Within the context of the university there exists and operates what could also be called a community. This internal community works on the same principles as any other community, with one distinct feature, it is managed by students. The government, judiciary systems, various groups and organizations are all regulated by students. Very few, if any, decisions made at the university which directly affect students are not made exclusively by the students. The opportunity exists for any and all students to actively participate in the causes and effects of their environment. All that a student need do is step forward and become involved. Surprisingly enough, it is that simple and the results achieved for the participation are truly rewarding and invaluable. The following pages are devoted to those groups and organizations that were mot influential in SIVIU's daily operations.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT The STUDENT GOVERNMENT functions on the SMU campus through the STUDENT SENATE. The Senate represents all students by popular election. Each individual class receives 3 representativesg each college receives a number of representatives based on their enrollment. Every position becomes available each year and presiding Senators must run for re-election each spring. The Senate body acts as the voice of the students in school affairs as members are appointed by the Senate President to serve on various faculty and administrative committees. lt is the Senate's responsibility to allocate the student fees to the various clubs, organizations and activities on campus. Each year, these clubs and organizations go before the Senate Finance Committee with their requests for allocations for the academic year. The Committee reviews the club 's proposed budget and past performance and then makes an allocation reccomendation. During the year a club may request additional monies and receive their request if the Senate approves their presentation. my 'A 5 at - H Y , .
