Emerald Feature Editor
The Student Union board, which
has been celebrating the fourth
anniversary of its founding this
week, was organized during fall
term of 1949. \
The original board was selected
by recommendations of the deans
of the various schools ia the Uni
versity, with interviews of those
named conducted by the ASUO
president and vice president.
According to interest shown in
the interviews, the president and
vice president, together with Dick
•Williams, SU director, Selected
the board.
Membership Listed
Les Jones, who served as the
first chairman of the board, orig
inated the program of organiza
tion known as the “perpetuation
plan,” by which apportionment for
representation on the board was
made.
According to the rules of the
plan, the board is composed of
two juniors or seniors to be voting
members-at-large for one year,
and one sophomore to be a vot
ing member-at-large for two
years.
Other members of the board in
clude two voting members from
the faculty, to serve two-year
terms each. The director of stu
dent affairs and the Student Un
ion director are ex-officio, non
voting memoers.
Representation of the different
schools of the University is ap
portioned with one representative
member each for the school of
health and physical education, art
and architecture, music, educa
tion, business, journalism, law,
and the graduate school. The col
• lege of liberal arts is allowed two
representatives. All these mem
I bers have voting privileges.
The first board met in Emerald
hall, as did most of the student
body committees at that time, ac
cording to Donna Base, SU pro
gram director.
Areas Clianged
There were originally six gener
al committee-areas established to
investigate the different program j
areas of the building. These were
the interview and referral com
mittee, which is now the personnel
committee; the house committee,
now the public relations group;
the cultural committee which be
came an art gallery group: brows
ing room committee and recorded
music committee.
A recreation committee was or
iginally organized, but its func
tions are now handled by the spec
ial events chairman. The original
ballroom committee has been di
vided into the movie, dance and
music committees; and the pub
licity committee is still serving its
original purpose. The coffee-hour ^

forum has been added since the
building itself has been built.
Perpetuation Established
The branching-out of the orig
inal six groups has resulted in
the establishment of ten separate
standing committees at the pres
ent time. Each committee has £
chairman, and consists of mem
bers selected at interviews by a
special screening committee of SU
board members.
The year 1950 brought the be
ginning of the actual operation of
the perpetuation plan established
under Jones’ term of office. Hank
Parrian was the first chairman
to carry out the plan. At that time
Parrian was a graduate student in
history.
Ralph Hillier, then a member
at-large of the board, was the
next chairman. Hillier is now on
campus as a second-year law stu
dent.
Clyde Fahlman was the chair
man of last year's board, the first
