Chief justice Joel Lanphear got the Board off to a bright start early last fall when he delivered its first decision as an autonomous group.

Successes were few, but according to Murray, it was not about to give up. This problem must be solved, the A.S. President insist- ed in an address to Legislators winter quarter. We must be direct and prompt in our attempts to do so. And we will! The final two committees, dealing with responsible leadership and student welfare, had little to show - but high hopes. House visitations and frosh elections were the chief duties of the Leadership Committee, whereas the welfare group spent its time working with Bellingham merchants Acting P.A.C. Chmn. in hopes of securing a ten percent discount for Western students. In addition to the five main committees, legislators also served on the Book Store Board and the Food Service Committee and kept a sharp eye on the college-owned Lakewood recreation area and on the second branch of student government, the executive, officers. Of the three officials, Murray had the most extensive duties, which included serving as ex-officio of all legis- lative committees and as chairman of the Legislature. His executive officers, Mike Boring and Terry Gal- lagher, had more specific but equally demanding jobs. As head of the Program Council, Vice President Boring sponsored the Snow Festival, the College Bowl and brought the folk-singing Smothers Brothers and pianist Peter Nero to campus.
