DeLong, Bogden Second Row: Nichols, Woodard. Hunter, Haak, Clark, Morley, Cordon, Askwith Front Row: Brown, SchiavonI, Homan, Hamill, Phillips, Leonard, Lamb The Women ' s Student Senate, together with the Men ' s Senate, supervises all undergraduate activities. Beginning in the early nineties as a student council, the organization grew as the interest in student government increased. With thirty-six years of continuous service it has gained an eminent position on the campus. The Senate regulates the conduct of women students in all matters which do not come under the jurisdiction of the faculty. Aside from its administrative and legislative duties, it also carries on a varied program relating to student affairs. Every woman automatically becomes a member of W. S. S. and is represented in student government through the president of her House Croup. The rules are reconsidered annually on the basis of student opinion conveyed to the Senate. The Women ' s Student Court was established in 1 932 for the purpose of judging cases involv- ing violations of University and Women ' s Student Senate rules and determining suitable penalties for such violations. In every decision the court is dedicated to the service of the individual girl. This body also functions in fostering the understanding and observance of rules and in studying campus problems relating to women students. Representation on the court from each college is determined according to the enrollment. A list of senior women is submitted by each dean and from these lists the ten judges, to- gether with the chief justice, are chosen by the Executive Committee. These women, to- gether with Dean Leonard and a faculty advisor, comprise the personnel of the judicial body for the ensuing year. The President of the Senate attends the meetings as an ex-officio.

Student government is absolutely essential for the promotion of friendly cooperation between our student and administrative bodies. The successful harmony of these two groups in past years makes me feel quite certain that both of these bodies have done their share in securing the well-being of this organization. Ronald Phillips Ronald Phillips, president of the Syracuse University Student Body, otherwise known to his colleagues as Ronnie, entered the College of Business Administration after the completion of his work at Syracuse Central High School and Cook Academy. While at Central High he played varsity football, basketball, and lacrosse. In addition to these he captained the football and lacrosse teams, was chosen for the All-City football and basketball teams, and was an important man on the basketball team which won the state championship. After graduating from Central High he attended Cook Academy at Montour Falls, N. Y. There he captained the basketball and tennis teams, besides participating in football and track. He was a member of the basketball team which won the Eastern Prep school tourna- ment at Philadelphia and the National Prep school title at Madison, Wis. in 1928-29. In 1930 he again played on the quintet which won the Eastern States tour- nament at Clens Falls, N. Y. In addition to these honors he was chosen to play on the team which w ent to South America as the guests of the Venezuelan government to play and teach basketball. To climax his extra-curricular activities he was elected president of the Student Council and of the Senior Class. Ronnie entered Syracuse in the fall of 1930 and became a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. He has continued to show his executive ability by being a member of the Fresh- man, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Executive Committees, president of his class in 1932, and chairman of the junior Prom Committee. Along with these honors he was selected as the Best All-Around Student in 1933 and finally gained the coveted position of Student Body president. Not only did he confine himself to social activities, but he also captained that renowned court team which played nineteen games without being defeated. Ronnie is a member of Phi Kappa Alpha, Senior honorary society, and was active in Monx Head, a Junior honorary society. RONALD PHILLIPS student Body President The Men ' s Student Senate is an elected body, composed of representatives from all colleges of the University. It has complete jurisdiction over men students and acts in conjunction with the Women ' s Student Senate in affairs which concern both men and women students. The chief purpose of this body is to promote the general welfare of the students by foster- ing University customs and traditions. By acting as an intermediary, the Senate tends to promote better relations between the Faculty and students. Each year the Senate has charge of class and university elections and rushes, as well as assisting in many other student ac- tivities. Student government has improved greatly at Syracuse and, with the cooperation of the students in the future, much more can be expected of this organization. Hcrdines, De Felice. Wohl, Moses.
