Students at the University of Wyoming live in a dual governmental world. They are the governed, to a degree, but they also govern by regulating many aspects of campus affairs through their rep- resentatives in AWS, Pan-hellenic Council, Inter-frateniity Council, and the Student Senate. AWS sets up rules for conduct of women stu- dents, while Pan-hellenic and IFC handle various problems arising from fraternities and sororities. The scope of the Student Senate is a large one, covering fields from Homecoming Queen to publications policy. Elections for the Student Senate and the Student Body Presi- dent and Vice-President are based on the national election system, featuring nominating conventions, vigorous campaigning, and plat- foiTn debates. Senate meetings are always open to any interested student. I! 23 ' . I
