Student Government The Constitution of the Student Government of the University of Miami was adopted on May 17. 1927. According to the preamble of this constitution, the Student Government was organized to conduct student affairs in an orderly, efficient. and systematic manner: to define clearly the privileges and responsibilities of the students: to govern by just and righteous laws: and to secure training and experience in self-government. The Student Government is composed of three departments. The Executive Department consists of the President. the Vice-President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer. The Senate composes the Legislative Department. The Judicial Department is made up of the Honor Court. The officers of the Executive Department arc Tom Condon, president: Florence Fowler, and later. Jack Madigan. vice-president; Jane Mercer, secretary: and George Wheeler, treasurer. Flo Fowler was vice-president for a term and a half and resigned in order to become Editor of the Hurricane. The President of the Student Government is intrusted with many powers and duties. He enforces the enactments of the Senate and the decrees of the Honor Court: he presides at all meetings of the Senate: he may veto any bill if he should TOM CONDON deem such action advisable: he is chairman of all student meetings, unless he delegates his power to another: and he countersigns all checks ordered by the Senate. The Student Senate enacts laws which concern the well-being of tlx student body. They are responsible for tlx allotment of the funds of the Student Activity Fee. and they elect the editors and business managers of the official student publications from the list of nominees submitted by the Publications Board.
