SAC r . bL m. 4U Hi i 1 I- vi 1 1 »i v For the second consecutive year, the Board of Athletic Control underwent drastic revision. Due to the continued clamor from student and alumni fac- tions for equal representation on the body, the Board of Regents voted to have three members from the student body, alumni and faculty to comprise the B.A.C. Members of the Board since the new set-up was adopted in late February were: Dr. K. C. Leebrick, Dr. Paul S. Bachman and Dr. Bruce H. White of the faculty; A.S.U.H. President Warren Higa, Claude Takekawa and Barry Rubin of the student body; and Mr. Herbert Keppeler, Mr. Adolph Mendonca and Mr. Fred Steere of the alumni. Acting Director of Athletics Mr. Iwao Miyake and Mr. Joseph Skorpen, university treasurer were ex-officio, non-voting mem- bers. Dr. Leebrick was the chairman of the Board. The B.A.C. formulates all policies concerning athletics on the University of Hawaii campus. H schedules inter-collegiate games for the various athletic teams and selects the personnel to administer the different sports. Perhaps the prime goal of the B.A.C. during the past year was to pull the University athletic program out of the financial deficit it had fallen into during the ' 47- ' 48 fiscal year. Despite Acting Athletic Direc- tor Mlyake ' s untiring efforts towards this end, ath- letics of the U.H. remained in the red. Another problem that confronted the body was the selection of a permanent athletic director to re- place Mr. Miyake, who yearned to return to his former position of full time associate professor in the physics department. This position of athletic director had been without a permanent full-time occupant since the resignation of Dr. Francois D ' Eliscu in February, 1948. The B.A.C. after many deliberations appointed Tommy Kaulukukul to the position of Athletic Di- rector.

SOP The University of Hawaii Board of Publications, composed of ten members, has the primary responsi- bility of managing and directing the student publi- cations on the campus. Of major concern especially were the newspaper Ka Leo O Hawaii and the year- book Ka Palapala. The positions of editor and busi- ness manager of Ka Leo O Hawaii and Ka Palapala were determined by the BOP at the end of the school yecr. Members of the board were Warren HIga, chair- man; Mr. William Davenport, faculty advisor; Mr. O. A. Bushnell, alumni representative; Edwin Goya, Ka Palapala editor; Daniel Katz, Ka Leo editor; Viola Komori, Ka Palapala business manager; Mary Sam- son, Ka Leo business manager; and Robert Kata- yama, Mildred Tolentino and Kay Alcamine, student representatives. Ka Leo O Hawaii, the official University of Hawaii newspaper, was published twice a week under the capable editorship of Daniel Katz. Student activities and major campus events were efficiently covered by Ka Leo. The yearbook Ka Palapala was edited by Edwin Goya and printed on the mainland by Lederer, Street Zeus Co., Inc., of Berkeley, California. The BOP recommended that the ASUH Council investigate a constitutional amendment with a pro- vision that the business manager of Ka Leo assume office in July instead of September. Such an amend- ment was considered desirable because of the amount of summer work attendant upon this position.
