Working as one to benefit many Some called it a popularity contest; others called it an election, but either way it all narrowed down to one thing: student coun- cil. Student council was a group of people working together as one to make plans to benefit the student body. Once every other week about 45 students gathered during class time to discuss student council plans. We were fortunate, commented student council advisor Fred Weiss, most student councils in the Fort Wayne area met on their own time. Concordia got free class time. Student council was put together to get people involved, to take care of social functions, and to bring students together on a non-academic level. All four of the stu- dent council officers seemed to take the criti- cism that the students gave them, and tried to learn from their mistakes to improve things, commented Weiss. Every meeting seemed to go smoother — things worked better by the end of the year. Every meeting was a chance to gain experience, said student council vice-presi- dent Cheryl Weiss. Student council served as a sounding board for new ideas from the board or facul- ty, giving students a chance to get involved in decisions. The student body needed to be more intelligent towards certain decisions and activities. A lot of people wanted to state their opinions even when they didn ' t know what was going on. Students needed to get involved before giving input, stated student council treasurer Lance Hoffman. Student council gave students a chance to voice their opinions concerning decisions made around Concordia, stated student council president Scott Hille. Getting students involved with school ac- tivities and with each other was the key to success for student council. I ran for fresh- man treasurer to become involved in school. I thought it was a good way to expose myself to different kinds of people, and a way to get myself involved with school activities, stat- ed freshman Becky Gemmer. Student council provided the student body with dances, fund raisers, and competi- tions between classes. The majority of the student body participated in and enjoyed these activities. We wanted to serve the students. We tried to please the majority; we may not have been able to please all the students all the time but we tried, stated Hille. — Karla Maraldo 1985-86 Student Council. FRONT ROW: J. Simpson, C.
