• One of the biggest and most active functioning committees on campus is the Social Committee under the direc- tion of Roger Rodzen, Activities Vice President. This committee, composed of students who have been appointed to it because of their service and in- terest in ASC, is entirely in charge of social events which take place for the student body here on campus. Although active in providing a well rounded social calendar for stu- dents with after game dances, num- erous teas and receptions, and free movies, they are also in charge of big extravaganzas like the Corona- tion Ball n the Spring where the campus king and queen are crowned. This year, with the opening of the new student union, the committee had its hands full planning the activi- ties for the opening week plus the weeks oftor. • The Executive Council is an eleven mem- ber group composed of the ASASC officers, AMS and AWS presidents, and five board chairman. Their advisor is the Dean of Students. The group has direct supervision over the student body affairs, committees and organizations. They represent the Stu- dent Body in classroom activities as well as extra-curricular activities. It is the duty of the council to put into action all policies made by the legislative body. • The job of the Supreme Court, which is composed of four Justices and one Chief Justice is to decide as to the constitution- ality of the student statutes when such an issuo is brought before them.

 • The Student Senate has enacted many measures to establish definite policies in many areas of student activity. Probably one of its main accomplishments has been the reorganization of the new Memorial Union into the governing scope of Associated Students. Another major project of the Senate is the formulation of the Associated Students financial budget. The Senate is composed of 30 students representing chiefly the classes and major student councils. • Arizona State had a big year activities wise with the best homecoming ever, the success of Parent's Day and of course, the grand opening of the Memorial Union Building. The Christmas Sing, a traditional event on campus, was well attended with Tommy Pyle leading the students in singing. Ralph Materie and his Orchestra played for the opening of the Memorial Union in February. In the Spring ihe All-School picnic is sponsored by A.M.S. and is a traditional event. Along with the calendar of Spring activities comes the climax of the year with the Coronation Ball and the crowning of the Campus King and Queen.

• Upon enrollment each woman student becomes a member of the Asso- ciated Women students. Each coed has the opportunity to participate with benefits to herself and her organization. Government of A.W.S. is divided into three councils: the Executive Council, the General Council and Judicial Board. These groups function in the name capacities they hold. The Judicial Board acts as a disciplinary council, the Executive group in formulation of A.W.S. policy and the General Council as a legislative and lav making board. A.W.S. at Arizona State was this year chosen as the Western I.A.W.S. region's public relations clearing house. It is the duty of this clearing house staff to promote the national organization to schools in the west which may not belong to I.A.W.S. This year's activities included the Big Sister Program, Head Residents Tea, and the fall Star Formal where everyone danced on the mysterious sea floor. For the first time the A.W.S. sponsored the canned foods drive, a Christmas project. The nation wide polio drive engulfed the Arizona Slate campus when A.W.S. sponsored many activities contributing to the March of Dimos. Conventions, Council Party, Pajama Party, for which all women students were aiven a late night were more activities sponsored by A.W.S. The year was climaxed with a Women's Day and a Recognition Banquet at which more than 100 most active women on campus were honored. I -
