The Students Student Government at Miami TUDENT GOVERNBIENT is each year becoming more firmly established at. hliami. There are several definite organizations Which have control of various mat- ters pertaining to student life. These bodies are the Student Senate, the Girls, Student Council, and the Student Forum. The Student Forum is made up Of the entire student body of the University, both men and women. hieetings are held once a month. Owing to the ever increasing enroll- ment it has been found that the Forum is becoming too large and unwieldly a body to trans- act any but the most important and debatable matters Which come before the student senate, Which body carefully considers all subjects discussed in the Forum. The Senate is made up of representatives from the classes of both colleges together With the class presidents. Its meetings are weekly. This body has power to enforce all student traditions, chief among Which is the Honor System, Which applies to all written tests and examinations. Violations of the Honor System are brought before the Senate, tried, and if found guilty are either suspended or hours added to graduation requirements. The enforcement of the Freshman Cap rule is also the duty of the Senate. It was discover- ed this year that adding hours to the requirements for graduation was the only effective way the senate had of punishing offenders of this rule. The executive committee of the faculty has always approved the action of the Student Senate in regards to recommenda- tion of suspension or adding hours to the graduation requirements of those Offenders 0f the Honor System and the Freshman cap rule. i The Girls, Student Council has been the most effective student governing body at Miami. Since all of the girls live in either of the two halls or in the cottages and are sub- ject to certain very definite restrictions, the activities of the Girls Student Council are, of course, much more extensive than any legislative body for men possibly could be. The restriction of social engagements is the punishment of any girl receiving a certain number of demerits for offending the rules of the Council. Although Student Government has been, and is, a success at Miami, it is only fair to state that there has been a growing feeling of disfavor in regard to the multiplicity of rules and regulations regarding Miami students, especially the women. Some Of these iiun- popular rulesh the student governing bodies are responsible for. It is this dissatisfaction that has brought the defeat and the failure to bring up certain very definite and construc- tive legislation this year. ROGER L. ROTHWELL Page Seventeen
