ic moncl College Siuclent government In its first postwar year, the Student Government of Richmond College returned to the original organizational composition consisting of three branches, the Execu- tive, Legislative and judicial departments. The president, vice-president, secre- tary, treasurer, representative to the Athletic Council and representative to the Board of Publications make up the Executive Branch. The Senate, composed of four senators elected at large, and four elected from the individual classes, forms the Legislative Branch. This body has as its duty the handling of routine affairs and all ordinary legislation. The Honor Council, composed of eight men appointed by the president of Student Government, serves as the Judicial unit. Cases of honor and interpretation of campus legislation are the functions of this group. SOLON COUSINS, PRESIDENT STUDENT GOVERNMENT Every student of Richmond College is automatically a member of the Student Government Association and it is through the cooperation of all that the organiza- tion functions smoothly. This year the Student Government administered to the needs of twelve hundred students, and began the task of mould- ing a student body that has never numbered more than six hundred into a unified group. Regular class meetings were introduced to replace one of the Richmond College assembly meetings, in an attempt to make each class distinctive in its organizationg a new Honor Code was formed and adoptedg the intramural program served more students than ever before, and a Student Activities Council was formed to facilitate inter-organization relations and to serve as an informa- tion center for all campus organizations. A standing committee on Thanksgiving Day Relations with William and Mary was formed and an exchange of delegations between resulted in a feeling of good will that prevented any sort of unpleasantness. The Student Body at large progressed along the path of unity and cooperation during the year, and Student Govern- ment had as its aim the participation of all in college activities and an all-inclusive spirit of devotion to Alma Mater. These aims were realized to a phenomenal degree in light of the time elapsed.

he Hanoi Counci .al Lqft to rz1gh!.'sIACK VVILBOURNE, BILL GOFORTH, THAD CRUMP, LARRY YoFFY, RUSSELL LANG, Roi' WYATT, CARROLL ALLEX' During the past few years, under the wartime constitu- tion of the Richmond College Student Government, members of the executive council acted also as the Honor Council. This year, for the first time since 1942, the Honor Council served as a separate functioning branch of Student Government, being appointed by the president. Composed of four seniors, three juniors, and one sopho- more, the Council elected Larry Yoffy as chairman, and Roy Wyatt as secretary. This year a new statute, governing the Honor System, which was completed by a revision committee last fall, was installed. This provides a written code by which the YG Council can work. It has proved very effective as a defi- nite standard for council rulings. In spite of the sudden increase in the enrollment of Richmond College, the Honor Council has had no corre- sponding increase in the number of cases this year. The orientation program at the beginning of the fall session was undoubtedly helpful in acquainting students with the Code and in preventing violations of it. The Council has been able to work happily and efiiciently this year. The members feel that its most important work has been done in preventing infractions of the Code, rather than in trying cases. ! r 1 lf' 17
