WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN Each year, a specified number of students are selected by the Student Council and approved by the faculty committee for inclusion in the 1966 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Selections are made on the basis of scholarship, participation and leader¬ ship in academic and extra-curricular activities, citizenship, service to the school and promise of future achievement. Award winners receive a certificate of recognition awarded by the organ¬ ization and presented at the school; recognition in the annual publication for the year during which he was selected in the form of a write-up of his college and personal record, and a listing in the Index under the college from which he was nominated. The organization also has a Student Placement Service which helps assist students in making employment contacts or by supplying letters of recommendation. The annual struggle of the Student Council to make its Who’s Who Awards was carried on at an extended meeting of that body. It took approxi¬ mately five hours for the Council to air its differences and get down to the actual voting. When the vote was finally taken by the Council, justice was served in the granting of the award to twenty seniors and one pseudo-senior. DANIEL CLANCY JACK CRISPI PAUL DeBENEDICTIS

At the last meeting of the ’65 Student Council, the constitutional revisions which called for the creation of a Student Activities Council were passed overwhelmingly. S.A.C. would be composed of rep¬ resentatives from every recognized club and frater¬ nity in the school. The duties of the Student Activi¬ ties Council were to make rules and regulations for all of the student organizations, including dances, celebrations , student customs and, use their influ¬ ence in every possible way to further approved activities. At the very outset, it was soon discovered that the S.A.C. constitution left much to be desired. Chairman Daniel Clancy, and Vice-Chairman Paul DeBenedictis are to be congratulated for the work that they accomplished under such adverse con¬ ditions. S.A.C. successfully sponsored the Frosh Smoker, which was considered to be the highlight of Freshman Week. Also, S.A.C. is to be congratu¬ lated for the Activities Day, weekly calendar and the J.F.K. Carnival Dance, which they ran. Con¬ tinuous harassment from its big brother, The Student Council, made things extremely rough for S.A.C., but thanks to the work of Arthur Schwerdt, a new constitution for S.A.C. was written. The first year was a most difficult one for the organization, but its future can only be described as very optimistic. An unprecedented success. Members S. Mulligan, M. Walsh, W. Godzich, B. Carey, H. Muchnicoff, F. DeJesus, A. Schwerdt discuss Constitutional revisions. Fabled voices of the Mountain Taber¬ nacle Choir resound again at Fresh¬ man Smoker. Mr. Fazio, S.A.C. Moderator 23
