’STUDENT GOVERNMENT
ASUO Activities
Numerous
by Kitty Fraser
Emerald Editorial Assistant
* Student insurance, the honor
code, Millrace investigations, stu
- dent traffic tickets, rallies—sound
■ like a mixed collection of things
, you have been hearing about since
^ you arrived on the Oregon cam
pus ?
\ Actually, the above list and
many more represent the activities
' - and the results of activities of the
Associated Students of the Uni
versity of Oregon (the ASUO for
i short), Oregon's student govern
I. ment.
The single body through which
- most action on student matters
\ begins and ends is the ASUO sen
ate. The legislative powers grant
-~ ed by the constitution rest with
this group. Members of the group
are headed by the ASUO presi
. dent and include the four class
presidents and vice-presidents, two
representatives from each class
and nine members-at-Iarge. Two
faculty members with full voting
privileges are also on the senate
and the director of student affairs
is an ex-officio member with
- speaking privileges but no vote.
Acting in an advisory capacity
to the ASUO president and vice
president is the cabinet composed
of the Student Union board chair
man, the Co-op board chairman,
the Oregon Daily Emerald editor,
TOM WKIUHTSON
the Associated Women Students
president, the campus social chair
man, athletic chairman, public re
lations chairman and the director
of student affairs from the facul
ty. The last three student mem
bers listed are appointed by the
ASUO president.
Responsibility for all elections,
under the direct supervision of the
ASUO vice president and appoint
ment of major campus event gen
eral chairmen such as Homecom
ing, Dad’s day and Mothers week
end rest with the senate.
Under jurisdiction of the senate
there are several groups and com
mittees. Among them is the stu
dent court, whose five members
are appointed by the ASUO pres
ident, with two-thirds approval of
the senate. They handle appeals
on student traffic tickets and
other disciplinary action delegated
to them.
The rally board, which selects
the yell squad and plans rallies, is
also under the jurisdiction of the
senate and must reports on its
budget and spending to the senate.
The entertainment commission,
now called the exchange commit
tec, is under the senate. Duties of
the committee this year will con
sist of handling the arrangements
for the exchange assembly which
will perform at Oregon colleges
and high schools.
DON COLLIN
Not part of the area under di
rect jurisdiction of the senate, but
still classifiable as student gov
ernment, are the heads of houses,
the co-ed co-op council, the inter
dorm council, the house managers,
house librarians, Panhellenic, the
Inter-fraternity council and the
freshman social council.
Heads of houses include the
house presidents of all women’s
living organizations on campus,
dormitories, co-ops and sororities.
The Co-ed Co-op council member
ship includes the women’s co-op
presidents and three faculty mem
bers. The president and one rep
resentative from each men’s dorm
make up the Inter-dorm council.
Panhellenic is composed of the
sorority house presidents and the
Inter-fraternity council is compos
ed of fraternity house presidents.
Fraternity house managers have
their own group to discuss their
problems and librarians from cam
pus living organizations have a
group to further the reading pro
gram in their living groups. The
freshman social council is a group
of sophomores who advise the
freshman dorm social chairmen
until they can work on their own.

old son, thin, fearful, pale and
only one arm; Joxer Daly, a crafty
friend of the captain’s; Jerry De

a school teacher who wins Mary’s
heart and leaves her; “Needle”
