With members appointed by the Student Council, this organization sponsors movies, dancing lessons, and many other all-College activities that are usually free of charge to the student body. The two biggest projects of the committee this year were the two name band dances. In December Billy May played at the combined name band dance and Royal Purple ball, and in March Woody Herman visited the campus to entertain. Jean Sheets was chairman of the committee and Prof. Stuart Whitcomb and Philip Sorensen are faculty advisors. 27 The details of the plans and architectural aspects of the new Student Union have been discussed and de- cided upon by the Student Union planning committee. This group operates under the auspices of the Faculty Senate, and is a sub-committee of the committees on physical facilities and campus development. Faculty members are appointed by the Senate, and Dean A. L. Pugsley is chairman. Other faculty members are Prof. Leone Kell, Prof. Stuart Whitcomb, Prof. Paul Weigel, Dean Craig, Dean Moore, and Philip Sorensen. The six student members are appointed by the Student Council. The work of this committee will not be completed un- til the Union is an actual functioning part of the campus.

Groups Handle Funds, Dances, Disciplinary problems of the College go to the judi- cial branch of student government, the Tribunal. Deter- mining parking violations, enforcing the honor code, and carrying out the academic honesty program are the responsibilities of this group. Since the Tribunal was first organized in 1952, most of its business has con- cerned traffic tickets and other parking violations on the campus. Decisions of the Tribunal must be approved by President McCain. Set up in a manner similar to the national judicial board, the nine justices are appointed by the President from nominations submitted by each school council. Roger Brislawn has served as chan- cellor for the Tribunal since it was begun. A presidential committee with important duties is the Apportionment Board, which has the responsibility of planning and regulating the distribution of student activity fees from the College budget. Members are nominated by the Student Council and are appointed by the President. John Schovee, president of the student body, automatically served as ex-officio chairman. Four faculty members and three other student members com- prise the board. The biggest apportionments each year are alloted to athletics and student publications. Sev- eral of the other activities receiving funds are the band, orchestra, judging teams, K-State Players, and Lift Week. However, any activity may request funds. 26
