Student Council began with a kick-off dance after the first football game on September 10, against Con- cordia. Its purpose was to start the year off with student unity. Since Snider was to gain many new students in the fall, Student Coun- cil elections were postponed until November. But since some organiza- tion needed to be done before fall, a temporary Student Advisory Com- mittee was set up. It took over the officers ' job for the summer. Also, the officers generally elected in the spring, would have attended the Stu- dent Leadership Institute at Indiana University. Since there were no offi- cers, four students were elected from the Advisory Committee to go. These four were Joanne Eldridge, Terry Keay, Al Linkous and Diana Gaskill. October 18-22 was Spirit Week at Snider. This was a week full of decorations and excitement leading up to the football game against Cen- tral Catholic and the Spirit Week Dance. Spirit Week replaced the tra- ditional Homecoming. Carlabeth El- ster headed the committee that con- ceived and carried out these activities. At Christmas time, the council sponsored its annual project of giv- ing gifts and parties to the State Hos- pital. This was a very meaningful event for all the participants. Mike Erwin was the committee chairman. Ed Disser was chairman of the constitution Committee. He and his committee completely rearranged the Student Council Constitution, changing it from a lengthy series of articles to a more compact set of articles. Also, several deletions, revisions, and additions were made. The Communications Commit- tee was a new committee this year. It provided a long-needed channel by which student grievances, comments, questions, or suggestions could be aired. The chairman of the newly- formed committee was Terry Diskey. In mid-May, Election Board Chairman Diana Gaskill held Student Council officer elections for the fol- lowing year. This year was wrapped up as the new officers were installed. 126
