'till Attendance improves os Union, Board struggle with problems Though the issues are engrossing, the winter- quarter joint SL CC and Student Board meeting turns energy off as it drags on for, from left, top row, SLCC Member Bob Aldrich, Board President Wally Lipkin and, bottom rom Board Members David Lifton and Don Rowley. 24 New ventures for Student Union in- cluded the Bazaarnival, previously spon- sored by Student Council, and part of the tutoring projects. Other Student Union activities included a bake sale, a spirit spree with Francis Parker, orientation day and the Thanksgiving and Christmas as- semblies. Student Board President Wally Lipkin believed that there had been progress in his organization too. The Board's main objective during the year, according to Wally, was to obtain more student participation in its activi- ties. Any student could give a referral slip and students did not have to get passes to walk in the halls while classes met. To replace passes, during winter quarter Stu- dent Board set up a monitoring system for halls and the lunchroom. A court system with equal representation for classes convened: two students from each class represented their grade on the jury. The new student government consti- tution reorganized both Student Union and Student Board. Student Union ex- panded, took over activities that had pre- viously been sponsored by clubs and Stu- dent Council and generally took charge of all social and cultural activities of the school. As the head of student government at the University of Chicago, Jerry Lipsch lectured during opening Student Govern- ment Week. On December 11 and 12, 30 U-Highers and 50 to 60 students from Hyde Park high school participated in an exchange program. U-High joined with Francis Parker, lVlorgan Park, Harvard St. George, Latin, and North Shore to throw a party of 800 and conclude Union's Arts Week. December lVlonth attempted to widen U-Highers' insight into black soci- ety. Projects included exhibits of black literature from Ellis' bookstore, the Museum of African American History, and work by Artist Herald Allen. Speak- ers were John Hope Franklin, black his- torian from the University of Chicago, and Walter Walker, a U-High graduate l1951l. Several lecturers missed their speaking dates because of illness and scheduling difficulties. Also during December lVlonth , Disk Jockey Herb Kent returned to broadcast a party from U-High.
