Student Body Government at U. of California Is Described By JULIAN PRESCOTT Student government at the Uni versity of California is faced by problems not encountered at the much smaller and non-metropoli tan campus at Stanford. Because of this, such large control of stu dent discipline as has been dele gated to the Stanford student body has been denied the Cali fornia group. Otherwise, the functions of the A. S. U. C. are virtually the same. It has charge cf practically all extra-curricular activities. Membership in the association is open to faculty members as well as students. This gives the profes sors advantage of student rates for athletic events and other acti vities. It also makes possible the forming of a bond between stu I dents and faculty that might ; otherwise be impossible on a campus so large, . . . , Officers o fthe association are a president, a vice-president, a sec retary, a senior men’s and a senior women’s representative. A provi sion not encountered on most cam puses is that the vice-president shall be a senior woman. Legislative and administrative functions have been invested in an executive committee composed of th£ president, vice-president, and secretary of the association, senior man, senior woman, an alumnus of the university ap pointed by the alumni association, a member of the academic senate appointed by the president of the university, one member of each of the following activity councils, men’s athletics, women's athletics, publications, dramatics, forensics, and the senior, junior, and sopho more class presidents.
