The Senate is set up to deter mine and conduct matters of gen eral student concern that may arise at various times of the year. Objectives of the Senate are to act as the official voice of the stu dent body, to promote the student body’s general welfare and to pro vide a’ liaison between the admin istration of the college and the students. The Senate also provides opportunity to train students in the responsibilities and mechanics of democratic government and citi zenship. Officers Elected The officers of the Senate are elected by the student body in a general election held at the end of each school year. A senior, junior and sophomore representative is ejected from each major school at the time that the officers are elected. Four freshmen representatives will be elected immediately fol lowing the November mid-semes ter grade reports and they will take office at that time. The Senate is divided into four standing committees. The Student Life Committee strives to develop healthy student attitudes on such campus prob lems as an honor system and the purposes of a college education. They also attempt to develop bet ter staff-student relationships. The Student Welfare Committee recommends policies or changes concerning the College Hospital, Dining Halls, dormitories and landscaping. They also regulate all student welfare fund drives. Issues Discussed The Issues Committee proposes to the Senate resolutions on state. national and international which affect and interest i students. They also voice opiiij on current questions of inj tance, such as continued foi aid and academic freedom. 1 The main purpose of thisj mittee is to demonstrate thatjl dents, as future leaders, canl should think seriously aboiiti society of which they are a f The Public Relations Comd serves to improve relation] with other student bodies! other outside groups through j| licity, welcoming and .other a ties. Sponsors Chest Drive An annual Campus Chest! is sponsored by the Senate. 1 collected from this drive goal various welfare organizatioif Also a substantial portion dj money remains on the campml aid to Aggies who have neeij financial assistance. SHELTON BEST Student Body Presidal Mm m W H ~ I <' THE AGGIE BONFIRE . . . symbol of Aggie Spirit Bonfire Symbol Of Aggies ’ Spirit When that stack of logs above is ignited Wednesday before the A&M-TU game, the flame of the Spirit in Aggies’ hearts glows as brightly as the fire. It is the culmination of long, hard hours spent in the woods surrounding the school—hours of gang-hauling logs from the cut ting area to the stacking area behind Duncan Hall. The first parties hit the woods usually the weekend before the bonfire and begin cutting the logs for the stack. Then they are hauled out and loaded on flat-bed trucks that various companies have given the Aggies for that use. Usually, two or three power cranes have also been loaned to the school, with drivers, to stack the gigantic logs on the stac Weary and footsore, but the real spirit of A&M, A| gather around the stack for '| annual Bonfire ceremonies. A yell practice is held, is usually the best of all, every Aggie and many visitor their voices in the “Spirit i gieland” and the many yells. I The next step is either U Field at A&M, or the Univera Texas’ Memorial Stadium, fol A&M-TU game, which is at a battle, regardless of eithertetj standing in the conference, t A phrase heard around 1 school shows how far this . c ;| dominates the Aggies: “We may be outscored, botj are never beaten.”
