A new experiment in student democracy was inducted into the administrative functions of City College on April 17, 1936, when the student council and council of homeroom presidents were merged into what is now known as the Student Advisory Council. Prior to this time, the Student Council and Class Organization system were two separate bodies, with overlapping purposes and functions. When the necessity for a change was recognized action was taken by members of the faculty and the student body. Profs. Oscar L. Helm and Riley S. Williamson continued their work as advisers. Bruce Pelto defeated Walter W. Hamill and Charles Fetter for the presidency in the first elec- tion. Fetter became vice president; and Hamill, secretary. An executive board was created consist- ing of seven seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and one freshman. Under the leadership of the second president, Raymond Grelecki, the “Baltimore City College New Deal of 1938” was originated, and in 1939 “A Square Deal” was the slogan of Felix Griffin, president, and his council. This program is being carried on in 1940 under the able direction of Raymond Swartzback. The organization by meetings and assemblies tries to interest students in school activities and to make them self-reliant and dependable by hand- ling their own student problems. The main policy of this able group is one of “Peace and tran- quillity—the summons, a last resort.” The executive department is presided over by 27 S.A.C. Standing: Prof. Helm, Rokos, DiOrge, Johnson, Insley, Pat- terson, Biller, Pillsbury, Rig- gin, Swartzback, Markel. Seated: Weston, Hartnett, Ar- thur, Kieval, Chesney, Macht. the president. He is elected from the Junior Class in May preceding his term of office. The vice president is elected from the Junior or Senior Class in September. The secretary is elected by the Student Advisory Council in September. Powers of the legislative body are to discuss and vote on resolutions and amendments passed by the Executive Board and to govern the student body. The Executive Board is composed of fifteen mem- bers elected by the S. A. C. Their term is for one year, and they hold weekly meetings. The Board acts as a court for trial of impeachments and as a nominating committee in the presidential elec- tion. An integral part of the government is the Stu- dent Court. At this time, it is presided over by Chief Justice Melvin Sykes. The chief justice is appointed by the Executive Board. The vice presi- dent of the student government acts as associate justice. The court is in session from September to June and convenes every week on Wednesday afternoon. The rostrum of the court consists of the two justices, a clerk, a sergeant-at-arms, and a fore- man of a jury of five. Appeals can be made in all cases to the presiding judge and jury. The Student Advisory Council also sponsors important campaigns. The Christmas Basket Drive, which brings joy to many families, is one of its functions. An important group is the Resolutions Committee. of the S. A. C. to which students as homerooms can submit their resolutions. The Stu- dent Aid Fund is actively supported by the Student Advisory Council.
