The ASWSU (Associated Students of Washington State University) Activities Center
serves the university by organizing, directing and generally over-seeing many
campus-related student group activities. Administering of student organizations
includes constant evaluation and advisement.
The Activities Center was established with approval of the Board of Regents in the
Spring of 1947 in answer to student and faculty demands. It began operation during
the fall semester of that year. The goal of the Activities Center was to enable a
joint student-faculty coordination and participation in student and campus life. The
student-faculty cooperative effort was to be augmented by a staff of professionals
through whose help the Activities Center was "to bring efficiency and direction by
coordinating and guiding existing student organizations, by assisting new groups in
developing new programs, an by aiding individual students in planning a balanced
program of activities." (As observed in a Review of Student Activities Center
Program, April, 1948).
At the time the Activities Center was organized, most of the social activities and
student involvement in campus life were coordinated by living groups. As students'
living arrangements gradually became more diffuse, the Activities Center became a
more important central focal point coordinating their activities. The Activities
Center, therefore, became a place of general guidance, assistance and counseling for
student committees and concerns. Furthermore, it became a central repository for
committee records where evaluations of past activities could be used for
recommendations of procedures for future efforts. In this regard, on an annual
basis, evaluations of past activities could be used for recommendations of
procedures for future efforts. In this regard, on an annual basis, evaluative
reports are filed with the Activities Center so that evaluations of the programs can
be made; these reports are filed by Committee Chairmen, as well as by faculty
advisors to individual committees.
The Activities Center also played a supplemental role in reorganization of the
student government. Prior to the formation of the Activities Center, and for some
time after it began, the major student government organizational structure was the
class governments. However, in time, and especially during the decade of the 1960s,
the ASWSU (an organization of all students) superseded the class government system,
and the class governments were discontinued in 1968. For the Activities Center this
has meant that the role of the students, in directing and actually involving
themselves in the workings of the Activities Center, has increased. What was once a
joint student-faculty arrangement, in conjunction with professional administrators,
has become more of a joint effort between students and professionals.
Administrative documents of the ASWSU Activities center from 1965-1984. Documents
range from operations, correspondence, expense reports, budget guidelines, budget
meeting minutes, budget proposals, KZUU (90.7 ASWSU FM) Files, Educational services,
Rally groups, and specific event files.
This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing
order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting
performed by staff.
Items are filed mostly by subject matter.
