UNIVERSITY STUDENT COUNCIL GEORGE HARRIS HEALEY President STUDENT COUNCIL of West Virginia University is the governing organ of the student body. It consists of nine members, five of whom are selected from the campus at large, and four of whom are presidents of the four academic classes. The president of the Student Body, George Harris Healey, acts as its president in an ex officio capacity. Fiscal matters are referred to the Budget commission for review. This commission is an entirely separate organization which controls all student finances. The present administration is the first to function under the new con- stitutional provision for raising council funds by direct levy on each member of the student body, rather than by profits realized through the sale of dis- tinctive caps to male members of the Freshman class. The council, this year maintained the membership of the University in the National Student Federation of America, and sent three delegates to its annual convention held in Boston this year. The administration acted as hosts for the Student body during the con- vention of the West Virginia Federation of College Students, in which organ- ization it also holds membership. It has engaged itself actively in the functions and projects of Greater West Virginia Week sponsored through the efforts of the Do Something committee, a group of representative campus leaders. This week was held in May and was filled with representative campus functions. It opened with a formal address on May 1 I at the Regimental parade and review by Presi- dent Robert Armstrong, president of the University, and George Harris Healey, president of the Student Body. All classrooms, laboratories, and lectures were thrown open for visitation by the visiting parents and friends.
