Student Council THE Undergraduate Association, to which every girl in the college belongs, elects Student Council on the basis of inTerest and abil- ity of candidates in each particular field, and does not elect it care- lessly or disinterestedly, so that Student Council should provide an effec- tive center for Student Government. It consists of the four Undergradu- ate Officers, the four class presidents, the Editor of Bulletin, the Honor Board Chairman, the President of the Athletic Association, and the Presi- dent of the Dormitories. Student Council has complete executive pow- ers. It aims to be an unbiased body, and to consider fairly both sides of any guestion. It endeavors to follow different student activities, and to form a link between the faculty and the students. It does not wish to have its meetings shrouded in secrecy, and welcomes any students to these meetings when they wish to bring up any matters concerning college ac- tivities. A fallacy has arisen that Student Council is a closed corpora- tion. On the contrary, in endeavoring to represent student opinion, it is necessary that it keep in close contact with all student activities, and though these activities are varied and numerous, it aims to follow them as fully as possible. Though Student Council has complete freedom in all affairs within the college, as yet matters involving outside relations or important changes of policy must be approved by the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs. An important problem presented this year is the matter of outside affilia- tions. Several groups feel that too many difficulties are placed in the way of affiliating with outside organizations. Among other things, Student Council sends delegates to inter-col- legiate conferences, deals with the problems and reguests of different student organizations, presents all problems of legislation to Representa- tive Assembly, and meets regularly with the Dean and the Faculty Commit- tee on Student Affairs, to discuss matters concerning the college, and present student opinion to the faculty as well as gain some knowledge of faculty opinion in order to present it to the students. Student Council is kept busy with innumerable problems, and in the future many of the more important ones may be presented to Representative Assembly, so that Student Government may be in closer direct contact with college opinion.
