A difficult transition, perhaps, if it were done with- out the help of Student Government. A name and a few officers? Not at Phoenix Union. Everyone gets a chance to be a part of Student Government through Student Council and all kinds of elections-student body, League and Federation, class, and council. EVERY STUDENT felt the responsibility of an adult citizen when ballots came his way. Each could voice his opinion through a representative in Student Council, or protest leg- islation through the same source. THERE WAS THE Board of Control, which gave the officers an opportunity to get at the administrative end of government. lt was a sounding-off board for students who wished to protest demerits. lt was the executive body of Student Council. BUT STUDENT GOVERNMENT wouldn't have succeeded if the student body hadn't co-operated. lt was through your interest that the leaders knew what was needed and wanted. lt was through you, the loyal Coyote, the Student Government became A a working reality instead of an ideal.

We'lI keep it that way by showing interest, taking part, being real Coyotes! 1 as 1 4 ,U , x U O 4-4 .i O N l, .5'9t 7i4l ALL THESE amalgamated things make the Student t Q . SX is n -aw 5
