ALFRED M. LEONETTI Serjeant-at-Arms JEROME C. EAHEY C.I.C Representative this hook was sold throujih tlie hall representatives, the Book Store and Co-op. Setting up the machinery lor the election of the National Student Association delegates was the first task of the spring semester. Then hegan the success- ful student relief drive. Tickets were handled hy the hall representatives under the direction of the Con- gress. This project took up almost three months of the second semester. Perhaps the most important action of the year, however, was the push given to student activities by the Congress. Three special meetings were held, the first to discuss the problems involved, the second to propose remedies, and the third to which were invited the leaders of all campus organizations. The conclusions reached at these meetings should have lasting effects towards the betterment of the uni- versity. Assisting Diepenbrock this year were the follow- ing student body officers: Michael J. Adza, vice- president; James Donald Canty, secretary; Thomas J. Kelly, treasurer, and Alfred M. Leonetti, sergeant- at-arms. The presidents and representatives of all four undergraduate classes, and delegates from cam- pus organizations comprise the remainder of the Congress. The annual President ' s Day program completed the 1948-49 agenda. Appreciation of the work of these men will only increase in future years as the fruits of their efforts become more and more ap- parent. STUDENT CONGRESS first row, left to right: D.

STUDENT COIVGRESS JOHN V. DIEPENBROCK President The highest student group on the campus is the Santa Clara Student Congress. Meniliership in the Student Congress entails a responsiliility to pro- mote, coordinate and direct all university activities. The members of the 1948-49 group accepted this responsibility and handled it well. Led by Student Body President John V. Diepen- hrock, this year ' s Student Congress aimed for prac- tical achievement, and tried to leave the university something lietter than they found it. The fine com- munity spirit that they have built among the stu- dents attests to their success. During the year, four new organizations were recognized by the Congress. First was the Manana Soccer Club, for the foreign students who wished to continue playing the national sport of their home lands. Later the Congress recommended that soccer be made a minor sport. Then the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity was recognized. The active Ski Club, who ran the Santa Clara Ski Lodge at Soda Springs, was next to be given official status. In the second sem- ester, the newly formed constitution of the Student Managers ' Organization was presented. During football season, an agreement to dis- courage inter-campus pranks of a destructive nature was made with St. Mary ' s College and the Univer- sity of San Francisco. This resulted in an almost paint-less year for the Santa Clara campus. Early in the first semester, arrangements were made by the Congress for the sale and distribution of the newly printed song book. Containing arrange- ments of university favorites for piano and voice, MICHAEL J. ADZA Vice-President JAMES D. CANTY Secretary THOMAS J. KELLY Treasurer m
