It is the function of our senators to organize school activities which will benefit the student body. All school legislation must be passed by this body before laws are made and put into operation. Each senate member is obligated to carry out his legislative duties and represent his organization effectively. The senate has been instrumental in altering Weber's previous two year constitution to meet the needs of the new four year program. This year has been a stepping stone toward establishing the college as a progressive institution of higher learning. This year marks another first for Weber State. An active supreme court was organized and the responsibility of presiding over hearings on offences committed by students against Weber's policies and constitution was the main function of this body. No longer were violations left to the administration to settle. The students were able to handle their own difficulties and provide their own solutions. The judges exercised their authority to pass sentences and see that the penalties were acted upon. Any alterations or amendments to the present constitution were carefully analyzed by this committee before any further action could be taken. This gave Weber's student government a chance to display its ability and competence and added another step toward a smooth running campus provided by the students. Front Row: Ron George, Chief Justice; Val Parrish, Senior Justice; Terry Rich, Junior Justice; Roger Hoggan, Junior Justice. Standing: James Condie, Advisor. Supreme Court |
