 STUDENT ACTIVITIES
 ORGANIZATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS
 Student Government.-Student government in the University of Florida is a co-
operative organization based on mutual confidence between the student body and the
faculty. Considerable authority has been granted the Student Body for the regulation
and conduct of student affairs. The criterion in granting authority to the Student Body
has been the disposition of the students to accept responsibility commensurate with the
authority granted them. Generally speaking, the fields of student activity include regu-
lation of extra-curricular affairs and the administration of the Honor System.
 Every enrolled student, having paid his activity fee, is a member of the Student
Body and has an equal vote in its government.
 The University authorities feel that training in acceptance of responsibility for the
conduct of student affairs at the University is a valuable part of the educational growth
of the individual student. The Student Body is practically a body politic, occupying its
franchise under grant from the Board of Control and subject to its continued approval.
 Student government is patterned on the state and national form of government,
but adapted to the local needs of the Student Body. Powers are distributed into the
three branches: (1) legislative, which is embodied in the Executive Council; (2)
judicial, which is embodied in the Honor Court with penal and civil jurisdiction of all
judicial matters; (3) executive, embodied in the President and shared with the Vice-
President and the Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Body. Members of all three
branches are elected directly by the Student Body once a year.
