Those students who undertook the task were headed by Bernard Pearce during the Winter quarter and Frank Hayes during the Spring quarter. The new constitution alters the position of the executive committee. A new committee, known as the advisory board, consisting of the officers of the association, a moderator to be appointed by the president of the College, and three representatives from each class who were to be chosen by the association at the annual election, is to function in its place. The advisory board takes charge of all elections and in general considers the welfare of the students of the College. It meets, as did the executive committee, previous to the meeting of the association. The board makes no recommendations and concerns itself only with preparing business for the student association meetings. A new body to be known as the judicial board is composed of three members: one junior, one senior, and one sophomore. Each member is to be chosen during his sophomore year for a three-year term. However, for the initial establishment of this body, one member from each of the above classes is to be chosen at the same time. The positions are to be filled from those students who rank highest in an examination to be given covering the constitution and its by-laws. The judicial board will require all officers to comply with the constitution and by-laws. It will decide on all questions arising from the document. The decisions rendered by the board will be considered final. The officers for the scholastic term of 1937-38 were elected on May 14. Edwin McCullough was elected president; James Hurson. vice-president: Betty Williams, secretary; and Daniel Corrigan, sergeant-at-arms. 17

THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR of 1936-1937 found Robert L. Smith, of the doss of '37, guiding the destinies of the Associoted Students of Seattle College, under a constitution devised and adopted by the association on February 8. 1935. Officers chosen for this year besides Mr. Smith, were Edwin McCullough, vice-president; Angelo Young, secretary; William Miller, treasurer; and Robert Richards, sergeant-at-arms. The constitution provided for a body of students to be known as the executive committee, which was to prepare business of greater importance to be presented at student body meetings. The personnel of the executive committee this year included, besides the association officers, two representatives from each class, chosen by the classes themselves. The senior class named Frank Taylor and Helena Brand; the junior class. Robert McClaire and Jean Collman; the sophomore class, John Peter and Janet Granger; the freshman class, Joseph LeGrande and Blanche Mitchell. The method followed by the executive committee provided for equal representation of all the classes. Before each committee meeting class meetings were held at which the students discussed the actions which would probably be handled by the executive committee. Various opinions were given, and candidates for positions were chosen, with the under- standing that the class representatives would place them before the committee, and thus equal voice would be given to all. The committee voted on all major proposals, then through its report given at student body meetings by the vice-president, presented the results to the students, who were to pass on all recommendations. Various tasks undertaken by the executive committee this year in the way of facilitating the business of the student body meetings were: the recommendation of co-chairmen for the seasonal informal: the recommendation of the chairmen for College Night, Homecoming, and Commencement; the naming of the editor and business manager of the Yearbook; and the awarding of sweaters to the winning lettermen. The students felt, however, that the constitution required alteration in order to overcome difficulties which arose during meetings due to the action of the executive committee. The president appointed a committee which was to revise the constitution, or. if necessary, frame a new one. The committee met several times in the space of five months, working diligently to fashion a guide which would meet the requirements of the present student body, and yet allow for the needs of the future. On April 30, the students unanimously accepted the constitution given as the report of the constitution committee. !} f' I b
