GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE members (above) are Hobart Lutz, Dean Seegert, Colleen Cain, Joyce Robinson, and Elaine Lashley. Jim Sterett was absent when this picture was taken. The Grievance Committee is the newest of the com¬ mittees constituting the Student Faculty Federation. It was organized when the present officers of the SGA felt the need of such a body. The duty of the committee is to be a sounding board for any controversy involving a student in which he feels he has been wronged and is seeking redress. Grievances from the students are presented to the committee. Appropriate action is then promptly taken. ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD (below) is the final authority in matters of general administration. It also handles points of discipline on the campus. This group is the high point in the Student Faculty Federation as it operates here. The nine committees which make up the Student Government Association are directly responsible to the Administrative Board. All Federation committees likewise have to answer to the Board. Members, left to right, are Jim Fowler, Lincoln B. Hale, Bill Russler, Marylu Plane, James E. Morlock, Miss Esther Brown, E. M. McKown, and Jeff Hays. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 13

STUDENT GOVERNMENT CONTINUED SGA HAS ACTIVE YEAR ON CAMPUS In May, 1949, after the annual all¬ school election, the reins of the student government were turned over to Bill Russler by Jim Barnett, the outgoing president. Mr. Russler was joined in of¬ fice by Jim Fowler, vice president, Marylu Plane, secretary, and Jeff Hays, treasurer. These were the officers who would lead the student branch of the Student-Faculty Federation for the 1949-1950 school year. These four stu¬ dents serve with the president of the college and the three deans on the Ad¬ ministrative Board. In addition, they head the Student Council. In these posi¬ tions, they are the representatives of the student body in the conduct of college affairs. In keeping with past performance, the Administrative Board and the Student Council have, in cooperation with the various campus organizations, instituted needed changes in regulations as they have come into view through the ad¬ vancement of the college. The most re¬ cent changes were the permanent ad¬ dition of a vice president to the group of student officers and the elimination of compulsory assemblies. The first of these changes was made in order that the burden of the office of president might be divided and lightened. In operation, this plan has proved itself more efficient than the old system. The elimination of compulsory assemblies was carried out in accordance with the general growth of the college. Th e time left free by this step allows for a more varied pattern of on-campus activities. Among the ac¬ complishments of the Student Council during the past year, the solution of the campus parking problem is outstanding. By a thorough survey, followed with an intelligent presentation of the problem to the student body, this group settled the issue efficiently and to the satisfac¬ tion of most of those concerned. The Student Government Association of Evansville College is known in the Midwest as one of the few systems by which the students can have a fair voice in college administration. Since its in¬ ception in the early thirties, this organ¬ ization has actually functioned as an important part of the college; it has taken a leading role in helping the col¬ lege develop to its present stature. The continuing advancement of this organi¬ zation is an important feature in the future improvement of this institution. l V 1 Jk ft m % ' i H ' -i 1 ah I FINE ARTS COMMITTEE members, first row, left to right, are Florence Keve, Gordon Klahn, Lois Lutz, and Chairman Betty Wood.
