LEGISLATURE JUDICIAL BOARD LEGISLATURE Annie Braswell, Vice-President of Student Government, is chairman of the Legislature which meets on call in order to extend privileges or change rules as issues arise. It is a true democratic organiza- tion conducted by student members. One of the many duties of the Legislature is the responsibility of conducting elections. This year they have tried to cope with the problem of election among a stu- dent body that numbers over two thousand. Their solution was to impartially publicize the candi- dates for office so everyone would know for whom she was casting a vote and what thcr qualifications were. JUDICIAL BOARD This august body sits in weekly trial of rule infractions Working in a coordinated system, it re- views cases that ore reported by the Hall Boards which handle minor infractions. The members ore appointed by the President of Student Government who is chairman. Miss Alexander was elected fac- ulty adviser. Instead of the severity and sternness that usually accompanies block robes, we find com- plete understanding and sincere cooperation. IvvMUUfiM T ww vt £ Twenty-seven

U fwc Uwifci . STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The one unit of organization in which every girl at W. C. plays on important part is the Student Govern- ment Association. The S. G. touches every phase of college life; but most important of all, the Student Government stands for democracy which is an inte- gral part of Women ' s College. The officers for 1940-41 of this association were chosen by Australian ballot in May of 1940. A mass meeting (attendarce required!) was held at which time the new officers and house presidents were sworn in, and the entire student body renewed its oath to uphold the principles of the Student Govern- ment. For the remainder of the school year, the new officers under the experienced guidance of the old began to take over the controls of the complicated machinery of S. G. In a coordinated system the Judy Board handles coses and reviews Hall Board decisions; the Legisla- ture considers and works out rule changes to be made; the social chairman, elected by the Legisla- ture lays plans for the new program. In order to gain ideas and contribute to other schools, delegates were sent to the State Conference at Chapel Hill and to the Southern Conference at New Orleans. Before September brought a fresh crop of new students, a conference was held of the Student Gov- ernment officers and the campus leaders to dis- cuss problems of the last school year and necessary changes for the coming year. Orientation week which follows isn ' t as bad as it sounds. During this period the Freshmen become acquainted with their port in Student Government through Blue Book tests and other means. Football season brings all three parts of the Uni- versity — Carolina, State, and W. C. — together on Greater University Day. Carolina and State root in the mud (it always rains) for a pig-skin victory while W. C. overflows the grandstand. We might have a blue or a red ribbon on our chrysanthemum, but in either case we ARE proud. As this goes to press, the campus is rift with PROS and CONS of The proposed honor system by the Stu- dent Government.
