Activities Surround Council Outline The effectiveness of Student Council under the guidance of Pat Boyle, Mark Console, Ernie Gerardo, and Jim Kubacki far outshone any others from recent years. Proof of this lies in the fact that a financially sound year was coupled with a year of general optimism reflected b the students. Progressive steps, such as the formation of committees to represent the student body on the Board of Regents, were taken by this slate to insure student involvement in the governing of St. Ignatius. ith the aid of new Student ( ouncil moderator, Fr. Flint, some very intelligent, well-thought-out proposals were submitted regarding school policies dealing with such things as the hair code and the state of the Senior Lounge. Under this Council a true spirit was evident throughout the halls and extracurricular activities surrounding the school-spirit not evident in the three years previous to this Senior Class. One reason for this spirit was the well planned social activities such as the carnival, dances, and senior parties put on by the school. Another reason was the general willingness of the student body to cooperate with the Student Council in their efforts to achieve a better year.

WIGN Brings Shift Of Emphasis Blasting rock music into the Student Center from high atop the seventh floor studio, the Radio Club has certainly changed in the past two years. As late as 1970. the club was a gathering of Short Wave and Citizen's Band enthusiasts. Its priorities have changed drastically in the last few years to the point where WIGN, the station operated by the students, is almost the sole operation of the Radio Club. Under the leadership of station manager I erry Meissner and radio technician Paul Culley. the station has blossomed into a whole-day operation, broadcasting from 7:30 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon. The station plays mostly progressive rock and top forty music, taken from a poll of the students’ musical preferences. WIGN broadcasts closed-circuit to the Student Center and the sixth floor hallway. One of the latest endeavors of WIGN is a news department consisting of a number of juniors who bring world and local news to the students of St. Ignatius.
