DR. RALPH W. STEEN Chairman The Student Life Committee during 1949-50 strengthened its position os the upper house of the A M student government. Under its con¬ stitution from the president of the college, the committee is to govern all matters pertaining to student life. Current amendments give the group authority to serve as liaison unit between all other student organizations and the college administration and to act on and for¬ ward any matters which need approval of higher authorities. The com¬ mittee is to review and make recommendations on all Student Senate business requiring the action of higher authorities. Under these amend¬ ments and an adopted student government channels chart, the group also is to act on and forward matters of class business not within the jurisdiction of the Student Senate but still of a nature requiring the approval of higher authorities. The committee is composed of eleven students and nine faculty and staff members, the latter appointed yearly by the president of the college. Four student members are elected by the Student Senate, three student members are selected in a general election by the non-corps students, and the presidents of the Senior and Junior Classes, the colonel of the corps, and the co-editors of The Battalion (who exercise only one vote between them) are automatically members because of the offices they hold. The committee chairman is designated by the presi¬ dent of the college, who also designates a non-voting executive secre¬ tary, and the group elects one of its members as parliamentarian. Among its many duties, the committee distributes the Welfare and Recreation Fund, selects Who ' s Who award winners, and supervises and grants contracts for student publications.
