Administration Students ' Assembly ' TPHE Students ' Assembly is the legislative body of the Students ' Association, which organization is co m- posed of every bona fide student of the University. The Students ' Assembly works in conjunction with the other departments of student government, namely, the executive and judicial departments, for the purpose of facilitating self-government. This legislative department of the Students ' Associa- tion makes laws in accordance with the Constitution for the general welfare of the student body. Some of the more important measures passed are: The abolition of the Honor System, the repealing of the articles establish- ing the Women ' s Assembly, establishing of a bi-annual rather than an annual Thanksgiving Reception and Ball, regulation of the informal social functions known as open house, apportionment of the blanket-tax fund, and re- writing of the Constitution of the Students ' Assembly. The Students ' Assembly meets regularly once each month, but it is subject to the call of the president at any time. The meetings are conducted in strict accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure, which gives those students who are so inclined an ample opportunity to learn in a ctual practice the principles of democracy and of practical self- government.
