The nine representatives of Student Council who were elected at the end of term three, 1946, were the only form of student government for the first month of the school year. Their accomplishments for the year have been above normal for Student Council. They spon- sored student body dances every Saturday night of the first semester. The Council made arrange- ments to get organizations to welcome the Texas School of Mines train. One active member, Jane- anne Braun, finally arranged to have a student tielcgation invade the Aggies for the Lobo-Aggic tilt at Las Cruces on October 11. The greatest task before the Council has been the rewriting of the Constitution, which was put before the Student Body for approval on April 18. Student Council also conducted class officer elec- tions and Student Council elections and handled the funds of the Student Body. James Garliepp served as president of the Council, John Morrison was elected treasurer of the Student Body, and Janeanne Braun, secretary.
