Dickinson. 28 The 1948 Student Council was under the leadership of Coke Prentice and Ed Bush, with Polly Pinsker assuming the secretarial duties. Much of the time of the Council was consumed with routine, seemingly unimportant, matters, such as selection of committees, approval of the budget, and appointment of student representatives to various conferences. Among its more enjoyable accomplishments were the extensio.i of breakfast hours for Freshmen, and the opening of all dorms to both sexes on Sunday afternoons. The Council may also be credited, however, with a few more glam- orous undertakings. It made a valuable contribution, for example, toward student-alumni relationships by invit- ing alumni to sit in on Council meetings. Both groups were pleasantly surprised to learn that the proverbial chasm between them is not an unbridgeable one. The Council was instrumental, furthermore. In placing student members on the Curriculum Committee to aid the faculty in mapping out Swarthmore ' s academic future. The Council established, as well, ' a Course-Rating Com- mittee which, though still in its embryonic stages, will, it is hoped, offer helpful criticisms to the professors on the courses being presented. Finally, the Council was instrumental in establishing the new Student Employment Office. This office, which co-ordinates student employment both on and off campus, has had a very successful first year under its student managers, Chuck Stabler and Keeny Scott.
