r 'Of'llll-....'..'l.l i : .QTbilllllll'llllll'lllllm 4 V.- ..lnllalpyanrnrnll'. u':alh':!: yylllllllllllllllllllll We have been going through a period of readjustment, changing from the University Farm to the California Aggies, changing the insignia for our teams, etc., and things would not seem the same to the student of a few years past. We feel that we are progressing, probably a little slowly but steadily. Doubtless the one thing that points to our progress more than any- thing else is the adoption of the Honor Spirit in all our dealings. At California at Berkeley, self government, for a number of years, has rested upon a spirit of honor. The spirit and strength of that body has grown and broadened until it is known throughout the world for its efficiency and fairness. In 1922 this same system was adopted by the students at the Branch of the College of Agriculture at Davis, and since then complete trust has been placed in the students by the administration. It will take time, a period of readjustment, to make the system air tight, but it is working, working far better than any other system could hope to workaand why not? A Californian is a Californian whether at Berkeley or at Davis. W The Executive Committee The Executive Committee is the active governing and judiciary body of the A. S. U. E, having general supervision of the affairs and property of the Association. It authorizes expenditures, and approves or rejects budgets for the maintenance of the affairs and property of the Association. The committee appoints editors and managers of the California Aggie and the Rodeo; the Picnic Day Chairman, the Jitney Fair Chairman, the Publicity Manager, and the Managers of all athletic teams. It awards letters and medals, and has power to change the design of such emblems. The committee is composed of thirteen men as follows: The Student Body President and Vice-President, a Senior class representative, a J unior class representative, a Sophomore class representative and teX-officioy the President of the Freshman class, the Faculty Manager, or F aculty representative, and one representative from each of the following: Athletics, Publications, Activities, Inter-Fraternity, and Inter-Dormitory Councils. The Committee meets each Wednesday night at 7:00 iolclock in the Class Room Building. One of the most important business transactions of the past year, was an investigation of the Student Body Store. Hereto- fore the Co-operative Store was owned and operated by the Student Store at Berkeley and all dividends went to that store. It is still owned and operated by that store, but half the dividends are turned back to the A. S. U. F. This past year some twelve hundred dollars dividends were turned back to the Student Body of Davis. . A great deal of business of this character is transacted through the Executive Committee, making possible Student Government, or to a great degree simplifying it. l25l
