ki 9n Qtufu x WoojJt PneSoUaal Can e ieHce ■Elites The Student Planning Committee, off-spring of the Student Coun- cil, held its second pre-registration meeting at Camp Wood this year to help re-form and revitalize school policies and curriculums. Work- ing with faculty aid, the student committees made recomendations, many of which have been since enacted by the College administration. Each of the six sub-committees met individually. One of the discussion groups meets (above). Nearly every campus organiza- tion sent a representative to the confer- ence. Camp Wood made an ideal location for the three day event. Students are shown (left) assembling for an evening rneal. Discussion group chairmen were; Jim dinger, Dave Weatherbie, Intra- murals; Dick Winger, Mae Weaver, Social and Recreational; Nadine Smith, Dick Finegan, Political Action; Ralph Salis- bury, Public Relations; Loreta Stricklin, Dick Medlin, Student-faculty Relations; Deanne Dameron, Roy Harvey, Curricu- lum.

The camp provided swimming (right), boating, horseback rid- ing and archery. Following the conference, delegates returned to school for enrollment. In an all school assembly shortly after the beginning of the fall semester, SPC re- ports were delivered to the student body. More than half the recommendations of the group have been aproved by the ad- ministration.
