Student Council A. Kuhn: V. Gleavesg I.. jacobs: C. Bahlke: XY. Kornhanser: ll. llullenq ll. Raymondg D. Rumlg D. McBride: l'. l'ortis. ln the past the Student Council has spent a large amount of time discussing and amending the constitution and the by-laws. This year the Council felt that some changes were necessary. These changes consisted in regulating the fall and spring elections and in making and putting into force a rule for regulating attendance at the Council meet- ings. The fall elections were changed so that all organizations holding elections in the fall could combine these elections and hold them in the second week of the fall quarter. The Council President was placed in charge of this election. These changes go into effect in the fall of I9-12. The spring elections were regulated so that all the major offices will be elected before any minor of- fices. This will prevent the confusion of the past. . . . Council in session 18 During the year the Council also allotted the activities funds. regulated the spring so- cial calendar, and put on a Council Carnival. The Council debated whether the proceeds of the carnival should go to the war effort or to charity. The members decided that all the proceeds should go to the Hyde l'ark Neigh- borhood Club and to the Cniversity of Chi- cago Settlement. These charities are consid- ered very important and have. in the past, depended on the contributions from the Council Carnival. After the carnival had been put on, the question of what the school could do towards the war effort was brought up, discussed at great length, and favorably acted upon.
