STUDENT-FACULTY FEDERATION The student government organization at Evansville College has been very successful during the past year accomplishing the desired high quality of cooperation and understanding between the faculty and student body of the college in regard to all problems of the school life. The Student-Faculty Federation at Evansville College functions through the Administrative Board and the eight committees. These eight committees consist of three faculty members and three student members. Each committee takes charge of all activities falling under the head of their particular group, such as: Athletics, Fine Arts, Promotion and Public Occasions, Pub¬ lic Speech, Publications, Religious Life, Social Life, and Wel¬ fare. One faculty member in each group serves as a chairman for that group with one student member serving as vice- chairman. This past year has been an unusually active one. Due to a crisis when the president of the Student Association withdrew from school after the first few weeks of the fall semester, several amendments to the Student Association Constitution were passed remedying the situation and providing that no such situation would arise in the future. One of these amend¬ ments provides for a special election to be conducted by the Student Council, the student members of all the various com¬ mittees and the officers of the Student Association, in the case of a vacancy in the presidency. Another amendment provided that both candidates for the Student Association offices should be elected in the primary instead of one of the two being ap¬ pointed by the Election Board, composed of the outgoing officers plus the defeated candidates of the last election, as was for¬ merly the case. The third amendment made it possible for any inefficient Student-Faculty Federation Committee member to be removed from a committee upon the majority vote of the mem¬ bers of that committee. Several by-laws were also passed deal¬ ing with details of these amendments. The committees themselves also had a very active year. New contracts with the various social societies upon the dancing question, a new program of matinee dances, and new men’s pledging rules were the outstanding contribution of the Social Committee. The recognition of debate and oratory activities in the form of gifts of five dollars to all eligible students for the entrance fee to Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary oration and debate fraternity, was passed by the Public Speech Committee.
