Much ofuhe student government's program this year is intended to wtblish a functioning organization to meet the future needs of Westmln-ste- r students. There was the reorganization amendment that was passed this last fall; the change in scheduling necessitated by, primarily, the absence of football and, of course, policy restricted by budget cuts. When the going faces the worse, the answer, as provided by some students rises to intersect. This is the reason that satisfaction has begot optimism in the course of student administration. An element within the student body that will respond to the various challenges is our greatest asset in student government. The current issue is concerned with the proposed Student Court. The S.G.A.C. has voted approval for further study and action through a committee of John King and Ken Denne. A general idea of the Student Court is presented in this issue of the Parson in an article by Mr. King. You are asked to inform yourself of this proposal and express your opinion. As has been emphasized in past issues, your student government acts upon your wrants. Now is the opportunity to analyze, criticize and reach a conclusion. The committee will present the recommended proposal to the student body early next semester for further action. Westminster College, as a growing institution, is dependent upon individuals for life and guidance. They become the remembered and revered parts of the overall tradition. The memory of Miss Marimon is this and more to those who identify feeling as well as vocation to Westminster. Her dedicated service produces hallowed feelings of gratitude and reverence. May her soul rest in peace. Frederick Pinkerton SGA President |
