Student Qovernment Association The Student Council is an outgrowth of the desire of the students of the college to govern themselves. As a group selected by the students to repre- sent them, the Student Council's principal aim is to promote the welfare of these students. In carrying out this purpose the council seeks to encourage all worth while projects that make for a greater college, and endeavors to handle special administrative problems as they may arise. As a part of the 1936-37 program, the council cooperated with the fresh- man orientation committee, sponsored the all-school mixer shortly after the beginning of the fall quarter, and published a student handbook containing a complete student and faculty directory. Later in the year, the council se- cured a regular office in which to conduct its business and keep its records, was given the service of a clerk from the N.Y.A. allotment, and embarked on a new venture, a weekly college radio program. The council also conducted a student questionnaire and submitted to President Cushing plans for the revision of the convocation system. These plans were approved by the faculty and put into effect the third quarter. Probably the outstanding project of the 1936-37 council is the sponsoring of the 1937 Blue and Gold. The president and vice president ol the Student Council are selected by popular vote, the secretary is chosen by the president, four representatives are elected from the student body at large, two representatives are chosen from each class, and two faculty members are chosen by the faculty as rep- resentatives. With the exception of the freshman class representatives, the council is elected in the spring preceding the regular school year. The local student government association is affiliated with the NSFA and as a member ol that organization sent Vernon Payne as representative to the national convention held in New York City during the Christinas holidays.
