Carelessness

Speaker Gathers High Honors; Heads Chief Research Programs

First as to why this has been done, the Judici a l Committee found that on May 21 ot thi s year, a fac ulty advi sors meeting was held. At this meeting, the abolition of th e Freshman , Sophomore, A WS a nd AMS Organizations as a n experiment for the coming yea r was disc ussed. The reasons for th is a re that there is ve ry littl e pa rticipation in the orga niza tion s e xc e pt by the offic e rs; th at the purview of th ese office rs e xtends only to hav ing a vote on th e A.S. B. Executi ve Council. The major exce ption he re is th a t in the pa st, th e Fres hmen and Sophomore Cla sses ha ve sponsored t he Chri stm as a nd Spring Formals respectively. However, t hese function s have bee n cha nged to th e Soc ial Activiti es Committee. Represent Segment It can be seen then , that the

offi cers of these organizations have as their sole function the representation of a particular segment of the student bQdy. The faculty advisors recommended that, on an experimental basis , only the presidents of these organizations be elected for the school year 1962-63. The Judicial Committee praises this action as a simplification of an overworked system. Have The Right

Secondly, as to the right of the faculty advisors to take this action, the Judicial Committee declares emphatically, YES. This is clearly stated in Article III, Section 4 of the A.S.B. Constitution: "All activities and legislation of thi s Council shall be subject to review by the Administration of Palomar College." That this can be done is not to be denied. All that can really be stated here is that we of the Judicial Committee disagree with the method employed in this action. We feel that this action should have included some statement from the A.S.B. Executive Council; however, we do concede the right, and we do condone the action. Clayton Sketoe, Jr. Chairman, Judicial Committee

The Judicial Committee drafted the recommendation last week when it discovered that the four organizations had been abolished at a meeting of faculty advisors May 21. Sketoe will submit today that the presidents of these former organizations now represent only "segments of the student body." He will ask that they be made ex-officio members of the Council. Telescope columnist Ken Anderson inspired the investigation that has res_ulted in Judicial Committee action. Anderson asked, in the September 24 issue of the Telescope , that the Judicial Committee find out why a full compliment of Freshman and Sophomore Class officers was not being elected this semester. The Judicial Committee did investigate, and found that on May 21 faculty advisors decided to abolish the four organizations on an experimental basis. The advisors recommended that presidents be elected to represent the students who had been part of the abolished organizations. The advisors took the priority action because they felt there was too little participation in the organizations , except by the officers. The Judicial Committee has issued a statement in which it condones the action taken by the advisors, but disapproves of the method. (The full text of this statement is included on this page.)
