Leadership and Service PETER ROSSITER WILLIAM Nix President Vice-President PRISCILLA NICKEL WILLIAM FREILICH Secretary Treasurer The Student's Council Student Council aimed at affecting actions for the school rather than practicing parlimentary procedure Student Council operated with the philosophy that it must continually strive to be the student's councill' rather than an interschool forensic league. Concentrating main- ly on internal problems, Council legislation dealt with a great variety of matters, such as the Human Relations Por- um charter Cpassedb, the opening of the Student Lounge to seniors, a Freshman Crientation Program, Student Teaching Week, and the Dining Hall bill Qdefeatedl, increasing stu- dent participation in Council activities. The most important project was the Code of Ethics re- vision. Initiated by Presidents Peter Rossiter and Rod Pe- tersen and Heads of Honor Andy llloore and Bob Kuenzel, it was designed to stimulate student thought and come to grips with ethical problemsfl Through effective publicity and thought-provoking discussion the revision moved to an all-school referendum in which each student voted either for the old Code, the revised Code, or no Code. The Council board members worked together to gain more active student participation in Council events. Beth hlilwid and Al Pollack, heads of Unity and Spirit, organ- ized a motorcade to Waukegaii, pep rallies, and sock hops. Having been proposed by George Drake, head of Recre- ation, the Student Lounge bill was passed, allowing seniors to go to the Student Lounge instead of study hall. As head of Coordinations Jan Lerner inaugurated the first annual banquet for representatives, board members, and their par- ents. The Study Hall department, headed by Nancy Scott and Arno Kahn, and Matt Lawlor, head of Library, held training workshops for their supervisors and combined the white card and green card systems into one system for both the study halls and the library. Co-heads of Dining Hall Chris Chase and lklick Tauber maintained a competent staff of supervisors while coping with the crowded conditions of inter-class lunch halls. ln his election speech, Peter Rossiter promised to give Council a year of decisionfl Indeed, he far surpassed his goal and make the l965-l966 Student Council the most successful and best informed ever at New Trier. Rodney Petersen's l966-l967 Council shows promise in continuing to be Hthe studentls council.
