ASSOCIATED STUDENTS COUNCIL Legislative knots and parliamentary entanglements were duly worked over as the coimcil of the Associated Students met every Thursday night during the past year. Debate waxed warm as vital issues were raised and the gavel of A.S. Presi- dent Jack Richards was kept busy maintaining order and res- training political ardor. Recommendations oi the Council received almost as much attention as some oi the legislation adopted; outstanding ven- tures taken were rejection by the Council of California Legisla- ture Bill 1931, the proposal which would have made oi the College a branch of the University of California; a recommen- dation to the Faculty Athletic Committee that State College sign no athletic contracts in which discrimination against Negro players was made. Old Man Budget was passed with a very miniTnnm of bickering, and an attempted coup at the student body budget meeting was nipped in the bud. Revision of the Speech Control Board to include as a voting member the chcdnnan of the Fin- ance committee and to pass on all financial matters itself came under later legislation. What was considered apathy at the beginning of the year by campus critics turned out to be inexperience as the still wet- behind-the-ears council took over in September; by May, a smooth legislative machine was rolling, quibbling was at c f minimum and business strictly attended to.
