Show supreme court gives president veto power The Weber State College Supreme Court served the college much as their nation Supreme Court does the country. The judicial body met every two weeks to keep abreast of campus activities, it functioned only when questions of senate bill constitutionality were brought before it. One of the questions which arose concerned the student body president's right to veto bills. The six justices, two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman, ruled that the president did have the power. The functioning of the court did much to further the order in student government: SUPREME COURT - Front Row: Tim Morris, James Condie, Advisor; Jay Gardner, Chief Justice; Val Parrish, Don Owens. Back Row: Wes Johnson, F. L. Chase. UNION ACTIVITIES BOARD - Front Row: Carol Drinkwater, Kathy Hurst, Jim Larison, Pati Jo George, Jill Stiegler. Back Row: Jeanne Richards, Secretaty; Jerry Kizerian, Chairman; Alan Curtis, Judy Van Meeteren. union activities board adds attractions The Union Activities Board, through its committees, had responsibility for many extracurricular activities. One ad-dition to the program of events came through the Films and Lectures Committee. In addition to American films, outstanding foreign films were shown for the first time at Weber. Another innovation was Sound-Off, the weekly forum which gave students time to publicly express their views on pertinent campus subjects. The Dance Committee sponsored a ballroom dancing class so students were better prepared to enjoy the dances of the year. Other outstanding activities included Religious Emphasis Week, Miss Weber State Pageant, Union Building Birthday Party, and the student body Luau. |
