Executive ouncil 1 Representing the entire student body by the various colleges is the Executive Council, non-executive legisla- tive branch of FIorida's student government, - Despite the fluctuating membership caused by mem- bers being called to the services, this year's council went on to prepare the student body for the emergency measures that it will be forced to accept in the next few years. lt is to be commended for maintaining the usual diligence that has characterized past councils. Hoisting the friendly flag to all Army men who made their debut on the campus this year, the Council sought to convey true Florida spirit to the khaki-clad men. Limitation of fee-supported organizations was the main action of the Council but all of its work was indica- tive of its war consciousness. Chief among its activities was approving a joint radio DVOgram sponsored by the U. of F. and WRUF describing The University's war efforts . . . adopting a community sing for the benefit of the OCS men fostering friendly relations between army men and the students . . . probed refusal of the State Board to return fees for student Officer salaries as guaranteed by the constitution . . . Oppointments . . . sadly recommended that Orange Peel fees be turned over to the strickened Seminole , . . The Alligator subhead Refuse Pep Club but Vote Themselves Keys , brought comment . . . studied possibilities of eliminating Spring politics because of greatly lessened Student body fwas later done away with in a special electionl . . . more appointments . . . ironically ap- Dtoves Florida Blue Key's amendment to the constitution for establishment of a war government . . . fthis was also approved in special electionl . . . finally recom- mendation of the Publications Board that all publica- tions be greatly curtailed or modified to meet student l3Ody needs . . . still more appointments . . . Approval of the constitutional amendment to dissolve The Council in favor of the war government by the Students brought the work of the Council to a close Until after the war, so it will cede its coveted position go the new senate which is to serve the war-time student ody, Athey Coppedge Cotfen Cox Eaton Gay Lyle Mann McCarthy Pullara Raborn Threodgill White McJunkin Agner Jones Arnold Hill Gibbons Poulos Palmer Mitchell Dale Knouer

The Honor Court gives Florida men the fullest opportunity to settle their own problems and to correct Gnd reprimand their own students. Although the l-lonor Code deals specifically with stealing, cheating, and the passing of worthless checks, over a period of many years it has gotten to be more, it is a way ot and spirit of living on the Florida campus. U Tlllsl Year when Florida men had to make dynamic changes In their torm ot student government, every man wanted to See this l-lonor Code and its ideals preserved. At the beginning of the year all freshmen are taken to the l'lOnOr Court Room and instructed as to its spirit and mean- 'RQ by Some outstanding student speaker, From thereon it is O Dart of him, not only until his graduation but on out into GVGVY Clay life, FIorida's most cherished tradition will live onl The War got its share ot l-lonor Court members as it did all Of The Student Body.
