AWS Senate reorganizes to distribute jobs; Court supervises no hours for seniors Many changes in the structure and policies of Associated Women Students have made this year ' s organization more effective and broader in scope than ever before. As a result of reorganization, the AWS Senate members no longer act as chairmen of the prin- cipal AWS functions. This year for the first time these chairmen have been selected by the Senate from campus women at large, and Senate members have been free to discuss and effect policy changes. The House of Representatives has been greatly broadened in membership to include a representa- tive from every women ' s living unit. AWS Judiciary Court continued its policy of automatic penalties for infractions of AWS rules and established a new system of spot checking sign-out slips. A major change in the rules gov- erning women occurred when the No Hours for Senior Women program was instituted last spring. All those legs, knees and bermudas belong to the ladies of Baur Hall who took first in the annual AWS Dorm Songfest! Congratulations!

Richard W. Olde, genial ASU . president from Denver, kept abreast of student opinion throughout th year and acted as spokesman for the students at meetings of the A.-lministration and the Board of Regents. ASUC ASVC favors education over a time limit to eliminate discrimination ASUC, headed by Dick Olde, unanimously backed the Student Organizations and Social Life recommendation to the Board of Regents barring any new organization with discriminatory clauses and favoring an educational method of removing the clauses of groups now on campus. This action followed a proposal by Vance Austin to set a 1960 deadline for all campus social fraternities to re- move the clauses from their constitutions. ASUC concentrated on an improved parking plan, an organized Civil Defense program, and contimied research on the student chapel. ASUC recommended changes in the chaperone clause of the Social Code pertaining to the apartment ruling which affects University women. ASUC ' s other projects this year included send- ing the band to Oklahoma, sponsoring the ISA activity interest program, revising the Student Court selection procedure, and sponsoring two Erlangen exchange students. ASUC also approved the purchase of a new s ound system for pep rallies, allocated money to the Student Veterans ' Associa- tion, underwrote the publication of Ept, and set up a definite policy concerning commission ap- pointment procedures.
