Student Senate The governing body of the college is the Student Senate which consists of one representative from each of the eight social organizations, the Ministerial Association, the non-affiliated students on-campus and off-campus, class presidents and the president of the student body. Every Thursday night the Senate meets in the Faculty Room in Greene Hall under the leadership of the President, Bill Iackson, Secretary, Mary McCoy, and Treasurer, Fred Pryor. They discuss the problems concerning school activities and the mechanics of student government. This was the first Senate under the new Student Association Constitution which passed last year and the wish of the Senate is that this Constitution be effective in future years as well as now. The Constitution Committee spent much time going over each detail in the Constitution and By-Laws and made some amendments. The Senate had charge of choosing the Home- coming Co-Chairmen, Cheerleader elections, fresh- man elections, class oiiicers, student body president elections in the spring, and the elections of the associate business managers and associate editors of the Taller and Student. The new activity begun by this Senate was an orientation meeting for the new Senate taking over f - ' b or the year 1955 56. A calendar was printed with the Senate,s activities for each month. One important branch of the Student Senate is the Board of Control which is composed of three members: Mrs. Prather, Dr. Hilton and Mr. Truex. The Board is concerne d with the management of student publications. 24 L6dd67'5!ZZ'f7 i ,Eff t :H .www --f--1 - -P --- Hu fact wo. the sch' is r serw and hav plan Act Pici mui corr was the Fran I . , W W Q 20.51, 11 , 1 ,A ' 5 a mz, 'iz' . it 'Sf' Y , ,f 4. f ' '54 s N- V.. pil! 1 Lead
