THE STUDENT The record of Student Government duritig the past vear has shown progress toward the goal of student coorperation and unity. A feeling of unity unknown at the college for the last three years made itself apparent in early January as the student body voiced its desire for more representation through Ron Drake, its president. Ron s efficiency, pa- tience, and his very able leadership will long be remembered by the students of the col- lege who placed their confidence in him. At the annual Hont)rs Convocation held in the fall. Ron stressed the importance of Student Government as it exists not onlv for the representation of the student body in the college communitv. but also as a bodv by which students are al)le to aid themselves and the college. Following this principle the Student Government w orked during the year to make students aware that it was functioning by placing bi-weekly reports of Student Government activities in the Flat Hat. At the beginning of the school year the Student Government undertook a campaign to collect money to be used toward the proposed Student I nion Building. During fall reg- istration, members of Student Government collected monev from the student body to be placed in the Student L nion Fund. The campaign was furthered by the successful and unique Powder Puff Bowl, composed of various women students who ied for the pig- skin on Gary Field. All proceeds went to the Student L nion Fund. The orientation program for incoming students was organized b the student govern- ment on the basis of favorable reports concerning the program of the previous year which the) had also planned. During the ear. plans were slowlv developed in the Student Assembly for the estab- lishment of a Judicial Council for men students. The purpose of this move was to put into the hands of the students. disciplinar authority for minor infractions which are at present handled by the Disciplinarx Committee. In January, the students united in orderly discussion to consider a new administrative social rule. The discussions gave vent to a growing feeling of disatisfaction in the student bodv concerning administrative practices. Student Government channeled the accumu- lated grievances to the administration and presented a comprehensive report t i the Board of Visitors. RO.N DR. KF. President of Student Body
