Here offenders plead their cases, before a group of elected representatives, to receive either a sentence or an acquittal. By tradition the Vice-president of the Student Government automatically assumes the duties of chief justice of the court, and with the Dean acting as advisor, the court this year was in session every other Thursday. The body of the court is composed of three freshman representatives, three senior representatives, and the four senior class officers. It has always been one of the aspirations in progressive education to place into the hands of the students themselves the responsibility of metering out justice and to govern with impartiality, tolerance, and maturity. l STUDENT Cf UI T Page ninety-one
