NORM SCULL, President and GEORGE ZERVAS, Sec- retary, guided the Student Council This Year. tudent Tax Committee A permanent committee of the Student Coun- cil, the Student Tax Committee is perhaps the most P0werful student group at Union. lt levies the Student Tax each term and supervises the distri- bution of funds to all of the college's tax-supported activities. Meeting at least once a week and ad- vised by the Coordinator of Student Activities, its members, two seniors, the President of the Stu- dent Council, and a junior secretary, must be thoroughly familiar with the purposes and prob- lems of many highly individual student groups. From left to right are pictured s-Q the members o the Student f Tax Cvmmittee. They are DICK HOFFMAN, Chairman, AN- THONY TARTAGLIA, NORM SCULL and JOHN PAVKO- VITCH, Secretary.

tudent Council 181 The Student Council of 1953-54 found its agenda quite full. The Council under the presi- dency of Norm Scull and with George Zervas as secretary, adopted a policy this year of opening the Council meetings to anything the students of Union wanted to discuss. The highlights of the year in- cluded a contribution to the revamping of the chaperonage and alcohol usage rules by the admin- istration, investigations into the athletic and activity award systems, the sponsorship of a blood drive, a fall Prom Display Contest, and a very success- ful Tippecanoe Conference. The Publicity Com- mittee, chairmaned by Jerry Cohan, received much Commendation for the publicity it provided for sports events at Union. Tony Tartaglia's Activities Survey Committee spent an active year in consult- ing with the activities and helping out where they could to continue our healthy extra-curricular pro- gram. Both the Student Tax Committee and the Campus Chest Committee did admirable jobs this year under Dick Hoffman and Dave Balderston. respectively. In addition, members of the Student Council were instrumental in the West College Din- ing Hall inquiry, with Norm Scull and Dick Hoff- man on the college committee. W Council meetings were very short this year because extensive use was made of the committee system. Problems were almost always referred to a committee first, saving the group as a whole for final decisions and for policy making. Elections received more support this year than in recent years. This was due to a spirited fresh- man class, and the endeavors of the Council Elec- tion Committee, headed by Dom Carbone, to ad- equately advertise these elections and to stimulate W interest. in 6
