The Italian Club In its effort to preserve and maintain the rich cultural heritage of Italy, the Italian Club of Suffolk University has constantly endeavored to aid students to appreciate and understand that heritage. Throughout its long career as one of the oldest clubs of the university, it has brought many pleasant hours of entertainment and enjoyment to interested students. During the school year 1949-50, members and friends were treated to first hand movies of historical and delightfully beautiful scenes of charming Italy. Various famous arias were presented and the background and stories included therein. The parties of the club were no less exciting with the rich, exotic foods served.

The lecturers, who address the club, speak in Spanish and the language is used as much as possible in carrying on the club meetings. The club is a medium for the practical use of the knowledge of Spanish the students have acquired. In this way, a personal interest in Spanish is aroused. The club has a special value for those who intend to work or do graduate study in Latin American countries. The club has grown rapidly since its inception and is constantly search- ing for additional activities which will interest its members. A library of Spanish records is being built up by the club and a varied collection has been acquired. The officers of the Spanish Club for 1949-50 were as follows: Ioseph Ryan, President: Charles Luther, Vice-President: Alice B. Wittlin, Secretary: Robert Newton, Treasurer. The faculty advisor is Dr. George H. McKee, Head of the Language Department at Suffolk University.

The Student Council The Student Council consists of three representatives from each class of the student body of high academic standing. These representatives are elected by their respective classes in May of each year. The purpose of the Council is to cooperate in joint representation with both faculty and students in coordinating and unifying the life of the university in an effort to elicit the specific needs of the student body by execution of the powers granted by its constitution. Under the able leadership of its president, Phil Sullivan, this year's Council has left a glowing record of successful achievements for its successors. The Council opened its first session in September, minus a president because of the transfer of Ed Keough and a Junior Class representative due to Bob Rice's withdrawal. By unanimous vote, the members of the Council elected Vice-President Sullivan to the Presidency and quickly filling other vacancies, formed various committees to launch an active year. The Election Committee started the ball rolling for the first election rally ever held in S.U. The Braves Troubadours serenaded candidates to the platform in a lively rally that provided the biggest turnout S.U. has ever had at its polls. The next major undertaking brought the first lunch counter to our Recreation Hall. Then followed the Counci1's energetic backing of the sports program which helped to bring the spirited crowds to the Boston Arena for our hockey team. Unforgettable were the first S.U. Talent Show and Miss Popularity Contest about which the students are still talking. The Whist Tournament and Nickname Contest were also firsts at S.U. that were accomplished by the 1950 Council. What this year's Council will long be remembered for, more than the entertainment it gave to the student body, are the wise and impartial de- cisions it handed down on the many vital problems and petitions presented to it by the student body. Each and every member gave untirelessly to weekly meetings, committee work, hearings, conferences and full cooperation with other student groups to help put into force the policies desired by the class- mates they represented. The Council is an active member of the Greater Boston Student Govern- ment Body and sends representatives to attend meetings held at other uni- versities throughout the year.
