' - ' (i e enU The South Dakota State Board of Regents was instituted some time ago. It dates back to the original Constitution of the State of South Dakota. During this time, five persons have always been kept on hand to carry the brunt of all of the worries connected with the operation of the various state educational institutions. It was during the last session of the State Legislature, however, that this age-old constitutional apothegm was aban- doned and in its place a seven-member board was adopted. Frank Cundill and E. M. Mumford, who were appointed to the board eighteen years ago by Governor Leslie Jensen, gave the job up last year, and into their places stepped four equally capable men to fill the vacant spots on the newly formed seven-member board. These new members included Frank Gellerman, Harry Eggen, Byron Helgerson, and Lem Overpeck. Every new member on the Board of Regents is appointed by the gov- ernor of the state for a prescribed six year term; however, not until the appointment has been confirmed by the Senate does that person attain his office. The board has no regular time for meetings. They are called to con- vene by one of the state educational institution heads when occasion demands. Members remaining from the former board are Eric Heidepriem, Laurence Robinson and Mrs. Lucille Dory. 12

The Board is composed of student repre- sentatives from all five divisions of the college. John Marshman, student body presi- dent, presides over their Monday night meetings. Bill Steever is vice president. Members of the board are elected to their positions by their fellow students to represent them in the administration of nearly all of the student activities. The sizes of the divisions determine the number of representatives each division mav have on the board. Dean Volstorff, Prof. Walder, and President Headley are members of the board to coordinate its activities with the administration. Other members of the Board of Con- trol are representatives from the various councils of the campus, sitting in for music, forensics and dramatics, and pub- lications. The board may adopt by-laws that are consistent with the student association constitution and approve rules adopted by councils. They also have final say on appointments made by councils. Administration of the activity funds is another of their duties. They keep tabs on the budget and decide who should get what. 13
