Hey, you guys, we ' re discussing importont b student counci The past year has been a remarkable one for the USC Medical School and for the Class of 1966. Student activities have been productive to a degree unknown in past years or perhaps in other medical schools. It has been exciting to be associated with such a student group and challenging to be in a position of responsibility. There has been no real leader and no really planned program; rather there has been a surge of student interest in areas of curriculum, social problems, medical economics and the distribution of medical resources. All areas of political and philosophical emphasis have been represented. The fact that students have been doing something about the problems they see rather than remaining only critics of the efforts of others is the most promising thing of all. The student government has tried to provide support, advice, and some organization on which all may depend. We feel that we have succeeded in part and hope that those who follow us will continue to take the attitude that it is less the role of student government to judge than to guide and support all student groups. The student council has provided a forum in which all groups, ad hoc, de jure, or whatever, may seek support. We hove also accomplished certain things of our own initiative such as the dependents health insurance program. Looking back it has been a good year with prospects for better to come. Michael T. Kennedy ASSM President 1965-1966
