STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL The Student Advisory Council is the “voice” of the students at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute. Membership in the Council is comprised of one representative and one alternate from each curriculum area elected in October each year. Students are urged to maintain close contact with the Council and to feel free to initiate activities or other matters of common interest through the Council. The Faculty Committee for Student Activities works closely with the Student Advisory Council in all matters pertaining to the Council and student activities. The officers of the Council, president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, are elected by a popular vote. Candidates must have a petition containing signatures of 35 full-time students prior to declaring their candidacy. Officers for 1969—1970 were elected by the Student Body during the sixth week of the Fall Quarter. They were as follows: President, Lawson Summerrow, a student in Tool and Die Making; Vice-President, Roger Mason, a second-year Data Processing student; Secretary, Joy Taylor, a second-year Secretarial Science student; and Treasurer, Barbara Burris, a second-year Data Processing student. Mrs. Mary Louise Carpenter, Faculty Sponsor, is present at all Student Ad- visory Council meetings. Each candidate running for a particular office made speeches prior to the election to the Student Body as to what they hoped to accomplish if elected. 9
