EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Executive Council is the planning body of College Government Associations; its membership is made up of the ten major officers elected by the students; it serves as a clearing house for student opinion and the nucleus of student government participation. The form of student government which Executive Council of College Government Association represents is the result of the desire of the student body to assume responsibility for their conduct and code. By an agree- ment made between the faculty and the students, college authorities pledged to support the students and the student Association promised to cooperate with the president and faculty in maintaining high scholarship and standards. Chief among the responsibilities which the student body assumed when it accepted the privileges of College Government Association is to make to the school some valuable personal contribution in order to show proper appreciation for what it has done for them as students, collectively and individually. Executive Council for the year ' 42 - ' 43 consisted of Alice Price, President of College Government Association; Jere Tur- ner, First Vice President; Marjorie Lambert, Second Vice President; Ruth Wisdom, Third Vice President; Jean Corry, Secretary; Alice Ludlam, Treasurer; Peggy Barker, Chairman of Judiciary; Mary Lou King, Freshman Advisor; Wilma Smith, Chairman of Residence Halls Committee, and Carolyn Stowell. Chairman of Off-Campus Committee. I 20 I

It also serves as a reviewing body on all judicial decisions recommending the severest penalties, full restrictions, judicial probation. College Government probation, and withdrawal. It is also the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs which must make such ticklish decisions as granting or denying a student ' s request to re-enter after withdrawal for disciplinary reasons.

JUDICIARY The highest court of justice on the campus is the Judiciary, which deals with infractions of major college regulations and with such cases as are referred from the lower courts, the Residence Halls and the Off-Campus Committee. Stern but just, their severest penalties are subject to reviewal by the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs, to which the Judiciary also regularly reports on the problems and progress of the work in the department. To the Judiciary and especially to its this year ' s Chairman, Peggy Barker, the student body owes its new Honor Code. In an effort to accomplish on this campus what has been ac- complished at Florida ' s other state school, the University at Gainesville, there was begun this year a transition from the system of student government in which policing powers are emphasized to that type in which individual responsibility and honor are emphasized. Chairman Peggy Barker ' s Committee consisted of the Sue Chaires and Martha Ellen Hackl, Senior Representatives; Jane Orr Allin, Mildred Woodberry, and Peggy Lee Walker, Junior Representatives; Cordelia Barclay and Mary Lucy Mendenhall, Sophomore Representatives; Wilma Smith, Chairman of Resi- dence Hall Committee; Carolyn Stowell, Chairman of Off- Campu Committee; Alice Price, President of College Govern- ment Association, ex-officio, and Mary Lou King, Freshman Advisor, ex-officio.
