CHROMASCOPE MEN'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE gj i I £ 9 m V f I % T,T i r Hutt Scott P. Smith Hovell Carter Felker, Pres. Springall Evans Talbot CTUDENT government has met with some degree of success in Austin College although there is still room for improvement. It puts more responsibility upon the students and makes them more self-reliant and at the same time controls the actions of the student body. Since the abolishment of the Kangaroo Court several years ago difficulties have arisen because with it went the most effective means of punishment. The students, with the help of the faculty, make their own laws and enforce them. Student government is headed by two groups, the Men’s Executive Committee and the Woman’s Executive Committee, and these two groups co-operate in handling the affairs of the student body. The Men's Executive Committee is composed of four members of the Senior class, three members of the Junior class, two members of the Sophomore class, and one member of the Freshman class. The duties of the committee include all cases of disobedience of the men of the student body and they are handled as in any court. The honor system is also in effect in Austin College and, like the student government, it also has met with both success and failure, but, on the whole, it is fairly effective. The Men's Executive Com- mittee js also the center of the honor system. KEY p
