THE APPORTIONING BOARD an--'-' Divis, Gragg. Hefley, Kline, Boone, Marsh Student Apportioning . oard ORYlI,I.I: Kristi W'n,i .neo Booxii ilihe Student Alwpoi'tioi1i1i5g Board of Uklahoma City Universitv represents as its objective a most democratic purpose, the greatest good to the greatest number. Certain departments and institutions are recognized as necessary to a complete college life. These are nanielyg the Student Council, a periodical campus paper, a vear book and an active Y. VV. C. A. and Y. Nl. C. A. These departments are maintained through the student funds. These funds are handled and apportioned in yearly budf gets from the activity fee which the students pay at the bcginning of each semester. The formation of the Apportioning lloard was the result ot the efforts of Horace Robinson and Victor YVillf ianis, former students. It was originally formed to insure the publication of a year book. As the success of the board became apparent the budgeting of other campus activities was entrusted to the hoard. All of the student fees were put into one activity fee which led to a great ....Cbr11rmf111 .....Serre1m'y simplification of matters. All of the above named activities are now financed tlirough the Student Apportioning board by means of the t t student activity fees. This board was started as an experiment under the close watch of the Board ot Trustees and thc faculty. The books are checked every mouth by a faculty representaf tive. It is the general opinion that more good is given to the greatest number of students by means of this Board. The agencies served by this hoard all Work toward serving the students in their respective capacities. The trust vest- ed in this body is justified and deserved. lVlenibership on this board is held by four students, a president and a secretary, who may or may not be a voting member. lflection by the Student Council gives the members their positions. 4281 '

THE STUDENT COUNCIL Chaffin Maril Hand Bragg Kline Osburn Rose Hoggard Dessauer he 1936 Student Council i OFFICERS ORVILLE KLINE BILL IVIARIL ,,77... . ELEANOR Osnuiw .,77 PAYE BRAGG ,,C, HThe purpose of the Student Council is to develop self expression and self control on the part of the student body, to promote loyalty to the university, and in particu- lar to have charge of all matters concerning the conduct of the students in their college life, excepting academic activities directly under the control of the administration and things which pertain to the general administrative pol- icy of the schoolf, This shows the council to be a media- tive agent for the best interests of the school between out- side influence and the faculty. It represents a working nucleus of the student body as a whole. As a center of student government the council handles all inter- and intra-scholastic matters that may arise. The usual current business of the council is the con- C275 ,,,,.Pre.vident ...,,,,Vice-President ,,i.,,Secremry .....Trens14rer duction of school elections. These are to be as demof cratic and non-partisan as possible. The Council has been very efficient this year in enforcing such rules as are vital to this type of fair and un-biased election. Voting and counting of ballots is done by an election committee from the Council with the help of a faculty member. Eight members and a president make up the Student Council. The three lower classes elect two representatives in the latter Part of the spring semester, the two freshman members are elected in the early fall. The work of the Student Council is not so much a fluctuating instigator of projects as it is a continuous de- dication to the responsibilities alloted to it in its consti- tutional powers.

The answer to this need came in the form of the Student Dance Board. The constitution bears the influ- ence of all the factions interested in the movement. It is probably for that reason that it has been as well pro- pagated as it has. Patience and cooperation on the part of all concerned have made it a prominent success and a solution to an obvious problem. There were, at the outset, many infractions of the rules and by-laws of the Constitution. These were in! vestigated by a committee from the board and if reported C293 serious were referred back ro the hoard and the organiza- tion charged with breaking the rules was given a formal trial. This method was not as satisfactory as it was hoped and the formal trial of an organization was done away with, being replaced by a committee from the board and the faculty who decided to what extent the rules were broken and what should be clone about it. This method is now in use, however there have been no calls made upon it in the past year. The Dance Board this year has been successful in giving all-school dances. These functions have been only an ideal in the minds of several of the members for some time but not until this year have they been successfully arranged.
