JTUDENT COUNCIL JPRINGBOARD Because of the increase of students in the college, the Student Council has been strengthened consid- erably with the mature views of the veterans who have enrolled. The enlarged student body and the many improvements in the building have pre- sented new problems which the student organiza- tion had to face throughout the year. During the past year, a great many changes have been witnessed in both the appearance and the content of the Springboard. Operating under a predominantly war-veteran staff, the school paper has returned to an improved, printed version with pictures and has aiTiliated itself with the Associated Collegiate Press.
