STUDE T COUNCIL . . . jack Vinson, President of Student Council, 1950-51 l 18 Student Council at Cornell is the link between the student body, faculty, and administration, and as such works for the co-ordination of these three elements of student government. It is the unifying force behind undergraduate activities. To fulhll these purposes, the Council is divided into an Executive Committee and various Student-Faculty Committees, including Stu- dent Conduct, Student Activities, Athletic Board, Health and Hygiene, Orientation Advisory, and Pub- lic Events. The Council itself is made up of the presidents and secretaries of the men's classes, the presidents of the women's classes, the presidents of IFC, IC, YVSGA, CURYV, Ag-Domecon, Pan-Hellenic Council, and WVillard Straight Hall, plus the presi- dents of the councils of the various colleges. The editor of the Sun has a seat ex ollicio. This year's Executive Committee-jack Vinson, Harry Coyle, Sally VVilliamson, Bill Ispirian, and John Lankenau- met once a month with the administration and the heads of organizations' to discuss prevalent campus problems. The Thursday night meetings of the Coun- cil are open to the student body and are scenes of discussion in all matters dealing with school and stu- dent. Aside from its regular administrative activities. the Student Council sponsored a workshop on campus affairs this year in an effort to make members more conscious of student interests.

Each year the Student Council invites mass sign- ups among the student body for membership in the Student Council Committees, membership being by appointment of the Council. These committees obtain closer unity of the body while leaving the Council free for administrative duties. The Frosh Orientation Committee makes all plans for orientation week, while the Desk Book Com- mittee gives the incoming students an idea of campus life and what to expect from it. The work of the Survey Committee stimulates campus thinking. The other committees-YVelfare, Charities, Elections, VVeek End, Book Exchange, Education, and Curriculum were supplemented this year by the Public Relations Committee, which informs the student body of Coun- cil acconiplishments. and it COMMITTEE CH A I R M E N : Top Row: Ronald Arky, jack Levin, Perry Gittlcson, Robin Harper.
