« - . rresice = - dership enabled the Congress to accomplish much during the second semester. = The Congress is not always serious, as Chuck Hall and corresponding secretary Morlene Gransinger, prove after freshman orientation. The Congress Office is the scene of many strange occurances. Senator Diana Thompson and treasurer John Janik discover the recording secretary, Nancy Smith, giving Senator Kurt Herring a much-needed trim! 92 it Hall questions, discusses, and many times answers the problems brought to the Congress. Student Congress is the back- bone of the student government, and in the past year has made great strides in the organization and management of all.the clubs and activities here on campus. During the fall semester, the Congress was headed by ‘Tom Carlin, a pre-med major. John Charles (Chuck) Hall was Tom’s able-bodied, right-hand man with the position of vice-president. The recording secretary was Nancy Smith, and she was always seen with either pen in hand or seated at a typewriter frantically attempt- ing to finish the minutes in time for the meetings. Filling the posi- tion of corresponding secretary was Marlene Gransinger, who saw to it that everyone was notified of all meeting times and places. The treasurer was John Janik who did a fine job of managing the books and monies for the Congress. The fall semester Cabinet and Congress incorporated many firsts into all the annual events. Nine- teen sixty-six, fall, saw the first an- nual Homecoming, the first edition of the ASTRON, the first Inter- Club Council, as well as the Hon- or’s Assembly, two Hootenannies, and all the normal campus activities. The Spring semester Cabinet was the same as that of the Fall se- mester except for the absence of Mr. Carlin, who decided to devote all of his time to school and his work. Chuck Hall was the new president, and taking his place as vice-president is freshman, Douglas Fix. To keep up the “first’’ activi- ties started during the Fall semes- ter, Mr. Hall initiated PUCC’s first Prom. The Activities Banquet and a book sale between semesters, both annual events, were held during his successful term of office.
