They used to joke about the changing ad- ministrations of South American countries, but the government of the Associated Stu- dents of San Francisco State has outchanged the recurrent revolutionary and counterrevo- lutionary regimes of our southern neighbors. Six constitutions in five years is the record claimed by the student body of this college, and when Bob Sweeney was elected president last year, he soon discovered the newest liter- ary effort of the Executive Board Centitled: The Conftitutionj being Hagrantly violated. Under the executives of the Student Body CPresident Sweeney, Vice-President Peggy Smith, Secretary Dena Witte, Treasurer Fred Klineb, the main activity of the Executive Board has this year been to establish a work- EXECUTIVE BOARD OFFICERS Q I.

Working on a three-point policy, Sweeney enforced the Constitution, integrated all clubs with the Associated Stu- dents and each other, advertised the college locally and nationally. A shakeup hit the campus, shook several student body organizations to the very foun- dations, and provided a scholarly step forward when Sweeney's board conducted an exten- sive investigation of student body activities and organizations, checking the grade aver- ages of all students involved. Hardest hit by the shakeup was the Foren- sic Council C president, manager removed from ofliceb, Publications Cassociate editor removedj, and Executive Board itself Ctwo class presidents, one representative removedj.

HAROLD IVIARTIN The man behind the neu-us. Dublin Relations Alumni of San Francisco State Who Have Made Goodf if and when it is ever published, will necessarily have an honor position dedi- cated to Harold Martin, State's Director of Pub- lic Relations. Taking over the department when it was first organized in 1956, Martin has since spent his entire time publicizing the college through press releases, photographs and publicity stunts, in building his department into the most effective college news dispensing agency in the San Fran- cisco Bay Area. From a few scattered stories written by stu- dent journalists, State's publicity has grown into thousands of column inches of copy, thousands more of pictures, innumerable wire releases Cin- cluding several that reached such news organs as Time Magazinei. Beside handling the purely publicity side of State's activities, Martin has been augmenting his own department by coaching and managing golf, editing with Ed Pierce the Alumnus. aid- ing in the building campaign, taking all action shots for the Franciscan and Gater. The Alumni Association It was in 1932 that the first male students registered at the college, and it took over eight years of male prominence in undergraduate af- fairs before an alumnus could win out over an alumna and become president of the San Fran- cisco State Alumni Association. That step from being an Alumnae Associa- tion to an Alumni Association marked the be- ginning of a new regime among the graduates of the college. Interest in undergraduate sports and other activities strengthened, with the asso- ciation under the newly elected president, Ted Goldman fsee Football 2, sponsoring Homecom- ing Day, presenting a trophy for the winner of the Chico football game, holding the first an- nual Alumni-Varsity track meet, followed the next week by a doubleheader baseball game.
