Secretary HE Student Apportioning board, which handles the spending of approx- imately 55,000 each year, in student money, came into being in l930 as an administration acknowledgement of the fact that those Who pay activity fees should determine how those fees are spent. Horace Robinson, student council president at the time, conceived the idea and put it into effect. Only Scarabian institutions representative of the entire student body may share in the activity budget. These are the Student Council, The Scarab, The Campus, the Y.P.C.A., the athletic department, and the College Players. ln consideration of this grant of funds, every student who pays an activity fee is admitted Without charge to all athletic events and dramatic productions, and receives The Campus, Weekly, and The Scarab, annually. This year the Board contributed S300 toward the purchase of band uniforms. fron Man of student finance for the last two years has been Willard Boone, completing his second year as secretary of the Board and his first year as chairman, Under Boone's administration was evolved the system of allotting money to the athletic and dramatics departments, in return for the blanket admission of students paying the athletic fee. Boone is the first man to hold the chairmanship and the secretaryship at the same time. The institution of free all-school parties came under the administration of Orville Kline, two-time chairman in '35 and '30 The Board is composed of five student members and a secretary, who may or may not be a member. Members are elected for one-year terms by the Student Council and are responsible to that bodyff -Paul Bennett. es- 19 -4'

Treasurer CARABIAN student government in its most hectic year-in this manner better than in any other may the story oi the 1936-37 council be sum- marized. When Norman Glass assumed the student council presidency last Sep- tember there was nothing to foretetl the stormy passage that awaited ine ship of state, its crew, and its pilot. Elected on a reform platform, Glass early put forward a l7-point plan for reform, but amendments and blue pencils wrecked it. Before Glass could renew the campaign on another front, he and Billie Davis, Dance Board president, were removed by the committee of deans, be- cause of low grades. Thus exited the most colorful student political figure in Scarabia's short saga. Stepping into the breach, Willard Boone, senior member, and vice-presi- dent, took charge of the council and, assisted by Paul Bennett and George Kramer, directed the constitutional revisions which had been recommended. Leading points of this new document Were: ill the demand for majority elections, QZJ definition of the vice-president's functions, Q33 written ballot tor constitutional amendments, fill voluntary assumption of student dicipline, Q51 vitalization of the constitutional preamble which calls upon the council to take the initiative in developing student expression, These measures passed the student body with only two dissenting votes on Ianuary 19. With this matter over, the council started salvaging what remained of the year for constructive enterprise. ln the second semester election ordered to fill the presidency and three vacant council seats, Willard Boone, the act- ing president, Won the presidency from Virgil Downing, l5l-lU8. Carol Shaw, freshmang Hi Doty, junior, and G. Weldon Gatlin, senior, also won seats. Members serving all year Were: Boone, president and Senior class repre- sentative, Paul Bennett, Iunior class, Bob Lobaugh and Marian Buchanan, Sophomore classy and Elizabeth Preston, Freshman class,fRuy Dotv.

T reasurer ANCE BOARD meetings, at election time, are little more than an open comparison oi strength by the rival combines, but there have been few heated battles this year. Phi combine was in power when school opened, and Billie Davis was elected Dance Board prexy. When the committee ot deans removed him, twelve weeks later, Delta combine had come into power and Margaret Mitchell was elected. The Board promoted the annual Leap Week hop, and an all-school dance alter the men's and womens banquets. Scarabians were good boys and girls this year, and the Board was not forced to take any disciplinary action. Only one really big battle, other than the matter ot elections, occurred this year. It started when the Kappa Phis protested that they shouldn't have to pay any on the Leap Week dance, because none ot their boys would be asked.-Virginia Estes. 'Fr 20 H+
