Student Court in Session: Front: Grant Napier, Defense Council, and John Fields, Prosecutor. Back: Bill Crews, Kay Roberts, Walt Ken- nedy, Tom Payne, Chief Justice, Walt Ash, Jerry Hanna, Bob Schaefer, Jonoll Rake, Secretary. After the complicated mechanism of the All-Student Council has been set up in the spring and early fall, busi- ness begins. Bills are introduced for consideration as laws pertaining to student life. In order to become a law, a bill after two readings in both the Senate and House, must receive a majority vote in both houses. Some business has already been dealt with this year. The Campus Chest Charity Drive, headed by Bill Sayler, has been reorganized and the date changed. Forrest Hoglund ' s Athletic Seating Committee has gained additional good seats for students in Memorial Stadium and Squat Magazine has been established as an official humor publication. A Student Health Commission whose chairman is Vic Viola is endeavoring to improve student-Watkins Hospital rela- tions. The plan to charge for Student Directories has been rejected; while fines and traffic regulations have been revised. Many projects which are now being developed will soon become issues. Research is being made and steps taken to establish a 75c minimum wage for students, the problem of housing for married students is being con- sidered, and best of all, the possibility of a floating holiday is being discussed. This year, the scholarship committee will conduct a student-teacher evaluation. Forms will be distributed each semester so that each student may anony- mously express his opinion of his instructors, and results will be tallied. The possibilities of affiliating with the National Student Association and the World University Service are soon to be debated. The All-Student Council this year consists of a group of people who have resolved petty political jealousies and are striving to function as an efficient unit. This revitalized group governs the student body with responsibility to the students foremost. ASC Advisors: Kenneth Beasley, Howard Bum- gartel, William Scott, Walter Mikols, James Drury, J. Neale Carman. Not in picture: George Beckmann, Joie Stapleton. 28

Social organizations such as ISA, Inter- national Club, and Mortar Board may also receive funds. Allotments are made to service organizations like tradi- tions, Student Directory, and the K-Book, also. The ASC, AWS, and similar administrative groups are included with other organizations in the budget. To perform the numerous functions of Student Govern- ment, many departments and committees are necessary. After the all-school election each spring, the All-Student Council must be reorganized for the following year. Per- haps the most important of the numerous presidential appointments is the Committee on Committees. This group, currently under Bob Pope ' s chairmanship, organizes the combined committees of both houses and supervises their operation. Important vice-presidential appointments include secretaries of the Departments of Student Welfare and Student Activities. Jim B. Miller and Ted Ice are now chairmen of these respective departments. The Student Court is nominated by the ASC president and presented to both the Senate and House of Representa- tive s for approval, with the exception of the Chief Justice who is appointed by the Dean of the Law School. Six Associate Justices are selected in addition to the Chief Justice. Generally, all court members are law students. This year, one Associate Justice, Walt Kennedy, will graduate in February and his position will be filled by Tom Phoenix, a pre-law student. The court handles all cases involving a violation of ASC rules. The Student Court has the right to determine fines and penalties. Dealing with traffic viola- tions has been a major function of the court. When an appeal is filed, a formal court session is held, complete with Prosecutor John Fields and Defense Counsel Grant Napier. The case is then judged by the court members and a decision made. House Members: Benny Anderson, Dick Berger, Thor Bogren, Gene Coombs, Marsh Crouthers, Clayton Durr, Pat Ellis, Marcia Fink, Warren George, Roy Gridley, Jan Hartell, Ray Krahen- buhl, Carol Mather, Crandall Melia, Jim M.

Associated Women Students OFFICERS Dottie Sheets, President Carol. Mather, Vice President Megan Lloyd, Secretary Joy Immer, Treasurer Jean Eckles, Ona Finney, Amy Kipp, Edie Jochims, Dottie Sheets, Carol Mather, Megan Lloyd, Sandra James, Barbara Anderson, Eleanor Hawkinson. EVERY woman student enrolled in the University of Kansas is a member of the Associated Women Students. Auto- matically, upon enrollment in the university, she is subject to the rules of AWS and eligible for its benefits. She is a member of an organization which attempts in every way possible to promote activities and considerations which will help women to feel more at home on the KU campus, to enjoy fully their college life, and to develop their worth as individuals. Administration of AWS is divided between the Senate and the House of Representatives—the same bicameral system used by the Student Council. The combined houses make all rules and regulations concerning university women, and have the power to enforce them. The AWS Senate is composed of fifteen members: The president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, two Better Student Government chairmen, the six defeated candidates for the offices, one representative from the House, and two freshmen women representatives. The AWS House of Representatives is composed of one representative and one alternate from each organized house with the exception of Corbin and North College Halls, which are allowed two representatives each because of their larger population. AWS sponsors High School Leadership Day, an activity which provides high school girls with an opportunity to see KU in action. Once a year Kansas high school girls are invited to send one of their outstanding senior women to KU for a weekend. Plans are made for the girls to take part in panel discussions, meet many KU women, hear talks by the Dean of Women, Martha Peterson, and Chancellor Murphy, and to attend KU ' s annual Rock Chalk Revue. All Women ' s Day, another AWS activity, is an annual event designed as an opportunity for all KU women to Front Row: Janet Jones, Julie Purcell, Polly Peppercorn, Ona Finney, Marjorye Baylor, Dale Barham, Linda Lemon, Sheila Dye, Sue Wesley, Barbara Sample, Billie Ann Dowdell.
