BILL LUC Chief Justice Judges Hear Major Appeals HEARING APPEALS from both the student body president and the Senate, the judiciary maintains a completely unbiased attitude while interpreting decisions. This branch is composed of five Associated Students Justices, one elected chief justice and four appointed associate justices. The structure of the judiciary is patterned after the Supreme Court of the United States. In all matters pertinent to the provisions of the A. S. Constitution and its By-Laws, the judicial branch has absolute authority. ASSOCIATE JUSTICES are Bill Bennett. Gene Borgna, Bill Luc (Chief), Dick Reese, and Dick Ross. SCRUTINIZING THE FINAN- CIAL MATTERS of the Associated Students is the primary purpose of the Board of Control, which functions under the executive branch. The board also supervises administrative and per- sonnel matters. This fiscal-personnel regulatory body meets once a week to discuss student body problems. Its membership in- cludes four students and two faculty- administrators. The A. S. treasurer serves as chairman of the board. MEMBERS of the Board of Control are Bill Tilney, Dennis Hasty. Glenda Cuthbertson, Bob Patcha. and Mr. Vernon Metzger (adviser). 17

COMMISSIONS may well be termed the administrative branch of the Associated Students, for it is through them that most of the events on the A.S. calendar come to life. Commissions usually op- erate the year around within a broad area of campus life—the social affairs commission, for ex- ample. Commissions are headed by commissioners who are ap- pointed by the executive branch of the student government. These appointees in turn choose their own personnel.
