This is one reason why the new house councils were organized. Another reason was to let more people | participate in student government. | Last spring several members of Student Council attended the convention in Mississippi of the Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Govern- ments. This year the convention was at the University of Georgia. At these meetings the delegates learn various ways to better their own school’s student government.

Joint Council The Student Government Association at Coker is composed of all students. Student Council is the group elected by the entire Association to formulate needed regulations and put them into effect. Since these are the leaders of the student body, they strive to live up to the Coker ideal of Character, Culture and Christian Service and encourage all other members of the Association to do so. Student Council is the legislative body, while Joint Council is the judicial body of the Student Government Association. The two must work together closely, for their decisions affect everyone at Coker. Often students do not realize just how much time a Council member gives ato the many projects upon which she must work. Student Council is in charge of orientation of new students, publication of the Student Handbook, and a high school weekend. Student Council also directs competition for the Presi- dent’s Cup. For other projects the Council has an all-school picnic, a banquet, and a Christmas Dinner. The Council decorates the Christmas tree and selects novelty gifts for faculty members. Other time-consuming duties are also required of Council members. Presi- dent Suzanne DuRant must conduct all meetings and give certain permissions: she must let the seniors in at 12:00 on Saturday nights and answer the tele- MarIAN Duke, Chairman phone after 11:00. Marian Duke, vice-president of Student Council and chairman of Joint Council, conducts meetings of Joint Council, makes an- ' nouncements in the dining room, grants certain permissions, and arranges assigned tables in the dining hall. Secretary Emma Kate Thomason checks the sign-out cards every week, keeps a record of demerits, and takes care of all correspondence. The House Presidents must turn out certain lights every 94, 96
