THROUGH EFFORTS OF STUDENT AND FACULTY COUNCILS -icptec THE Faculty Council on Student Affairs is a repre- sentative group of 12 faculty members who meet weekly to decide matters of policy as concerns both faculty and students at Kansas State. Council mem- bers are appointed by President Milton S. Eisenhower to represent him in matters of student and faculty government. Members of the Faculty Council work in coopera- tion with the Student Council. Problems arising are discussed by both groups and each Council reports its findings and decisions to the other. Neither group can take action without the approval of the other. Both Councils meet periodically for an evening dinner in order to get better acquainted and to work out mutual problems. Several changes were made in Faculty Council per- FACULTY COUNCIL ON STUDENT AFFAIRS— Maurice D. Woolf, Wilson Tripp, Helen Moore, V. D. Foltz, Margaret E. Raffington, E. E. Leasure, Harold Howe, A. L. Pugsley, S. E. Whitcomb, Katherine sonnel this year. A new second semester head of the group was Dr. Maurice D. Woolf, new Dean of Stu- dents. Dean Woolf replaced Dr. Harold Howe, grad- uate school dean, who is still, however, in the group. A new addition this fall was Miss Katherine Geyer who replaced Mrs. Gladys B. Gough. Prof. Thomas Avery now is on the Council in place of Prof. Rufus Cox. The Faculty Council was instrumental in persuading Manhattan restaurant owners that students were com- plaining about their establishments and that they should be cleaned up. Council members also have shown their concern about College social facilities. A new committee has been established to work on a long-range social plan for the College. Geyer, A.

STUDENTS TAKE PART IN ADMINISTRATIVE PLANNING ]! OTUDENTS here at Kansas State College have an active voice in College affairs through their elected representatives on the Student Council, executive body of the Student Governing Association, and through the numerous Council sub-committees. Nine students are elected to seats on the Council each Spring. The number of members on the govern- ing body is determined by College enrollment. Schools, also, are represented according to their enrollment. Dick Lindblom was president of the Student Council this year. Other officers were: vice-president, Harold Peffly; treasurer, Rodney Keif; recording secretary, Barbara King; and corresponding secretary, Laura Belle Overley. The Student Planning Committee, a sub-committee of the Student Council, continued to be one of the strongest student forces on the campus. Many of the STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS gathered around the table for a meeting are. eft to right — Don Grey, Don Bickle, Barbara King, Rod improvements proposed by the SPC have been accepted by administration officials. A new Council committee was established this year and another was discontinued. An all-College Social and Recreational Committee was set up to plan and coordinate campus social activities. The K-State National Student Association, a Council sub-committee, was discontinued because of lack of interest and need here at Kansas State. However, several NSA members continued to work with the Council on the foreign and Negro eating problem in Manhattan. Student Council-sponsored varsity dances were suc- cessfully held this year at the Community House. Pro- ceeds from the varsities made it possible for the Council to sponsor several free all-College parties. One of the free functions was a Christmas party held in Nichols Gym. A free senior farewell varsity also was given. Keif, Dick Lindblom, Fred Cossman, Harold Peffly, Pat McVey and Glenn McCormick. Council members meet each Monday night. 26

Several of the groups are sub-committees of the Student Council. Others are appointed by the Faculty Council on Student Affairs. And some are like Topsy, jest growed. Two new committees were organized this year. They were the Student Union Special Events Committee and the Independent Coordinating Assembly. A nearly all-masculine organization is the Graduate Council which has Graduate School Dean Harold Howe as chairman. The Council is the policy-determining body for the Graduate School. It determines matters of curriculum, admission to graduate study, candidacy for advanced degrees and other matters pertaining to gradu- ate work at the College. Members of the Organization Control Board, under the leadership of Housing Director A. Thornton Ed- wards, decide which student organizations (except fra- ternities) shall be allowed to function on the campus. Tony Ceranich is chairman of the Student Union Special Events Committee.
