The Senate, highest legislative
authority, is made up of the stu
dent body officers, the president
of each class and 14 senators
elected at large from the four
classes.
The dean of women, dean of
students, and a faculty advisor
and a parlimentarian are honor
ary members of the Senate with
no voting power.
The Court, highest student
authority in judicial matters, will
try all major infractions of rules.
Its membership consists of seven
representatives appointed by the
Senate plus the student body
president.
The Commission has both legis
lative and judicial functions. Its
membership is made up of the
three top officers from each

representative from the commut
ing students. These will try all
minor infractions, make recom
mendations for changes in the
rule book, set standards for all
campus organizations and control
the activity points system.
The House Councils are made
up of all dorm officers and hall
monitors. Their job will be to try
all dormitory violations.
The Summer Council will be
comprised of a minimum of 10
students and will administer all
legislative and judicial powers for
the summer session.

According to Registrar Robert
Chapman, 78 persons expect to
receive junior college “Associate
in Arts” diplomas and 13 others
anticipate commercial certificates

The drop, Mr. Chapman said,
is due to the fact that most of
this year’s sophomores decided to

the fulfillment of requirements
for a baccalaureate degree rather
than meeting the requirements
for junior college diplomas.
Next spring, when Mars Hill
awards its first degrees as a
senior college, the only persons
who will receive “Associate in
Arts” diplomas will be those stu
dents who have been taking two-
year courses, mostly terminal

neering students, Mr. Chapman
explained.
Commencement will be slightly
different this year. There will be
no baccalaureate sermon and the
graduation exercise will be held

morning, as has been the case in
recent years.
Graduation speaker will be Dr.
L. D. Johnson, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Greenville, S.C.
Graduates and their families are
especially invited to the morning
worship service at the Mars Hill
Baptist Church.
Commencement activities offi
cially begin at 4 p.m. Friday, May
31, with the formal opening of
the student art exhibit. That eve
ning various society honors will
be awarded at a special program
in Spainhour Hall.
Saturday, June 1, will be Alum
ni Day. The Alumni Association
will hold its annual business meet
ing at 3:30 p.m. and the classes
of 1898, 1903, 1908, 1913, 1923,
1928, 1933, 1938, 1943, 1948,
1953 and 1958 will hold reunions
at 4 p.m.
Members of sophomore and
juniors classes and their parents
and other guests are invited to
the annual alumni banquet in the
cafeteria at 5:30 p.m. Speaker
will be Russell Jordan Class of
1943, director of the teaching
hospital and health center at the
University of Florida.
At 8 o’clock that evening “The
Mikado” will again be presented
