Council takes in student convocation The Student Council has the responsible role of inte- grating all campus activities to ensure that the educa- tional purposesof the Administration are appreciated and understood by the students. Thus the activities of both the faculty and the student body are brought in to harmony and the name of Canisius receives its full- est meaning. This year student government reached unparalleled success and spirit with the reorganization of the Stu- dent Council. The Council devised a system of repre- sentatives in which the voice of each student could be heard. Students with similar interests and obiectives formed a' basic group. Representatives were choseff by these basic groups who were to serve as their councilmen at the Council's bi-weekly meeting! Under the able direction of Joe Crangle, President of the Council, various committees were established to Pondering over Council problem aid the smooth function of extra-curricular activities and social aFFairs which were held by the college. Last Fall, the Council supervised Freshmen orientation and formecl an Out of Towners Club to make the new members of the College feel at home. The Big Three from the Little Three
