Associated Students oF the University of Colorado 1940 ' s Associated Students of the University of Colorado Commis- sion entered into office after two elections and a general con- fusion which resulted from the actual or supposed chicanery of political factions. Under the present constitution, drawn up by the old commission led by Byron White in 1937, political parties were encouraged in the same spirit that characterizes local and notional government. That this spirit has been misunderstood at times must be admitted, but on the whole the A.S.U.C. has been both representative and efficient. This has been especially true of the 1940 Commission, led by able Bill Hitchcock, who has carried on a successful program and has mode steps for a better organized and more equitable election system in the Spring of 1941.
