Student Judicial Board The Student Judicial Board was founded two years ago by the Assistant Dean of Students, Dan Zalskis and the UGBC Students Rights Advisor. The idea behind the student judicial board is so that students have an opportunity to have their cases heard by someone other than an administrator; if they are found guilty they can see precisely how members of their peer group feel about what they ' ve done. Any matters that cannot be resolved between a student and the Dean of Students Office is sent before a board. The student has the option of choos- ing the Student Judicial Board or the Administrative Hearing Board. The SJB consists of 4 student chair- persons and 35 student members: only one chair- person and 5 board members hear each individual case. The SJB may not expell a student from the Univer- sity; such decisions are left up to the University Conduct Board; but it may impose restitution, fines, disciplinary probation, suspension of privileges, and temporary dismissal from housing. The deci- sions of the board are immune from reversal or alteration by any member of the Boston College community. 1st row: M.L. Vitelli, M. Pallone, K. Russell, P. Staiano, K. Stevens. C.

Shea Educational Policy Committee Tom Anzuoni, Tim Shea, Kevin Mulcahy, Joanne Caruso The E.P.C. has authority over all academic matters that fall within the College of Arts and Sciences. The overall concerns of the committee include the strengths and relevance of the curri- culum; interdepartemental relationships; the quality of instruc- tion. The seventeen members who make up the committee include: The Dean, the Associate Deans, the Director of the Honors Program, the Director of Gudiance, 5 faculty from each of three divisions (Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences), and four student members. The four students are elected annually by a popular vote which is incorporated in the UGBC presidential election. Under the direction of the new Dean William Neenan, S.J., this years committee has been exceptionally productive. Its major accomplishments were the approval of two new A S majors: Computer Science and Classical Civilization, also the approval of an Irish Studies Program which constitutes Boston College ' s first own Junior year abroad program. 226

Democratic Club The Democratic Club is an independent student organiza- tion that has been active on the Boston College campus since 1970. The purpose of the club is to give interested students a chance to participate in Democratic politics and to discuss topical subjects with other informed students. Mem- bers of the Club gain experience in organizing various politic- al functions including speaker forums, debates, and semi- nars. There is also an opportunity to get involved in state or local campaigns, as well as internships. The Club has sponsored and co-sponsored several events during the year. Tom Gallagher visited during the Fall, to share his views on state representation. Later in the semester, the Club helped to organize the very successful mock presidential debate, which was attended by over 400 students. In November, State Secretary Michael Joseph Connolly came and spoke on the ethics of campaign financ- ing and the possiblities of public campaign financing in Mas- sachusetts. 1st row: J.
