Rap, rap, rapl 'The meeting will please come to order! With these familiar words, the presi- dent of Student Co-Operative Government opens the semi-monthly meetings ofthe organization. The entire student body participates in these meetings, which are held in the auditorium of Old Main. Such vital questions as recreations, reverse date weelt-end, the budget, library seniors holding Student Government otiices, and other general school problems vvere discussed and voted upon this year, amid much heated and healthy controversy. By having this form of government, the students receive much that is of value. Since they are closely concerned with the many problems at hand, they learn to malce Wise decisions, which will benefit the school as a whole and not just a few individuals. Free expression ol opinion is en- couraged, and this leads to a Final vote which reflects the opinion of the majority of the student body. Parliamentary procedure is closely observed, and this knowledge of the rules of order proves most valuable to the student body in other situations. Student government is the rule ofthe people, and under the guidance of capable leaders chosen by the students, the Geneseo Student Co-operative Government moves forward to more outstanding achievements each year.

Then, too, a lcnovvledge oisubject matter always is essential in maintaining that high average. For those unlortunates who have Found the C average unattainable there is the Faculty Council, that group of department heads, who set as their aim the readjustment of such Floundering individuals. The inside story is that the Faculty Council really attempts to help the belovv-average student analyse the snares which have made his school lite unsuccessful in an academic sense. These snares are many and varied, ranging from an over-laden extra- curricular program to an improper budgeting oi worlcing time. Opening the way to a new start For these students is the Councils chiei aim. The maintenance ol a high scholastic record is not the only raison d'etre oi the Faculty Council. The members of this organization are constantly striving For the betterment ot Geneseo Normal School in many vvays. Through their combined etiorts, scholarship and student liie here are being constantly improved to the benefit oi all concerned. se it FACULTY CGLINCIL it 'I3
