Representative Assembly THE Constitution of the Undergraduate Association of Barnard Col- lege provides for a Representative Assembly which shall have legis- lative power, and for a Student Council which shall have power to exe- cute all policies of the Assembly. In recent years this relationship has become rather vague, and Representative Assembly has, for one reason or another, delegated most of its power to Student Council, until it has become an unwieldy body devoting most of its time to discussing rather minor questions. But Representative Assembly should logically be the most important group on the campus. It is composed of the presidents of the clubs, of classes, the heads of publications, representatives from the college at large, class delegates, and others. It is really representa- tive of the college, and might be expected to accomplish a great deal. Various questions have come up regarding Representative Assem- bly, and it has been suggested that it be abolished. However, the col- lege feels that this would be a serious mistake. Student Council is not qualified to take over its work, because it is too small and unrepresenta- tive. It has been said that since it is smaller, it is more efficient, but that is a non-sequitur. Its size makes it, in a measure, unqualified to handle the large amount of business which is brought before it. Much of this business is indispensable. If Barnard is to be a unified institution, there must be some means of co-ordinating the activities of smaller groups within it, and there are numerous matters which affect the college as a whole, which must be given free discussion, and for which some organi- zation must be definitely responsible. The future should find a change in Representative Assembly, for the college feels the necessity for its improvement. Among the many sug- gestions are (I) that the agenda for the meetings be given to the mem- bers in advance, in order to promote more careful consideration on all matters, (2) that committees be formed to discuss questions fully and to offer to the entire body a carefully thought out measure for final approval, (3) that its activities be more widely publicized, to arouse greater interest among the students. And finally, that Representative Assembly realize its own importance and possibilities. Page 23
