When the tenative schedul e for the next semester is announced,the Committee studies the schedule for con- flicts and discrepencies and student polls are taken to consider complaints and suggestions as to the curriculum. The Committee passes this information to the Faculty Curriculum Committee for such action as they deem ad- visable.

351mm itg $tudmt QInuntil Hastily begun in 1929 to oppose the state legislature's plan to erect a college for women at Charlottesville, the Student Council has since sewed as the quasi-legislative body in the University's student government. It has the power to act in the name of the entire student body in making, issuing and e nforcing regulations governing all organizations and activities exclusive of the Honor committee and the Judici- ary committee. It also acts as an advisoryboard to the Presi- dent of the University. Eighteen students, including two from the Law School, proportionally representing the nine schools, compose the body. Members sit on various committees of the body, where the bulk of the work is accomplished. Robert Cornelius Wood - Thomas A. Player, Jr. Euditiarg anmmittee The Judiciary Committee investigates and tries all student incidents involving a violation of Uni- versity disciplinary regulations occurring on or off the Grounds. Members are elected in the Spring and Fall from all the School 5 of the University. Each member serves for a full year; the first semester as an investigator, and the second as one of the seven judges. This highest student tribunal draws heavily on the experience and m aturity of its law School members. Talfom'd H. Kemper - William E. Rachels, Jr. 92

It devotes sections to the faculty, classes, organizations and a c t i v i ti e 5, legal fraternities, and intramural athletics. The emphasis is equallydivided betweenthe formal and candid. Through this medium an attempt is made to preserve current life in the Law School for the future. The Barrister was originally begun as a private pro- ject of the now defunct Sigma Nu Phi Legal Fraternity as a result of a suggestion by Dean Ribble. The second issue of the book was published by a staff composed of volun- teers. Presently the Barri ster operates as a non-stock 94 corporation and its membership is open to any student desiring to work on it. This is the tenth year of publi- cation. . The Barrister derive s revenue from three sources: subscriptions from students; contributions from Law School organizations and fratemities: and outside advertising. Of these, the student subscriptions by far make up the greatest part of the Barrister's income. The Barrister is devoted to each and every student and without the sup- port of the studentbody, publication would be impossible. We also wish to express our appreciation to our faculty advisor, Professor A. J. G. Priest.
