THE Students ' Assembly is the legislative branch of the Students ' Associa- tion, an organization composed of every bona fide student of the Main University for the purpose of self-government. The Assembly represent ' - the student body, and consists of the president and vice-president of the Students ' Association and twenty students elected from their respective departments and schools. The Assembly enacts all laws pursuant to the Constitution of the Students ' Association for the general welfare of the student body, and is subject to the will of the students by virtue of a provision for the initiative and refer- endum on any of its measures. Among other important measures, it provides for a Social Calendar Committee, which controls all student celebrations and social functions and stipulates that all new organizations other than those ot national character must be approved by the Assembly before their formal appear- ance. Thus the Students ' Assembly provides lor practically all the exigencies thai have arisen in the past and foresees those likely to arise in the future, removing responsibility from the faculty and placing it in the hands of the stu- dents themselves.
