Davis: Student Government
Associated Students of UC California, Davis
By the late 1960s, the Associated Students
of the University of California, Davis (ASUCD) was undergoing its
third major reorganization since its beginning in 1912. ASUCD was
the basis for much of the social and cultural life on the campus.
ASUCD Structure
The 1966 structure of the student government
provided for a president and vice-president heading an executive
committee composed of 11 student representatives, three elected
at-large and two from each of the four living areas: men's residences,
women's residences, fraternities (there were no sororities on the
Davis campus), and off-campus. In addition, the freshman class president
and representatives from the faculty, alumni, office of the dean
of students, and office of the chancellor were voting members of
the executive committee.

Social Activities
As well as serving as the voice of the students
in academic and social matters, the executive committee appointed
the chairmen for all the activities which it administered. These
included, among others, Cal Aggie Camp for underprivileged children,
the marching band, and the model United Nations. The executive committee
also hired all full-time personnel working in both the ASUCD offices
as well as in the Student Store and soda fountains, which were operations
of the Associated Students.

The Welfare Council
A second body in the ASUCD was the welfare
council, elected from the students at large and responsible for
maintaining the honor spirit, the honor code of Davis. No exams
were proctored, the library had open stacks, and bicycles were rarely
locked. Infractions of the honor spirit were heard by the welfare
council and recommendations for disciplinary action were made to
the dean of students.

ASUCD Publications
Publications of the ASUCD included the California
Aggie, the twice-weekly newspaper; El Rodeo, the yearbook;
and Motley, a literary magazine. KCD, the campus radio station,
was also owned and operated by students.
ASUCD-Sponsored Events
During the school year, the ASUCD sponsored
not only the traditional college Homecoming Day and Spring Sing,
but also Picnic Day, a campus-wide open house attended by about
50,000 people; Judging Day, an agricultural judging contest for
members of Future Farmers of America chapters in three states; and
Wild West Days, a return to Aggie traditions.
