The Men ' s Administrdtive Commission is the organization which assists the Men ' s Student Senate in carrying out traditions and customs of the University. Its members are chosen by the Men ' s Senate and performs only those acts directed by the Senate. It also aids in student regulation but is never required to perform judicial duties. The M. A. C. is composed of five junior commissioners and one senior, who acts as chairman, and fifteen sophomores, who act as aides. It creates its own laws and rules of procedure which are subject to approval by the Men ' s Senate and submits monthly reports to that body. The Student Council of Forestry is a part in the student government organization of the Forestry College that is a link between the faculty and the activities of the students. It consists of two seniors, one of whom is president, two juniors, one of whom is secretary, automatically becoming president the following year; one graduate student, one sophomore and one freshman. The regular duties of the council pertain to such matters as: the trying of crib cases, administering the student loan fund, and consideration of similar matters involved in student-faculty relations. As a special enterprise, this year ' s council took up the project of producing a forestry song book to contain the songs of our own and other forestry colleges, as well as those pertaining to the profession and the out-of-doors in general. The Men ' s Student Senate is composed of eleven members elected from the colleges of the University. The President of the Student Body and Editor of the Daily Orange also serves as ex-officio members. This group has jurisdiction over all classes and organizations with the exception of athletics. When matters concerning both men and women students arise it works in conjunction with the Women ' s Student Senate. The chief purpose of the Men ' s Senate, is to promote the general welfare of the students and, also to act as an intermediary between faculty and students, should the occasion arise. The organization super- vises class elections, rushes, and social functions, and also acts in conjunction with the two senior honorary societies in sponsoring the annual Block S banquet, given in honor of the school ' s athletes.

Morley The Women ' s Student Senate is in its Fifty-seven years of development from tfie Women ' s League and the Women ' s Student Government Association has risen to a prominent place in the University life of this campus. In its official capacity, the Senate cooperates with the Dean of Women and the Men ' s Student Senate in the supervision of all undergraduate activities. In conjunction with its regulation of the conduct of women students, it promotes a varied program in the interdsts of women ' s affairs. Every woman upon registration in Syracuse University automatically becomes a member of W. S. S. and is held responsible for knowing, as well as strictly observing the rules. The delegates to the Senate consist of the house presidents of all living centers. The Men ' s and Women ' s Senates have jurisdiction over all class officers and organizations with the exception of athletics, which is a regular department of the University. They have broad powers and can bring about practically any change that the members consider best for the student body. In cases affecting both men and women, the Senates work jointly. While in affairs of concern to both students and the Administration, an executive committee acts, which is composed of Senate officers and the President of the Student Body, and members of the Administration. The Women ' s Student Court was established in the fall of 1932 for the purpose of governing on all infringements of W. S. S. and Administration rules and providing penalties for these infringements. The Court also studies the campus problems relting to women and recommends solutions in accordance with the University ' s rules. The Court is primarily concerned with the individual girl rather than the group. Representation on the Court is based on the enrollment in the colleges. From a list of senior women submitted by the dean of each college. Of these ten are chosen by the Dean of Women and the executive committee of the W. S. S. They, with the Dean of Women and a faculty advisor make up the governing body. The vice-president of the Senate is the Chief Justice. The president of the Senate is a member ex officio. 20
