The president represents PCC at junior college conferences and various other meetings. ‘Veep’ Heads Cabinet The vice-president sits as head of the cabinet. Each class presi¬ dent is chairman of his respec¬ tive class council. The AMS and AWS executives preside over their boards and head the ac¬ tivities which they sponsor. Four representatives at large make up and operate special committees appointed from time to time by the board. Election Decides The controversy over the new and old constitution will also be decided by the major election. If the old constitution is passed, PCC will have a court system which resembles an actual court system with trials and a grand jury. In this case, the offender is tried by the minor court and may appeal to the superior court and then the supreme court. Since the minor elections, a number of changes have been made in the new constitution. Revisions have changed the coun¬ cil so that it will include two Seniors, two Juniors, two Soph¬ omores and one Freshman. When a guilty student is sent to this group, council members talk the matter over with the offender and then make their decision.
