JUNIOR AND SENIOR COUNCILS The purpose of the -Iunior and Senior Councils at Char- lotte is to discuss the prohlems that arise within these councils or among the students whom they represent. and to present recomniendations to the Executive Coun- cil. A history of fine cooperation and hard work in these councils has given Charlotte its tradition of successful student government. As an integral part of our govern- ment. these councils have certain powers delegated to them hy the Constitution of the Students' Association: hut beyond this. they give the students a practical ap- prenticeship in deinocrztcy. Throuuh their planning of and participation in school functions. student representa- tives and officers have a fine opportunity to learn what democracy means and grow to love, cherish, and pro- tect it.
