Council Don Prevents Frosh Revolt FRESH START . . . SGA President Don Chenoweth ’63 di- rects officers Barb Lewis ’63, Mary Motto and Pat Thompson, juniors, as they compile this year’s football programs. Aud Lobby Gets Face Lifted Although freshmen aren’t ready to revolt, it is true that they will have no representatives until Nov. 8, fresh- man election day. However, Don Chen- oweth ’63, Student Council president, points out that “this interlude before their elections gives freshmen a chance to evaluate themselves and their class- mates in regard to their capabilities as class officers.” To give freshmen a clearer concept of just what Assumption’s Student Council is, Don also formulated this statement from information he gath- ered at the Iowa Association of Stu- dent Councils Summer Workshop last July in Cedar Falls: “The Student Council ts essen- tially an organization of students elected by students to serve as their respresentatives in matters of concern to the entire school. It is a means of student-faculty co-op- eration and understanding. The Student Council is a positive force of a working democracy and ex- ample of good citizenship. This year’s officers feel that Student Council is basically student par- ticipation. We are trying to think of our organization as a team — the more players we get working, the better our team will be. All our aims and objectives will at- tempt to fit the needs of the stu- dent body in accord and co-opera- tion with the responsibilities in- vested in us by the administra- tion.” In a talk given at this year’s first Student Council meeting, Fr. R. Wal- ter also added that the faculty can use the Council “to communicate to the rest of the sutdent body,” indicat- ing that the representation works both ways. Under the leadership of their new faculty advisors, Sr. M. Helen Regine, BVM, and Fr. Carlos Leveling, the of- ficers have outlined a vigorous fall program, the most important item of which is a revision of the SGA Con- stitution. Besides updating the docu- ment, the proposal includes the addi- tion of a new standing committee — faculty invitations — to improve fac- ulty-student relations. The Freshman Frolic is also being planned earlier this year. All class ard school elections are handled by the Council as well as Homecoming, Christmas Formal and almost all other dances. The members also compile the helpful Connections booklet, the school telephone directory. The auditorium lobby will get its face lifted. This “beauty treatment” is the gift of the class of '62; this year’s seniors even now are considering what their donation to the school will be. Girls Speak French “Parlez-vous-francaise” is a new sound whispered in the girls’ division, now that French is offered to juniors. Assumption’s first French teacher, Sr. Mary St. Gilberta, BVM, arrived this summer from Seattle, Wash. Be- sides French, she teaches senior reli- gion, Spanish I, and English III. Four other Sisters of Charity joined the teaching staff: Sr. Mary Ambro- sina, Sr. Mary Carola, Sr. Mary Jeanne, and Sr. Mary Ritella, BVM. Sr. Mary Carola, BVM, is the new chorus instructor for both varsity and freshman choruses. Fr. L. Mulligan, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s parish, is teaching Latin again this year. He taught this same course last year when Father Mann was ill, but now is one of the staff. Fr. Raymond Schwank, one of five new members of the boys’ division, is teaching senior religion and freshman Latin. New laymen are: Mr. Clint Weste- meyer, Mr. Dave Skemp, and Mr. Gary Simoens. The beautifying of the lobby will in- clude a large wall mural and tiled floor. In the center of the mural will be masks of comedy and tragedy, as well as a lyre to symbolize drama and music. On each side will be a cross and scroll, plus the Greek letters alpha and omega, repre- senting religion and education. Colors of the design will be regal blue, cherry-red, lemon yellow, black, berry brown and parchment. 20,000 pieces of tile weighing 1,500 lbs. will be used in the construction by the Tavegia Tile Co. The floor colors will be driftwood, reef brown, cocoa brown and wine. Grads Come Home Alumni will come home for Home- coming activities Oct. 12-13. The foot- ball game will be played Friday night against Davenport West and the dance will be the following night in the cafe- teria. Student Council members appointed as committee heads include: Pat Ham- mond on Homecoming buttons, John Burke and Jeff Gadient on the pep assembly, and Angie More and Tom Cusack on half time activities. Float committees are being handled by Sal- ly Cogan and Jack Hogan for the sen- ior floats, and Barb Egger and Pat Dray for the junior float. Hal Wiese and his orchestra will provide the music for dancing. 2
