Bill Troy Pr«iid«nt of th» Stud t Body STUDENT GOVERNMENT Student government at Emory and Henry College is an integral part of the campus activities, serving both student body and college administration in a wide scope of activities. President. Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer are elected each year in heated political campaigns. As chief executive the President has the duty of appointing the Chief Justice and Prosecuting Attorney of the Student Judiciary, cabinet officials, co-editors of the Student Handbook. Rat Court members, and various temporary committee chairmen. The student government officials control the Student body funds with legislature approval. It has brought within the reach of Emory and Henry students such nationally celebrated groups as the Brothers Four, the Highwaymen: and this year, in Emory's own Martin- Brock gymnasium.

It initiates and decides upon issues and projects affecting the student body: regulates distribution of student activity fees: and approves presidential appointments. In addition to the elected legislators, class presidents of the three underclasses and vice-president of the senior class serve as legislators. Any member of this body may introduce legislation. The legislature is presided over by the Vice-President of the Student Body. He has no vote. The Clerk of the House is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Student 8ody. Legislative membership provides the recognition necessary for political parties on the campus. Dan Ad arm Kan Brawler Chiaf Jwttica Protocoling Attorney JUDICIARY Headed by the Chief Justice and Prosecuting Attorney, the Judiciary provides an effective means for dealing with all male students' disciplinary problems excepting morals cases. The Judiciary is composed of justices elected from each hall in the men's dormitories. These justices provide residence halls with monitors: and they act as a jury should a trial be held. The Judiciary has a large responsibility in the effectiveness of the student government and has become a point of respect for Emory and Henry's student government. 103
