Major changes were effected within the Dining Hall Committee, which stalwartly struggled against 4,200 lunching students in its efforts to combat the disciplinary and aesthetic problems before it. A faculty supervised dining hall was begun in order to cope with the discipline of the few students who attempted to thwart the aims of the committee. lilusic continued to be played over the public address system, and artificial potted plants on the wall did double duty by pretending to freshen the air and lending a homey atmosphere to a previously :stark room. The change which was most noticed by the students how- ever, was that of nomenclature from Lunch Hall to Din- ing Hall. The supporters of Dining Hall contended it had a more elegant connotation. The controversial but praiseworthy efforts of the Honor Committee, which attempted to eliminate student cheating and to instill honor, resulted in a modification of its method of presentation. It was voted by Council that the voting be put on an individual basis rather than a group one. ln other words, the student in a class that was voting whether or not to adopt the honor system was now asked to vote ac- cording to whether he wanted to use the honor system rather than if he thought the class as a whole would accept it. A three-fourths affirmative vote was made necessary for passage of the system in each class. ln the president's report on Council action during the 1961 term, it was noted by the head of the Honor Committee that of the 580 classes that had voted, 572 had decided to accept the honor system. A bronze plaque outlining the tenets of the Code of Ethics was presented to the school in October at an assembly and was installed in the first floor rotunda. The plaque replaced the explanatory booklet which had been distributed to the students in previous years. One of the first issues to be resolved in the 1961 adminis- tration was the bill providing for Town Meetings to be held monthly, where the studentry could, come to discuss pending bills with the Council members. Several hundred students attended each of the four meetings held during this administration, and they were commended as a success- ful move in promoting better contact between the students and their government. A monthly ,sock-hop or No-name was also held, usually in conjunction with an athletic or dramatic event. Council recommended to the administration a revision in the presentation of the Athletic Code, which called for a meeting of the team captains and the coaches at the be- ginning of the season for the purpose of discussing a feasible code. This issue was turned over to the Tri-Ship N Club, made up of varsity letter winners. The freshmen were introduced to the workings of Council through an agreement with the faculty whereby tenth period freshman classes were invited to spend a day watching the organization in action. The greatest internal reforms concerned the representa- tive system, which was clarified for the first time in the by- laws. Another Representative Bill provided for quarterly, or nine week, rotation of rep assignments to adviser room-s rather than semesterly as before. The purpose of this was CContinued on page 285 . . -ff-' -W aa , ., .

Council granted charters to four new organizations, the New Trier Folk Singing Society, the Go-Kart Club, the Aesculapians, and the Yarn and Thread Club. All the Coun- cil-sponsored clus were organized by the Social and Recrea- tion Committees for a Halloween Party on Beggars, Night. Booths and bingo were set up in the Dining Hall, movies were shown, and the gyms were opened for roller skating, ping-pong, and miniature golf. .. , Im... , VW, at 5? Perhaps one of the most controversial bills, and one which interested, either pro or con, a great number of students not directly concerned with Council, was the Council Jewelry Bill. The Pride Pin Bill, as it was commonly known, provided that members of Council be able to purchase 'small lavaliers or tie clasps with the organizational insignia. Many of the students and nearly half of the representatives op- posed the bill on the grounds that it was both unnecessary and that it further widened the gap between Council and the people it represents. Though only a minor bill, the re- sults of a poll of the students presented to the Council re- vealed that it was one of the most widely discussed of the year and, unfortunately, one of the least understood. The Council treasurer elected to serve in the 1961 ad- ministration, Gerry Langford, moved to Florida during the summer. Steve Edelman, who tallied the next highest num- ber of votes in that election, was appointed to serve the rest of the term. Among the actions of the treasurer was the ap- propriation to Pep Club for new cheerleading skirts after the colors ran together in the old ones at a rainy Evanston football game, and a backing guarantee to insure payment of the fees of the professional performers who appeared at the Folk Singing Society Festival. Council also was in charge of the disbursement of the activities ticket fund. 011 the whole, Council enjoyed a financially sound year. The greatest accomplishment of Council, and one not to be sniffed at, was that it survived intact the weekly on- slaught of the New Trier News. The Huckleburry Hound Fan Club, traditionally led by the Council president Cwho fortunately was not forced to fly to the side of his gate during the Berlin crisisl, was joined by a rival Pancho Villa Fan Club led by the vice-president. The Council secretary was known to be occasionally afflicted with hallucinations of shamrocks, and it was the opinion of the board that the or- ganizationys main in-joke was Pat lWacfarland. ......,4... .. iKi'fEi2S ?.!m2iWBWWi!'i!'uQ5W'?1WW?'ff 'ii rt-'A L -ww. . . , M ur . .. ,. , , - , . , . y, ..
