student government associatioi JUDICIAL BORRD State your case, please, begins Chief Justice Kirby as the defendant takes her seat facing the nine black- cloaked members of the Judicial Board. The judges wear their most becoming austere expressions — as a rule, but, occasionally, the situation has been known to develop comic tendencies, and it has been said the Judy Board has smiled! The cases are tried in the Judicial Board room of the Alumnae House. Every Monday night at 7:30 the Board meets around a long, green-topped, horse shoe table. A house president will come in and present the case of the student to be questioned. Behind closed doors the mem- bers of the Board debate each case and many times this question comes into the discussion. Was it a case of gross carelessness or was it a deliberate defiance of the honor code of the cam- pus? Each case is considered individually, and the penalties are decided on the basis of what will help to strengthen the honor of this particular person. Nancy Kirby, as president of student government, acts as chairman of the Board. Betty Styron, who is secretary of student government acts as clerk of the court. Miss Alexander with years of legal f experience to her credit sees to it that the Quality of Mercy is not strained or neglected.

committees and the larger group. With the return of the natives, the plans which became actualities this year were the revision of the Service League and the rejuvenation of campus clubs. To upperclassmen, S. G. A. and its various subdi- visions are part of everyday life. The Freshmen get to know it gradually as they come in contact with hall boards, or get to know their proctors by the sound of a call down ; but Freshman Week is also helpful. At this time, the new ipso facto members of the student body are welcomed by the chief officers at a meeting in Aycock. And, later on, they are introduced to the honor policy, a comparatively new but very important phase of Wo- man ' s College campus government. From the presidency to committee memberships, S. G. A. is of, by, and for the students. The excitement of elections subsides, but the interest remains keen. Prexy AT THE Mike. First Row: M. L. Crabtree, M. Davis, A. Gillespie, B. L. Howser, A.

THE FlflflnCE BORRD The difficult task of deciding upon the budget for student organization, and the al- lotment of funds for special needs falls to the Finance Board. It requires an open mind and an understanding of die interests of both the students and the administration. THE ELECTIOnS BORRD There is never a time in the spring when this group isn ' t busily working away, unknown to the majority of the student body. Scott and her cohorts do much more than make die post- ers that identify the candidates for each elec- tion. For weeks before election days, the committee checks on the candidates ' records, and after giving approval, checks all the names on petitions for validity. We give credit to a job well done.
