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.

Naturally this new independent home life has a Few restric- tions, which are made lcnown to all Geneseols newcomers. The black-out of lights at eleven-thirty, the dash to get in on time, the phone silencer after eight, and those special late per- missions-all play their part in maintaining a normal existence for the Geneseoites. Through the l-louse presidents' Federation, the students pro- mote a happy medium of fun and conformance to necessary regulations. Back Row Cunningham, Bowes, Anderson, Gilbert, B.
