lee V ,Ji-up ,E GEORGE ALBRIGHT JACQUES ADNET mn, . J. E. BARKER PAT CLAFLIN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Executive Council is the Legislative Branch of Stu- dent Government. lt is composed of representatives of each college and school in the University. The number each sends to the council is determined by its enrollment in the preceding year. These men and women are the law-makers of Student Government. They pass such laws deemed nec- essary for the proper reauisitioning and allocation of stu- dent funds to those groups benefitting from the student budget, They have the power to accept or reject any re- quest for student funds. They also pass or reject those per- sons nominated by the president to serve on his cabinet. DON CORBETT LOUIS COTTON . iii? ' . A y tg-5 i-,fy ' ml.: Q9 i 'V 4 M ..,, ,f ' wifi 't fs. 'T 1 l i lt is the power and responsibility of the Executive Coun- cil to impeach or remove from office any officer on grounds of malfeasance of duty. They also have the authority to pass Student Body laws to supplement the Student Body Constitution. Unlike some institutions who claim to have Student Government, the University of Florida's Student Government is a working, going concern. lt represents an integral part of student life. Without it, there would be no Honor System. Many students would not have the op- portunity to learn the workings of good government before actually becoming a part of it in the work-day world.

WOODY l.lLES Next yeafs president. JOE NESBITT A hard fought campaign put Joe Nesbitt behind the Secretary-Treasurer's desk in the Student Government office. While in office he fought the battle of the books with just as much diligence. Homesteod's favorite son had as his aim the establishment of a better finan- cial system for student government and a sep- arate office for the finance department. The fruits of his labor appeared when the finance crew invested in some oxygen masks and alti- tude pills and moved up to the third floor of the Florida Union. Joe's even voice and unruffled disposition betray the proverbial conception of the bad- tempered red-head. A business-like manner, a cheery smile for everyone, plus enthusiasm for hard work have paved his way to member- ship in the Executive Council, Blue Key, and Hall of Fame. As Student Personnel Manager for the cafeteria, he gained much of the book- keeping experience which aided him as sec- treas. The only books which seem to give him any trouble are those of the Spanish variety. SECRETARY-TREASURER JOE NESBITT His office handles student fumls. r 26 wooDY LILESC A great Veep supplemented a great Presi- dent. Woody Liles, a man Plant City can well be proud of, gave new respect to the Vice- Presiclent's office. Woody's alert eye spotted many potential Student Government problems and showed a willingness to cooperate or fight for a remedy. His work on committees exhibited rare thor- oughness and efficiency, his work in striving for and achieving a Student Traffic Court dis- played his ability to accomplish a difficult goal. The law setting up the Court, which he and Executive Council member Linder Smith wrote, was a masterpiece of ingenuity and foresight. A junior in Lavv School, Woody has been selected for the Hall of Fame and is a mem- ber of Blue Key, The students Won with Woody when they elected him next year's President of the Stu- dent Body. VICE-PRESIDENT

It came to be through the com- bined ettorts ot Executive Council member Linder Smith and Vice-President Woody Liles. lt set up a court composed ot six justices and one Trattic Court Clerk. Any student will, on receipt ot his second trattic ticket, appear betore the Student Trattic Court. The court can mete out any ot the prescribed penalties it deems justified tor the violation. This has done much toward reducing the number ot trattic acci- dents and violations on campus. MARTIN KIRKLAND WALT MARSHALL BOB NORD DICK PETRY Aww ha .,,g7,,,,,,' . was .,-sf I LJ to .
