Throughout its 15-year history, Valley College has had executive councils that have ranged in performance from good to less than mediocre. This year the college has been blessed with student officers who have directed an upsurge in student participation in all phases of campus life. At the semi-annual Executive Council-IOC banquet held in january, these officers received the final recog- nition of their service for the semester. The awards they received are really small compensation for the long hours council members put in guiding the school. Of the six Council members who received out- standing service trophies for first semester work, only one, Henry Miller, returned for the second semester. Miller, A.S. treasurer in the fall, assumed the presi- dency of the student body at the banquet, only minutes after reciving his service trophy. During the fall Miller planned and applied the larg- est budget in the history of the college, a sum well exceeding 3180,000. Marilyn McMahon had the time-consuming job of recording the minutes of all Council meetings. Along with jack Easton, Jan Yacobellis, Miller, Colleen Fer- guson and Student Activities Dean William E. Lewis, she represented the school at the state government con- vention in Asilomar. semesters reward Deon Lewis thanks the council for its gift Q personalized deskmemo

Yacobellis is confronted by an array of club representatives desiring recognition. .lan attempts to answer a representc1tive's question while secretary Sally Case looks on in rapt silence. United in IOC, the inter-organization of clubs at Valley, is a forum of the 54 approved campus organizations, bound together for one purpose-service to the school. Helping assist the clubs in promoting campus and social activities is Jan Yacobellis, IOC president and vice president of the Executive Council. Dr. Margaret Crawford, assistant dean of student activities, is faculty consultant for the IOC. For the first time in its 14-year history, IOC has made it mandatory for clubs to be represented at the meetings by their presidents. Formerly, clubs could be represented by any member. In explaining this point, Miss Yacobellis stated, Under our new system club presidents, who are best equipped to explain the problems and functions of their clubs, attend our meetings, and as a result, communica- tion between the IOC and club members has been improved considerably. The clubs work throughout the semester, trying to gain activity points which are credited towards the most Active Club on Campus trophy. The award is given on a point basis, with points being awarded for activities such as voting, Club Day and club attendance at school functions.
