University of North Carolim Noppen, Jr., Thomas Sully, Jr., Horace Stacy, Larry Botto, Ted Leone greater university counci Three years ago students from State, Carolina, and Woman ' s College, recognizing the need for greater unity among the three parts of the University, established the Greater Uni- versity Student Council. Their aim was to make the academic and social functions on each campus available to the students from the other two schools and thus strengthen the bond among the students of the three divisions. This year the council elected Henry Odum of State Col- lege as President. Other officers were Nancy Holder of W. C, Vice-President; Charles LeGrande of State, Secretary; an I Tom Sully of Carolina, Treasurer. Jaylee Montague of W. C. was chairman of the projects committee. Their first project of the year was Greater Universit) I )ay in Chapel Hill. Council members gave a reception for Presi- dent Gordon Gray and represented the student bodies as hosts and hostesses at the inauguration. They adopted a plan by which exchange lectures from the three faculties could be called to speak on either of the three campuses. An active and widespread publicity campaign was planned so that students of the University would be made aware of plays, glee club concerts, and social functions occurring at all the schools. They planned for the exchange of programs among groups of similar interests. These activities are important steps forward toward the goal of greater unity. We are proud of the interest taken by the students in this attempt to work out the conflicting needs and common problems of the three schools that form the Greater University.

Legislature is the representath e voice oi Student Governmenl and Chairman Sarah Carter has worked with this organization to make it truly .1 mouthpiece ol .ill the students. Represenl ing the residence halls, the classes, and the organized stu dent groups from all parts ol campus, Legislature has dis- cussed and adopted ideas thai arc- nl concern to the entire student body. The National Student Association representa- tive was made a member of Legislature. The Busy sign idea that originated in S.G.A. ' s Pre-School Conference was tted on and put into operation by islatur ager make ,niv adjustment that will be beneficial to the students. Legislature re-vamped the Points System in certain cases in an effort to make the points carried more equally match the responsibility of the job and to distribute office-holdinu to a larger number of students. The faculty participates in tins organization, and we welcome their guidance. Bui at the same tune we appreciate their recognition of our own ability to do the main job Ourselves. This is a greater lesson than could be learned from any textbooks in making decisions and assuming responsi- bilities similai to those we shall meet after leaving this campus. Student Government did not begin with us this year, and we cannot take credit for its successful establishment. But our selection of leaders and the cooperation of faculty and student body in the smooth operation of S.G.A. ' s func- tions have carried on the tradition that is a part of the old WC and the plan of the new W ' C At table: Sarah Carter, Chairman, Marion Sifford, Secretary First row, left to right: Margaret Lewis, Mimi Lentz, Dot Copeland, Carol Byrd, Barbara Garvin, Gwen Homer, Jane Swindell, Betsy Howard.
