QTUDENT GOVERNMENT Effective student government is one of the most important factors in running a college or university smoothly. This year’s group, under the able direction of Council President Leo Bares, was quite successful in functioning as a representative body of the students on campus. The group consisted of: Leo Bares, president; John Gengler, vice-president; Doreen Johnson, secretary; Robert Scott, treas- urer; Doyle Dotson, athletic commissioner; Lola DeFoe, social commissioner; Noell Hamann, publications commissioner; Don Gratz, music commissioner; Cliff Balzer, senior class; Rod Nibbc. junior class; Dean Bachmeier, sophomore class; Joan Messmcr, freshman class; Bernett Reinke, Men’s Union; Vaun Dalee Rhodes, Association of Women Students. The major accomplishment of the 1962 Student Council was the establishment of a Scholarship and Loan Fund under the auspices of the Student Council. Another project undertaken by the 1962 governmental body was the revision of the Constitution of the Student Association. The most important of the revisions, according to the Student Council, was the change which now makes it impossible for sophomores to hold any posts but those of music commissioner and treasurer. Both the president and vice-president must be seniors according to the new revisions. All the other positions can be filled by either seniors or juniors. Traffic violations were another matter that the 1962 group covered under new legislation. Traffic tickets were printed and distributed to faculty members and Council members alike for use in cases of violation. 30

The 1962 Student Council of Dickinson State College was probably one of the most constructive student governments in years. Its major project was the founding of a student Council Scholarship and Loan Fund. For the fine accomplishments of this group during the past year, the 1962 Prairie Smoke dedicates this section of the book to the Student Council. KEYS TO SOCIAL LIFE
