Student Council Quarterbacking f o r the Southern Oregon Raiders of 1950-1951 was handled by the Stu- dent Council. They made the decisions and called the plays in many tough situations. But when the game was over and the final gun had sounded, victory was ours. The basic play of the year was the completion and ratification of a brand new constitution. This play made many goals possible and al- though not perfect, cur- ed many of the team's numerous a c h e s and pains. Other strategy includ- ed: budgeting of Student Body funds, sponsorship and direction of such an- nual events as the Home- coming Week-end in the fall, Campus Day in the spring, and the Greyback Retreat.
