Junior Board Supreme Court New Groups Provide Governmental Experience The newly formed Junior Board of Education is the student parallel of the Board of Education. Four of the fourteen member Jr. Board were from San Marcos, the other members were rep- resentatives of the other three S.B. high schools. Although their main function was an advisory capacity to the Board of Education, the change in hair regulations for boys and the single lunch on the SM campus can be directly attributed to this group. Formed by an amendment to the ASB Constitution during the 68-69 year, the Student Supreme Court got underway this year. Justices were from each class, three seniors, one junior, and one sophomore. The Supreme Court had final authority over all con- troversies that arose in the student government. ffMa I ! 14 W Two of SM Junior Board members listen attentively at a meetin.t;.

House members listen to arguments pro and con for the Nomination Convention. I propose an amendment to the amendment of the motion now on the floor. (Mike Vandertooren) Speaker J. Burj;ess (2nd Sem.) House Of Representatives House Works Against Great Odds For Success The 1969-70 House of Representatives struggled under a num- ber of difficulties to pass legislation. Working in a disorderly atmos- phere, the SM student leaders pushed club budgets through, got the Election Code changed and had appointments to positions ap- proved. This year there were two speakers: Larr) ' Kramer (1st semester); John Burgess (2nd semester). The general state of the House was summarized by John Burgess when he made the following query: Are there any members of the House who have a copy of the minutes of the last meeting? We can ' t seem to find one! During the second semester a Nomination Convention idea was presented to the House as a change in the election procedures. The convention idea caused havoc because no one could decide whether they wanted a convention. The 1969-70 year was a frustrating one for many members of the House due to the slow and tedious process to get something accomplished. These members, however, stuck it out because they cared about the House, about student government, and about San Marcos. These are the students who will care as adults and they are the hope we now have for a successful futu re. 37 S
