A PART OF ADMINISTRATION houses. Members serve as faculty representatives on the executive council of the Independent Student Asso- ciation. Miss Margaret Raffington, member of the Faculty Council, acts as chairman. The all-important Apportionment Board determines just where each dollar of the student activity fund goes. Student publications, athletics, musical organizations, theatrical funaions, judging teams and other College groups depend on this committee for their operational funds. Dick Lindblom is chairman. Formerly known as the Academic Dishonesty Com- mittee, the Academic Honesty Committee, under the direction of Prof. Wilson Tripp, handles cases of stu- dents caught cheating during examinations.

Two new committees were organized this year. They were the Student Union Special Events Committee and the Independent Coordinating Assembly. A nearly all-masculine organization is the Graduate Council which has Graduate School Dean Harold Howe as chairman. The Council is the policy-determining body for the Graduate School. It determines matters of curriculum, admission to graduate study, candidacy for advanced degrees and other matters pertaining to gradu- ate work at the College. Members of the Organization Control Board, under the leadership of Housing Director A. Thornton Ed- wards, decide which student organizations (except fra- ternities) shall be allowed to function on the campus. Tony Ceranich is chairman of the Student Union Special Events Committee.
