In keeping with the growing attitudes of political freedom, Arkansas A M saw its first Stu- dent Association Council in 193 24 The students, seventeen ori- ginally, were elected by the four classes. With the onset of the 40’s, several activity cabi- nets emerged and were subse- quently dissolved. During the 60’s, the council grew to about 50 members re- presenting various campus or- ganizations. It was at this time that the name was changed to the Student Senate Associ- ation. In 1972 the group adopt- ed its present name, the Stu- dent Government Association. In early 1979, the Student Activities Board was formed to relieve the SGA president of the responsibilities of arranging campus activities.
