ADMINISTRATION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS W: J. HiLLis Miller Deiin of St?iileiits ITH the exception of academic matters and stu- dent discipline, the general administrative super- vision of all matters relating to student life is centered in the office of the Dean of Students. The office of the Dean of Students was created by the Board of Trus- tees in the spring of 1933. It is a separate division responsi- ble directly to the President and has no organic connection with any of the other administrative offices on the campus. A fine spirit of cooperation exists between them. Realiz- ing that the typical American college campus is a com- plicated maze of organizations, activities and influences and that Bucknell is no excep- tion, the new office has set as its goal the intelligent facing of all extra-curricular activities and organizations in terms of the educational process. The goal set by the office explains the close relationship between students and faculty members in all the committees set up to supervise and govern student affairs. The Board of Publications, for example, supervises and manages all publications. This Board consists of three faculty members designated as advisers for the three publications repre- sented on the Board, and the editor and business manager of each publication. All staff appointments are approved by the Publications Board. In some cases the students make direct application to the Board. All contracts are examined and passed upon by the Board. Another illustration is the Artist Course Committee. Because of its wide range and significance for the University and the community at large, this committee is made up of seven faculty members and three students. This committee arranges for all the Artist Course numbers distributed through the college year, to the support of which the students contribute through the Student Budget. Another illustration is the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee consists of students and faculty members, and any organization or group interest is at liberty to appear before the Budget Committee and ask to be placed on the Budget. All claims will be weighed carefully by the committee and a report made to the Student-Faculty Congress, which has authority to regulate and to legislate with respect to all student affairs. The authority which the Congress exercises comes directly from the Dean of Students, and all committees and councils on the campus are subject to the direct control of the Congress. 20

THE STUDENT-FACULTY CONGRESS THE Student-Facul ty Congress is the supreme governing body on the campus. AH organizations and committees are definitely connected with the Congress, the membership of which includes twelve faculty members who are advisers for the twelve major interests and activities of students, and eighteen student representatives from eighteen interest groups on the campus. So far as possible, the Congress does not interfere with matters which concern a single interest group on the campus. When two or more activities or groups are concerned, the Congress has the power to legislate.
