H31 N' ,gh-: ' , f 'ly Student Government Association Accepting the thesis that student government arises out of the needs and desires of the student body, the 1965.66 its Program of activity. Operating throughout the summer months, Council members synthesized years of protest with triumphant victories over administrative restriction which led to the paving of the parking lots, extension of the dormi- tory curfews, and ultimately, the return of cigarette sales. Student government was not content with summer success, the Orientation Committee, capably directed the largest fresh- man class in C. W. Post College history. Under the philosophy that the Student Council exists to express, not suppress, the demands of the studentf' three committees worked diligently to present the problems of the students to the administrative body. The efforts of the Stu- dent life Committee, under Ronald Sylvestri, the Grievance Committee, under Werner Schmidt, and the Student Advisory Committee, under Stephen Spector and Stephen Gaylor met with unprecedented success. Through their efforts, the Christ- mas and Easter vacations were extended, the speed bumps were removed, the food service was improved, the problems of the bookstore and registration eased, vending machines installed, the library hours extended. Through a Student Council column in the school newspaper, students were ad- vised of the problems of the school and of Council efforts to alleviate them. Student-administrative relations reached a ,zenith of ef- ficiency through regular meetings and student-faculty com- mittees. Inter-school prestige was enhanced by the establish- ment of the Long Island University Senate and the proposals for a Long Island Council of Colleges, both at the initiative of C. W. Post College. Meanwhile, intra-school relations bet- tered as the Student Council joined with other campus or- ganizations in support of a policy of mutual cooperation, to the advantage of the Post student. Under the direction of Ralph Fusco and James Lafferty, the Judicial Council was reformulated and its scope of pow- ers increased. Student Council Treasurer, Jim Brennan, gave C. W. Post its first complete Student Council budget, while the history of the Council was penned by Nina Panaseny. Strong support was accorded to the new committee on ath- letics, under Stuart Silver, and the formulation of a Student Leadership Program. The efforts of Susan Sleeper led to the rewarding Student Government Lecture Series. James Farmer, Norman Thomas and Jules Feiffer were met with spectacular student enthusi- asm in a program which will hopefully become an institu- tion at Post. In the realm of social affairs, Student Council continued to fill the calendar with su-ch sell-out functions as Home- coming, Winter Vlfeekend, Spring Weekend and S.G.A. Con- certs. Most important, The Student Council fought stubbornly to maintain the autonomous nature of C. W. Post College within -the greater university complex. We are proud of our efforts and achievements, thankful to Dean DelVIarr as our adviser, and, most of all, grateful to our fellow students for their support and cooperation.
