With suggestions that the speaker please rise and reminders that the amendment is not germane, order was obtained by Legislature Chairman Kay Neelands in collaboration with that reliable and unim- peachable source of authority Robert ' s Rules of Order. Pro- posals affecting college and community, extra-curricular activities, student-faculty relations, and inter-collegiate con- tacts, swelled the agenda and received a thorough mulling over by the masterminds of Legislature. Frances Burroughs, the conscientious and efficient Secretary of Legislature, jotted down the innumerable motions, discussions, observations, amendments to the amendments, and other sage comments, both spontaneous and premeditated, that issued from the floor of Legislature. From this mottled confusion Frances compiled an accurate and concise record of actions passed and constitutional changes proposed. Throughout the year Legislature set up various special committees and sub- committees charging them with preliminary tasks necessary to expedite particular programs. On a similar plane were the Standing Committees established in years past with charges to administer standing programs set up by Legisla- ture. The members of Student Legislature. 1953-5-4. experi- enced inspiration, deliberation, and compensation in their continued efforts to render an over-all program of far-reach- ing benefits to Woman ' s College.

Student Government The Student Government Association on the Woman ' s College campus is a remarkable con- tinuity of the democratic spirit. It perpetually strives to assist the individual in fulfilling the right and responsibility she has to help educate herself through active participation in a democratic educa- tional community. Inspiration, though, and action directed toward the most efficient fulfillment of this program is the vital diet upon which student government thrives. In a tripartite community of students, faculty, and administration, S.G.A. is the official organ of student opinion and coopera- tion in the promotion of common welfare at Woman ' s College. The year 1953-54 saw active consideration of the extension of the Honor Policy to embrace Chapel attendance. Initially confounding confusion at an October meeting of Legislature, the question of extending the Honor Policy was subsequently spearheaded at mass meeting of the student body to undergo a process of further dissection. Judicial Board and House President ' s Organization, as re- liable pillars in the bulwark of Student Govern- ment, worked side by side with the Legislative and Executive branches to support and implement a program contrived to best meet the needs of Woman ' s College students.

The purpose of Judicial Board is to deal with serious infractions of the Honor Policy. The Board works in conjunction with Honor Board to establish and carry out that policy in a manner which is most beneficial and applicable to this campus society, as well as the individual and the community. Following a change in 1953 in the organization of Student Government, the Judicial System functions independently of both the Legislature and Executive branches, with the Judicial Chairman as its head. Members of the Judicial Board are appointed from the three upper classes. The Secretary of S.G.A. attends the meeting to keep records of the meetings and cases, while the student body president is an ex-officio voting member of the Board. Sessions held by Judicial Board now take place in the Pecky Cypress Room of the Alumnae House. This change was insti- tuted so that the atmosphere of the meetings might be less ap- prehensive, while retaining the necessary formality.
