STUDENT LEGISLATURE Better student government was the motive of the Student Legislature this year. President Jerry Monroe gave a view of the year’s work in the first meeting. Though the legislature realized the inadequacy of the old constitution, it decided to enforce the laws as they stood. One example of this was the charter issue. JERRy MONROE President The Legislature has started work on a joint constitution with the Women’s Council. As it stands, the new constitution will not be presented for ratification by the student body until next year. The student body first must vote to have a joint constitution. At present the Legislature is amending the entire men’s constitution. The student body budget was approved by the Legislature with the stipulation that the surplus fund was to be spent- only with the approval of the Legislature. Left to Right: RICHARD ARCHESI.

Tours of the campus and discussions of regulations and organizations served, we hope, to familiarize the new students with our campus. The program was directed by Bob Deaton, vice-president of the student body.

Members of the Freshman Advisory Board of 1954 made history in that they were the last group of student leaders to accompany the freshmen on the traditional three-day orientation session at Caesar’s Head. Several days after the yellow busses had brought the girls back down the mountain, the historic Caesar's Head Hotel burned, ending a fifteen-year tradition of orientation sessions at that beloved spot. With Dee Riles, vice-president of the student body, presiding, members of the Board got the class of 1958 off to a good start with advice about regulations, traditions, and the Furman spirit. Members of the Board were: Sally Watson, Mary Lane Cleland, Hilda King, Jeanne Saunders, Ann Baldwin, Rebecca Taylor, Frances Skelton, Marlene Campbell, Kay McGee, May Frances Bailey, Cathy Hunter, Janie Wood, Joyce Flynn, Sara Ruth Higgins, Sara Galloway, Barbara Smith, Anita Heckle, Emma Jean Walker, Elneda Padgett, Ann Marie Phillips, Sara Lou Lever, Nell Harding, Nancy McManaway, Pat Smith, and Margaret Riddle. 20
