Shall the Vice President act as the President as part of his duties as Vice President or will he become the President and vacate his post as Vice President? . The Court observed that the Constitution states specifically in Article XII that the Vice President would become President in the event of a vacancy and a special election would be held to fill the office of Vice President. 90

BOG The Board of Governors made noticeable improvements in the college union, Hemenway Hall, this year. The most startling change was the remodeling of the main lounge. Colorful pieces of furniture brightened the once conservative hall. Offices for the ASUH financial secretary, BOG secretary and the Bureau of Stu- dent Activities were relocated and installed in the Blue Room. The freshmen were given campus calendars which explained the functions of the Board of Governors and listed BOG activities. These events were dances, coffee hours, and movies. The Carnegie Music Library scheduled a listening hour of progressive jazz, which attracted a large crcwd. The program committee started an art collection to lend to the students and faculty. A new committee handling special activities planned popular zabuton classes, ti-leaf slides, and tours around Oahu. Comprising the Board of Governors are eight students, three faculty members, and one alumnus, with the Program Counselor serving as ex-officio member. This group is responsible for the policy, programming and maintenance of Hemenway Hall — your college union. Dewey Kim Edward Stasack Raymond Vaught 92 ' ii
