Seated: Edward Moskowitz, Faculty; CLUB COUNCIL The function of the Club Council was to co-ordinate all the activities of the more than forty clubs at Rhodes. Under the advisorship of Miss Torrusio, the Council did just that this year. Composed of one representative from every club, the Council elects an Executive Board. This select group (whose picture is seen above) works closely with the Faculty nd Administration to help all clubs at Rhodes develop their programs to the highest degree possible. Another function of the Council is the formation of new clubs. This we ve — year's addition to the club picture at Rhodes was the Fencing Club, which, thanks largely to the developmental work done by the Council, was a rollicking success. The Council held food sales and other fund-raising functions in order to give the clubs a tre asury from which funds could be drawn for expenses in the line of the clubs’ activities. The Council sponsored guest speakers at school, as well as films of general interest to the student body. A great deal of debate took place over the proper function of a body such as the Council. Internal reorganization was decided upon, and the Council plans to do just that next year. With this new organizational plan, plus plans for a revival of the old traditional Club Council Carnival, 1966 appears to be a challenging and exciting year for the Council. 70
