Individuals reach out for someone to share their special interest. Where youth abounds, the club becomes an important social unit into which individuals inject their ideas, con- victions, and humor. Common planes do not hinder individuality. For the intellectual and creative, academic clubs and honor societies are formed. For the spiritually motivated- the BSU, For those people who like to make things happen--a sorority, a fraternity, and a student government. Gradually . . . we join. I , T S-Sb .r f ,, 0.

Government Operates Early in September 1967, a group of thirty- two students met and formed a provisional student government for Tarrant County Junior College, South Campus. This group elected five executive officers: a president, two vice-presidents, a corres- ponding and a recording secretary. lt also established six activity committees and chose chairmen. During the fall, these of- ficers met each Wednesday in a Town Hall meeting. During this time the government shouldered the responsibility of student activities on campus. Under the guidance of the first vice-presi- dent, a constitution establishing the South Campus Student Government Association was drafted. lt was approved in March 1968 and by April 15, TCJC's first elected Student Government Association officers took office. Twenty senators were elected to form the first legislative body. The new constitution also established an Activities Council. New committee chairmen took office lvlay 15. Attempting to learn to be more effective leaders and to better understand the role for Student Needs that students may play in college affairs, TCJC student legislators became involved in the activities of several state leadership organizations. ln the fall, eleven delegates attended the Association of College Unions International Convention in Houston. TCJC was also rep- resented by 17 delegates at the Texas Junior College Student Council Association in San Antonio. Larry Roberts, past president of the stu- dent body and Gary Pillers, president-elect, flew to Grand Junction, Colorado, for the first annual Junior College Student Body Presidents Conference. Also, in February the SGA voted to join the Texas Intercollegi- ate Student Association. Through several social activities, members of the SGA were able to share their ideas and experiences. These activities included a party at Cliff Wood's home, a barbecue at Dr. Rushing's home, and a reception in the SUB to enable newly elected SGA officers and senators to meet the administration.
