I Council QoveknA SQA Although the activities of the Student Council, the executive body of the Student Governing Association, may seem endless, they all come under the heading of the purpose for which the organization was formed. Through the Council of the SGA the students have a voice in the government of the school and in extracurricular activities. The Student Council sponsored the Student Planning Committee and cooperated with all arrangements for Homecoming. Among the Council ' s numerous projects were the revision of the constitution by-laws; continuation of the study of more efficient forms of student government; printing of the student directory; cooperation with the Y organizations in printing freshman handbooks; sponsoring of the Go-to-College teams whose purpose was to publicize Kansas State; and sponsoring the SGA varsities. Nine members, including President Don Carttar, elected by the various schools of the College, carry on the Council business, in co- operation with the Faculty Council on Student Affairs. The Student Planning Committee, which was for the major part of the year a subcommittee of the Council, brought many new plans to the campus this year in the form of recommendations for re- visions of the constitution. A vote on the proposed amendments was held by the student body, but though the majority of those voting accepted them, they were automatically rejected since less than a quorum of students went to the polls. DON CARTTAR, Student Council presi- dent, leads the Council in the planning and organization of student extracurricu- lar affairs. Under his guidance, represen- tatives determine student policy in co- operation with the Faculty Council. REPRESENTATIVES of all schools in the College on the Student Council, executive body of the Student Governing Association, are left to right, Carol Jean Heter, Ansel Tarrant, Andrew Jackson, Pat Hartnett, Don Carttar, Georgine Bischoff, Henry Brandes, Dick Warren, K. B. Lucas, and at the far right, one of the Collegian reporters who cover the weekly Council meetings.

The Faculty Council on Student Affairs, headed by Dr. Harold Howe, Dean of the Graduate School, works in cooperation with the Student Council, governing body of the Student Govern- ing Association, in the determination of policy on extracurricular student affairs. Decisions of the Student Council are given the final O.K. by the Faculty Council, which is com- posed of 12 representative faculty members. The Faculty Council has several subcommittees, in- cluding the Committee on Fraternities and Sorori- ties, and the Organization Control Board. The Student Activity Fund Apportionment Board, composed of three student and three fac- ulty members, distributes the money to college organizations from the Student Activity Fund. The fund is received from a specified amount paid by each student with his fees as he enrolls. Through the years the percentage received by each beneficiary is changed very little, in accord- ance with tradition and policy of the Board. The allotment may vary in normal times approxi- mately as much as one per cent. The Student Union Planning Committee, di- rected by Prof. Paul Weigel, head of the Depart- ment of Architecture and Architectural Engineer- ing, deals with, as may be imagined from its title, the planning of the long-awaited Student Union building. Several members of the committee attended a meeting in Ohio this spring of Student Union directors and committees from colleges and uni- versities throughout the country. Definite plans have been approved. Construction on the proposed building is awaiting sufficient funds and build- ing materials.
