] o v e r n in e n t during Pre-School Conference remained the guides for the officers until the close of school in June. At the half-way mark of the school year, an inventory of progress was made hy these officers and further plans were laid at this check-up conference. Honor Board and Judicial Board served as policy making bodies. Through residence hall discussions, through explanations to the freshmen, and the traditional skit at the first mass meeting, the idea of responsible freedom became a part of the philosophy of each student. Legislature cooperated in a constructive way by eliminating unnecessary rules. Student Government at the Woman ' s College followed the traditional phases — legislative, judicial, and executive. President Betsy Bulluck presided over Judicial Board and mass meetings, appointed committee chairmen, and exercised all executive powers. Susan Womack as Vice-President of Student Government presided at Legislature, assisted with the handbook, and was responsible for chapel seating. To Secretary Betsy Umstead was delegated the responsibility of keeping records of Judicial Board and Hall Board cases, and taking minutes of mass meetings. Treasurer Betty Phillips managed the bud- get and was responsible for minutes of Legislature. Woman ' s College has been for us a laboratory for democratic living. The citizens of tomor- row have taken their primary courses in democratic living under the auspices of the Stu- dent Government Association.

JUDICIAL BOARD . . . entrusted with judiciary authority in honor oases has striven toward making the student body aware of the respon- sibilities that go hand in hand with the privilege of having student government. Five seniors, two juniors, and a faculty advisor compose the Judy Board over which the president of Student Government presides. The secretary of Student Government acts as secretary. A member of Judy Board sits in on the Hall Boards which are set up in each dormitory and consists of the house presidents and four other girls from the dormitory. It is these house judiciary hoards that handle all minor cases, while the major honor offenses fall under the jurisdiction of the Student Government Judicial Board. The keynote of this group has been a stronger honor policy through more individual responsibility and somewhat stric- ter corrective measures. By explaining to students the rea- sons for rules and talking to honor cases before thev have gone before the board. President Betsy Bulluck ami the members of Judy Board have tried to make the honor code an integral part of campus life. Honor Board: Beam Fundcrburk, Jan Sh.,r.-.
