For two years Keith Swenson, as Tribunal chancellor, has guided eight justices to student discipline decisions. Tribunal Takes Action On Violations of College Rules Judicial powers of the Student Governing Associa- tion lie with Tribunal, which is composed of six stu- dent justices, one from each school, and three faculty justices appointed by President McCain. Justices are nominated by their respective school councils, and the President approves them for membership. Maximum term of office for the justices is three years, and no justice may serve in any other student government office when he is yet a member of Tri- bunal. Tribunal meets once every two weeks to consider instances where disregard for College rules, dishon- esty, immorality, destructiveness, violation of the rights of others or deceit may be in evidence. It con- cerns itself mainly with upholding the K-State Honor Code established by the Student Council to promote good student citizenship. Violations of the Code are tried in secret behind closed doors unless a public trial is requested by the defendant. Decisions are submitted to the President for approval and then re- ferred to the dean of students for action. Responsi- bility for interpreting the SGA constitution also falls under Tribunal jurisdiction. Keith Swenson served his second year as chancel- lor, Barbara David was clerk, and Fran Meegan was attorney general. 29
