TUDENT GOVERNMENT Associafecl otuKdleiitts I resident Richard L. Taw presided both semesters over the largest student body ever registered at the University of Nevada. The Associated Students of the University are organized to transact business concerning any of their affairs. A ten-dollar fee is charged for membership, split between athletics and other activities. Major issue of the year was the Student Union Building Petition which was approved by the regents but defeated later by the students themselves. A big accomplish- ment was the revision of the A. S. U. N. Constitution. Taw, who came from Lovelock, Nevada, was president also of Beta Kappa Fraternity. Appointed by the Senate was Charlotte Caton, secretary of the student body. Generally a smooth running year, Dick Taw was considered an outstanding president. 16 Student Body President Richard Taw

Creel, director of the University of Nevada Agricultural Extension Service, to the presidency of the Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities at this year ' s meeting of that organization in Washington.
