mines the agenda items and guides Senate business. The welcoming committee which handles relations with other student bodies and the social committee which participates in the selection of the Aggie Sweetheart and designates A M repre¬ sentatives to social functions of other schools are next most highly regarded. Very important is the election committee which handles all elections except class ballotings. The Exchange Store com¬ mittee distributes Exchange Store profits while the hospital and mess committees determine and in¬ vestigate problems and make recommendations for improvements in those fields. The publicity com¬ mittee cooperates with regular media of publicity in different phases of Senate w ork. Special com¬ mittees include the Campus Chest committee which directs the Campus Chest drive to provide funds for the Twelfth Man Scholarship, the WSSF, and a local contingency fund; the traffic committee which investigates campus problems and recom¬ mends solutions to the administration, and the Job Clinic committee which cooperates with the Placement Office in work towards a local clinic.

President KEITH E. ALLSUP Puryear Hall The Student Senate is the highest all-student unit in the A M student government. The Consti¬ tution of the Student Body authorizes it to govern in matters of student affairs. The Senate corre¬ sponds to the lower house of the common legis¬ lature as its members are elected by popular vote in fall elections except for the vice-presidents of the four classes, who are automatically members. Of the remainder of its 43 members in 1949-50, 27 were elected from a corresponding number of dormitories and housing areas, four by the stu¬ dents living in Annex barracks, two by the day students, and five at-large by all of the students. A total of 116 candidates filed for Senate places in the fall elections. Officers of the Senate, elected by the members, were Keith Allsup, president; Lloyd Manjeot, sec¬ retary, and Joe Fuller, parliamentarian. Consti¬ tutional amendments passed at the final meeting of the group will add the office of vice-president in the fall of 1950. Another amendment provides for nine non-voting, non-debating associate seats, three to be filled by each of the lower classes, to provide experience for additional underclass¬ men. Subject to popular approval in a special fall election, A M officers of the TISA (Texas Inter-Collegiate Students Association) will be given seats in the Senate which would normally be filled by senators-at-large. If approved, a TISA com¬ mittee to include any current state officers from A M will function within the Senate and will rep¬ resent AM in affairs of the state organization. Current TISA officers are Fuller, parliamentarian; Allan Eubank, executive vice-president, and Charles Royalty, executive secretary. The latter two offices were filled by the Senate since A M automatically receives them as the host school for the 1950-51 TISA convention. Much of the work of the Senate is done by its nine standing committees, and a committee at least makes recommendations concerning such matters as concern it. Most important of the committees is probably the four senator-group which is elected to the Student Life Committee. The four senators act as a liaison between the two groups but are not instructed how to vote by the Senate, rather voting individually on all matters. Second mosl important is the executive committee which deter- Student Top Row: Tom G. Calhoun II, Legett Hall; Lloyd E. Carroll, Dorm 14; John L. Christensen, vice-president (corps).
