r:. w student councils A college or university located in a large city experiences difficulty in selecting and successfully completing a program of social activities which can compete with the diversified attractions on tap. This problem is multiplied at Cleveland Col- lege—located at the hub of Cleveland and con- taining such a large percentage of older part-time students. That the college social activities are so well attended is a tribute to he leadership and ingenuity of the two Student Councils which super- vise all extra-curricular events. bert Gandal, President Al Lickert.

To the casual pedestrian Cleveland College is but another gaunt outline on the public mall, but the more curious critic might pause and wonder at this building with its large red and white placard inviting all to higher and increased learn- ing. While his searching gaze reveals no ivy- covered walls, no elm-shaded lanes, and no aging gray stone dormitories, he concludes that this could be no ordinary college. With his curiosity stimulated and abounding with questions, he hastens thorugh the portals. That this is no ordinary institution of learn- ing we readily admit. Cleveland College faces a responsibility of presenting an educational pro- gram which will meet the needs and requirements of an adult living in a complex world, not only tomorrow but today. The majority of students have full or part-time jobs, and for them the neces- sity of facing the problems of life is vital in the immediacy, but their education must also prepare them with knowledge and skills applicable to the improvement of the future. Cleveland College will- ingly assumes this assignment not only in the school of arts and sciences and the school of busi- ness administration, but equally extends its guid- ing hand through the school of general studies. Education in this college is not tied down to conventional methods, subjects, or procedures. Cleveland College feels that the growth and development of the individual is not solely restricted to the classroom in making him an effective and responsible citizen. Rather, students are encouraged to integrate their program with extra-curricular activities which in turn stimulates their intellectual pursuits while fitting it to a prac- tical application.

- -V Barbara hie, Al Collins Adolph Hamburg Al Chattin, Delores Bianchi, Secretary The Administration and the Faculty Commit- tee on Student Affairs hereby grant to the Student power to plan and carry out a program of non- Governing Association of Cleveland College the academic student activities as herein provided. So reads Section I, from this year ' s new Grant of Power. This is the resultant action from the realization that the powers of the student councils were elusively inconcrete in the conduct of student affairs. A committee of students and faculty col- laborated to draw up a new Grant of Power. A draft of the proposed grant was drawn, dis- carded, redrawn, thrown out, and redrafted; then it made the rounds from the day council, to the evening council, to the faculty innumerable times for rewriting, editing, and rewording, until finally it was adopted by all concerned. One eminent achievement from this new grant is official recognition of the Evening Council, which, although it represented over three-fourths of the students, had been slightly more than another dinner club. This year the Evening Council, under the leadership of a new president, Charles Carroll, has been pounding into its duties with all the power of Luke Easter slugging one over the fence. Carroll believes that the aim of the Evening Council should be to achieve a posi- tion in which . . . (they) can cooperate effectively in providing programs that will be of interest to all the students. As part of a program of self-improvement, the Evening Council is now advocating a new series of rules for admission — including comple- tion of a minimum of twelve hours at Cleveland College and a minimum grade level which has not yet been determined. The Evening Council tries to sponsor activities which will be of interest to all students. Last summer a dance was held at the Statler Hotel and a Splash Party at the Fenn Al Chattin, Robert Carroll.
