ll Mitchell's 1970-1971 Cabinet was a vivacious group of students who worked diligently with the new sponsor of Student Organization, Mr. Edward Sandoval, through- out the year to improve the relations among all students, Black, White, and Chicano, and also with faculty mem- bers in order to obtain a more harmonious atmosphere. This goal was accomplished by undertaking many tasks, including that of the re-stationing of the suggestion box and the formation of a Student Relations Council as a part of Student Affairs. Cabinet members started off the year by holding a summer orientation program and Mitchabaloo, to acquaint all incoming and new students with the school. Then Homecoming was upon them, and they worked to pro- duce a winning float, Cinderella,', and a winning Home- coming 1970. Numerous other activities, including sell- ing LooArt posters, sponsoring a folk festival and the spring Carnival involved planning by the Cabinet. They ended their year in office with the traditional Insignia Day and dance. Members of the 1970-1971 Cabinet were President Jerry Ellington, Vice President Karen Madsen, Secretary of Records Sue McCormick, Secretary of Treasury Larry Borland, Secretary of Publicity Melinda Small, Secretary of Social Activities Mary Gosnell, Secretary of Assemblies Rachel Brown, Secretary of Morale Les Freeman, Secre- tary of Courtesy Pat Busch, Secretary of Student Aifairs Lynne Horkowitz, Secretary of Academic Affairs LeAnn Shepard, Chairman of Council, DeAnn Hiatt, and Mr. Edward Sandoval, Faculty Sponsor.
