The three- fold object of the association is to represent and further the best interest of the student body, to promote responsibility, self-control, and honor among its students, and to secure cooperation between different campus organi- zations. Ofhcers are elected each year from the stu- dent body, the primary offices being held by seniors. These representatives function as a legislative and judicial organization. The Student Government Association was introduced to the new students during orienta- tion Week. The week was filled with teas, dis- cussion periods, and campus tours. The tradi- tional So This is Intermontn program was given, and the Week was climaxed with a candlelight service in the amphitheater. The outstanding projects of the year were Charm Week and the Valentine Formal.
