E Home 1.7.3 pdf, 7 C1 l , 6, mr emi' or ARTS The Students Administrative Assembly NOTHER year has been added to the history of the hlstory of the Students' Administrative Assembly, and what a year' For another term it has withstood the same old XK'lSk?'Cl'.lCliS hy anony' lnous Gazette wrlters, charging every thing from autocratic dominance to passive neglect of duty. The old .lI1fl'fElCI.llfY lTlCflOl1 with lts annual misgivings, the l'!lLlSICl'lI'Ig radical party wlth their yearly quota of scandals. and the 5411116 old problem of 5llOXXllI1g the freshmen their I7llCC have all added to the general interest as the ship of state continued on its 1927-28 Journey. : -4. 'N7' If for nothing else. we welcome all this lteeause it shows a greater interest on the part of the student Iwody than ever shown hefore. The elections this year saw a record nomination list and by far the greatest vote ever registered at Western The faculty have not hesitated to the Students' Adlnlnlstrative Asselnhly in matters affecting the student hody. Dean Neville has faith ln WCSfCl'l1lS student QOYCTUIHQ lsodv and that lmens well for lts future powers. But -4- l n YlQllNl l'I.'XMUNlm 5'-liltws rklllfllllsllallv- Assvlnhlv take IITKO CUl'l51L,lCI'4lfl0l1 the views of hefore lf gets .luthorlty the assembly lnust prove itself. It must prove that its judgment on important questions 15 sound and broad enough to take the welfare of the whole UIIIVBVSIUY into CODSld6F21flOD. We trust that you will agree that If IS doing all of this. The accusation that the Students' Adlnlnlstratlve Assembly 15 a body lnaugurated to spend student money recklessly IS worn out. The student who looks around at the SHLIHIIOD in slster UIUVEYSIKTES can readily see that a strong student government goes with unity of the student hody, more school lil-C, l'etter soclal functions, better OI'gHlHZEd and more enthusiastic support at athletlc contests, llveller elections and what not. lf the student government ls l'CSPOI1S1l7lE', even ln a small way. If should be worth developlng, And ntay I express a few words of appreelatlcn of the work of my fellow lnembers thls year. Wluatexlel' the merits or demerits of the Jdll1lI1l5tl'flIlOI'l, the legislative body has at least escaped the accusatlon of never doing anything. Any body which. among other Il'lll'lgS, establishes a new lnltlatlon policy, introduces a new scclal schedule, establishes for the flrst tllne a form of student insurance. puts the student court and CllSClIWlllLll'Y ecmmlttee 111 running order and sets ln action a IHOTE careful lsllldlkflill arrangement with the other UDIVEFSIIY organlzatlons all ln one year. Wlll never be accused of dO'TIl'lg. Yet there 15 lnuch IDOFB work which could have and should have been done. vTo next year's Assembly I wish the best good fortune on behalf of your lIHlHEkl1?lt9 predecessors. We wlsh you all of the hne CO'OP6I'LlC1OI1, CFTIICISIH and contumacy that go to make up a successful year. Page Tu entyftu n
