:iiridi 5i ' HTrr STUDENT GOVERNMENT Binding Force Between Students and Administration With the difficult and endless purpose of representing the student body, the Student Government has been dedicated by its members to create a better coUege atmosphere. Through the work of the student government, the student super- vision boards of M.AC and W.AB have become more effective and the . lpha Nu Omega, an inter-club council, has been added as the newest branch of the student government. With their help, the student body was entertained by such groups as The Platters, The Tarns, and by a new addition known as the Coffeehouse Circuit. Early in the fall semester the student government executed a Campus Carnival which turned out to be an evening of laughs. These events, both social and admini- strative, were created through the execu- tive powers of the student government. Besides having the capable leadership of Tommy Tapp and Gary ' Jensen, special recognition should be given to Hallie Austin, secretary-treasurer. HalUe was probably the most influential power involved in the projects conducted by the organization. Through many hours of meetings and labor, the student government provided the vital link between the two different worlds of the student body and the administration. Serving as secretary-treasurer to the student body, Hallie Austin executed her many duties with tact and diplomacy. 24 -I vr Mta Ml

The authority which this position invests in a student carries with it a great deal of true leadership. In building leader- ship ability, and in maintaining under- standing between students and adminis- tration, the Women ' s .Affairs Board is fulfilling a vital function. A student organization devoted to maintaining the harmony of campus residing male students is the .Men ' s .Affairs Council. The main purpose of M.,A.C., as it is entitled, is to govern the male dormitory students. This is a difficult task because reprimanding a feUow stu- dent is not a desirable situation in which to find oneself. Aside from its primary function of governing, M..A.C. is the chief means of communication among the male students. It is the responsibility of . 1.-A.C. to inform the students of the adminis- tration ' s decisions and messages. The officers of M.A.C. are to establish respon- sibility with the students in eac h dormi- tory. The governing of students within the dorm range from the president to the two hall proctors on each floor. The individuals that make up M.A.C. are excellently qualified. Each person who wishes to maintain a position ' in M..A.C. is carefully screened by the Dean of Students before he is eligible. After the screening process, a ballot election of all residents determines the officials of M.A.C. • f ' . mi kA W JLl S 26 i:
