PIERRE f ..Vice-President The Student Council is the highest student government agency in the I niven-ity. It is the primary organ of the Legislative Department of Student Government. Within the area of student authority, the Council provides for nomination and election, promotes the general welfare of the student body, takes necessary legislative action on all matters referred to it by the Uni- versity authorities, and legislates on matters necessary to the supervision and coordination of student activities cooperating with the administration on all matters within its jurisdiction. The Council has the further power of proposing Amendments to the Student Government Constitution. During the past year, the Council has been unusually active within its juris- diction, providing for substantial changes in campus traffic regulations, es- tablishing a series of closed nights for all-campus events, planning and ar- ranging for a Varsity Show to be presented next year, and strengthening the actual organization of Student Government. Also, the Council, with the co- operation of the Student Senate, planned, organized, and put into operation the first Student Survey System for LSU, a method of polling the entire student body on imporant questions. In addition, a project to get additional lights on the campus from the girls ' dorms to the classroom buildings was successfully completed and the problem of extending telephone hours was worked on. Many of the activities and accomplishments of the Student Counil for the year are intangible and almost indescribable, but on the whole, the Council has been active, progressive, and successful.
