PRO AND CON STUDENT GOVERNMENT There is always the danger, when the head of a government turns introspective that he will gloss over the weaknesses of his administration. I will try to be as objective as possible in my appraisal of Student Government this year. The Cabinet, which I set up after my election, proved to be the backbone of Student Government. It was here that the actual work was done in serving the needs of the students All the planning, co ordinatmg, 1n short, the Executive side of Student Government was done here Everything from the daily announcements to the planning of rallies was accompl1shed 1n the Cabinet, by myself and the Chairmen I appointed When school began this year, Student Government was over S700 1n debt By the middle of the second quarter, this debt was erased and the Student Body Treasury was placed at plus S300 Th1s was due largely to the first three dances of the year which were successfully organized by the Dance Com mittee With the combined effort of a hard working staff and Activities Director Mr Sumner, the newly formed Student Services Committee was very successful It effectively took over responsibilities which the school had previously handled Sopho more Jackets, Junior rings, book sales and many other services were supervized by this committee Through the year, the Student Services Com- mittee handled many thousands of dollars for the students. The Spirit and Special Events Committee worked closely together in planning events at Mitty. The rally hosted by Crazy George, Careers Day, the Christmas Assembly and Chaminade Day are but a few examples of the events which these two com- mittees coordinated and executed The Student Senate this year was for the most part composed of Homeroom Presidents who were keenly interested in Student Government Followmg the original 1n1tat1ve of the Faculty concerning a new form of government at Mitty, the Student Senate quickly acted to review and ratify the proposal It then proceeded to redefine 1B6lf in relatlon to this new system of government even before the other sectors of the school had accepted the proposal For the first time, members of the Student Senate th1S year were afforded the opportunity to act side by side Wlfh. Faculty members 1n important policy making committees ln one case, the Supervision Committee, a Homeroom President was elected as Chairman Student Government did not function w1thout pro blems this year The worst of these was in the area of communicating internal events within the government to students This was partly due to the shortness and mfrequency of homeroom meetings . -li B1 Mike eff Brad Craig Steve Bartnng Bergkamp Bergmann Bonnett Boston BraShe21' IKLLKTIONSHIP 74- 5 5 if 4 Q 1 . , . . . . . - .
