Council sets goal: Killing apathy Behind Intercampus President Shar Hillman's campaign motto “Shoot for a Star, the main goal of Student Council this year became reaching as many students as possible. From Homecoming to Student Council week. Council kept busy keeping the students busy. The year started with the annual Student Council-Faculty Picnic. While some members babysat with faculty children, the rest took part in the softball game against the teachers with the teachers coming out on top again. The first student activity to test out Council efforts in reaching more students was the Back-to-School dance. For the first time, a live band played. Approximately 500 students attended, dancing to the music of PEGR. Shar Hillman said after the dance, “We did it!” Change characterized Homecoming. Despite much student complaint, it was successful. Class skits and coronation took place on Thursday evening with the senior class “Joel Cool”: Joel Steinfeldt struts his stuff on Crazy Day during Student Council Week taking the honors. Friday night events took place in the stadium. Seniors won class competition while juniors took the spirit stick for the pep rally. The cheerleaders led the crowd to the paper bonfire. Despite the complaints about having paper only, the bonfire helped to raise spirit. Events began early on Saturday with the parade. The Senior float highlighted the parade, centering around the theme of “Rainbow’s End. Perhaps the biggest change was the football game held in the afternoon. The Homecoming Dance topped off a very successful weekend. Council held many fundraisers for various charities. Beich candy bars brought in $500 for the Crisis Center for abused children. The rainbow collection of magnets, coasters, placemats, and write-on-wipe-off memo boards raised $1180 to benefit TAPS animal shelter. Council also collected $225 in canisters for muscular Dystrophy. Casting their votes, Jim McCoy and Dave VanDyke get ballots for the election on West Campus. First semester Student Council: first row: Bethany Bernier. Karen Kelley, Jan Adelsbcrgcr. Dawn Downing.
