Then, too, a knowledge olsubject matter always is essential in maintaining that high average. For those untortunates who have found the HC average unattainable there is the Faculty Council, that group oi department heads, who set as their aim the readjustment of such iloundering individuals. The inside story is that the Faculty Council really attempts to help the below-average student analyse the snares which have made his school liie unsuccessful in an academic sense, These snares are many and varied, ranging from an over-laden extra- curricular program to an improper budgeting of worlcing time. Gpening the way to a new start for these students is the Councils chiefaim. The maintenance ol a high scholastic record is not the only raison d'etre ofthe Faculty Council. The members of this organization are constantly striving for the betterment of Geneseo Normal School in many ways, Through their combined etiorts, scholarship and student lite here are being constantly improved to the benelit of all concerned. if ff FACULTY COUNCIL if 13

Rap, rap, rapl The meeting will please come to orderll' With these Familiar words, the presi- dent of Student Co-Qperative Government opens the semi-monthly meetings of the organization. The entire student body participates in these meetings, which are held in the auditorium of Qld Main. Such vital questions as recreations, reverse date vveel4-end, the budget, library seniors holding Student Government ohfices, and other general school problems were discussed and voted upon this year, amid much heated and healthy controversy. By having this form of government, the students receive much that is oi value. Since they are closely concerned with the many problems at hand, they learn to mal4e wise decisions, which will benefit the school as a whole and not just a few individuals. Free expression of opinion is en- couraged, and this leads to a Final vote which reflects the opinion ofthe majority of the student body. Parliamentary procedure is closely observed, and this lcnovvledge of the rules of order proves most valuable to the student body in other situations. Student government is the rule ofthe people, and under the guidance oi capable leaders chosen by the students, the Geneseo Student Co-operative Government moves lorvvard to more outstanding achievements each year.
