Student Council Reorganizes Student Council was full of change this year. While an interim council took the responsibility of student activity an organized structure was planned for elections. After study of other school governments, the Council formed a new consti- tution. This form of government emphasized simplicity and ability to get work done. In addi- tion to the role in events, the Council became more involved in community affairs. This aspect was highlighted by Alleman's participation in Project Relief. Student involvement was empha- sized with volunteer non-elected members on both the Dress Code and Constitution Commit- tees. The Student Faculty Board was used more effectively as a mediator between the students and the administration in the many policy changes the Council brought about this year. 20 Activities
