President apply to the faculty for its authorization and to present a copy of its constitution to the Student Senate. Because of the opinion of many members both of the faculty and of the student body that Freshman regulations have de- feated their own purposes by causing class enmity in- stead of aiding in the orientation of the Freshman Class. Freshman regulations have been omitted from the new constitution. A clause has been introduced stating that Freshmen will be expected to uphold Freshmen tradi- tionsg namely, the care of the G and the use of the south entrance of Old Main. Another clause calls for uniform bookkeeping by the student organizations under the direction of the Senate in cooperation with the head of the department of business administration. The Sen- ate may call for an auditing of the books of any organ- ization at any time, and the books of all will be audited every year. The records of the activities of each organ- ization shall be presented to the Senate. A summary of all these activities, as well as one of the work of the Senate itself, will be made and will be turned over by the president of the college to the board of trustees.

Back Row: MCMILLAN, GRAHAM, EWVING, GR1l TITHS Front Row: CAUGHEY, PROP. PARK, ATCHISON COPLEY Until the present the Student Senate has consisted of a man and woman representative of each of the three up- per classes, a president, and a secretary. The powers and duties of the Senate have been the administration of Freshman regulations, the settling of class disputes, the supervision of all social affairs sponsored by the student body as a distinct organization and of such matters as gifts of flowers and expressions of sympathy, nomina- tion of the president and secretary of the Senate, and the election of the editor and the business manager of the Cabinet. As a result of action taken by the organiza- tion, the committee on dormitory regulations, in coopera- tion with the council of McKee Hall, revised the rules so that the overnight privileges have been increased. Two extra overnight privileges are allowed those girls whose homes are more than one hundred miles away. Each girl is granted one eleven-thirty permit a week instead of three a semester. The time for girls to return to the dormitory on week-nights has been extended according to the class seating of the student.
