T H c: C U Judiciary L ouncil ZoLLiE Steakley, Chairman Clemice McDonald Fred Korth Betty Love Rugeley Charles Robuck Sarah Turk Paul Cotulla This year witnessed the first year of the Judiciary Council ' s functioning as the judicial branch of student government, the present Council being a combination of the former Women ' s Honor Council and Men ' s Honor Council. The Judiciary Council is com- posed of seven members, three women, three men, and a chairman elected each spring by the student body. Upon entering the duties of their offices, each Council member must have at least junior standing in the University. The Judiciary Council has the responsibility of interpreting the constitution and by-laws of the Students ' Association. It has the power to pass on all cases arising under the constitution and by- laws. Upon trial, a defendant has the privilege of demanding the presence of his accuser and all witnesses. A majority vote of the Council is necessary for a decision, and a student has the right of appeal to the Discipline Committee of the faculty. During the long session of 1931-32 the Council was called upon to determine a number of important questions per- taining to the student elections, eligibility to run for student offices, voting in the Students ' Assembly, and the appropria- tion of funds of the Students ' Association. With the erection of the new Student Union Building, a unit of the University ' s nine-building program, the Judiciary Council will have more adequate quarters, as the plans call for a Council room separate from the Students ' Assembly room.
