BACKGROUND NOTE
The Students’ Association has existed on campus since
the early 1900s. The governing board of the Students’ Association
was the Board of Control. The board was elected by the student body
each spring and consisted of students from each division of the
university with the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women as advisers.
The president and vice president of the student’s association
presided over the board with the president acting as chairman.
The Board of Control spent their time solving campus
problems, sponsoring free movies, planning all-campus concerts,
sponsoring the beauty pageant, Women’s Day and Leadership Camp, and
filibustering about the Publication Council’s reserve fund. Members
allocated funds from student fees to individual student enterprises;
voted on student activities; and controlled the Students’
Association-owned bookstore. Their vote was the final decision on
major student positions. The board also regulated the actions of
the various special councils. Nomination of candidates for student
president and vice-president formed one of the most important duties
of the Board of Control.
The purpose of the organization was to promote and
regulate student affairs in the best interests of the college, and
to form a connecting link between the student body and the faculty.
The Students’ Association is the primary organization
representing the interests, needs and concerns of students on
campus. The Students’ Association includes every registered student
at SDSU but the work of the Association functions through an elected
Student Senate, which is responsible for three major program areas.
First, the Senate provides input to the administration, Academic
Senate, a wide variety of committees, the South Dakota Board of
Regents and the South Dakota Legislature regarding student
concerns. Students are represented on virtually every committee on
campus, including the Academic Affairs Committee, and have an
opportunity to influence policies and procedures during development
and implementation. Second, SA provides support services and
programs to assist students. Those services run the gamut from
providing funding for the SA lawyer who offers legal advice to
students to sponsorship of campus-wide educational programs.
Finally, SA has the budgetary responsibility for allocation and
supervision of funds provided by student activity fees each year.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE
This series is composed of minutes, agendas,
correspondence, clippings and miscellaneous material collected by
individual committees associated with the Students’ Association. The
bulk of the material deals with student activities, food service,
academic advising, athletics, and campus radio. Some of the
material in this series may duplicate material found in the Academic
Senate record group (UA 4).
The Students’ Association is comprised of many
committees that perform various functions. While some of the
committees are permanent, most change from year to year, depending
on the needs and desires of the Association.
ARRANGEMENT of the RECORDS

constant change within the Students’ Association, this material was
