The revisions were accomplished and along with them came a noticeable strict- ness of interpretation regarding enforce- ment of the college student legal code. These developments came about even after a relatively slow start in Student Court activities, brought about by the absence of the required number of court members to allow the court to act. The leadership of the Fall and Spring semester Justices played a major part in determining the tone of operation of the Student Court, which compared fa- vorably with state and national legal systems. With a bite at least as bad as his bark, which was loud and strong, McClenehan crawled way out on the proverbial limb in the Fall semester, warning students to stop playing politics and threatening those who did so unfavorably with effective court action. As if this were not enough, McClenehan proceeded to cut this limb half-way through and remain seated on it through- out his term of ofhce. It was not uncommon to see or hear him quoted as willing to remove from office any member of student government who did not stop certain packing processes or those who started to umonkey around with power when it considerably influenced student life. Typical of McClenehanis enthusiasm for an effective court system on campus was the part he played in a controversial court decision. For the first time in recent years, a campus organization challenged a court decision regarding student legislation and demanded a hearing. Due to a major effort on the part of McClenehan as prosecuting attorney, the court upheld the student constitution and found the chal- lenging group guilty as charged, and determined the legisla- tion in question to be in accord with the constitution. Precedents are always important in law, and the establish- ment of the stronger campus legal system is indeed important for the effective operation of student government.

Student Council One of the most important responsibilities of the Student Council is the establishment of a student budget. Student Body card sales, accounts receivable. faculty cards, and Veterans' incomes account for the income of funds. The budget does not include a $25,163 Gen- eral Reserve Fund which serves as a cushion in emergency situations. Many students remain unaware of the size of the ASB budget and the disbursement of their funds. Interested and concerned students contact the Student Council throughout the school year for clarifi- cation of appropriations and disbursements. The following budget was set up during the Fall semester. SITTING... left to right: Sherri Arcemont, Linda Hardin, Pat Hays, Joyce Rowson, B. J.
