STUDENT COUNCIL Late last fall President Hansen appointed a committee consisting of the advisers of each class, each class president, and one other member of each class to meet together and draw up a constitution for a Student Council. The committee met several times and also wrote to other colleges to find out what their student government organizations were like. Finally, early last January the committee presented to the school and to President Hansen their proposed constitution. A council to consist of twenty members, four from each class and one from each division was proposed. This council would meet twice a month, deal with problems involving students, provide a medium through which student opinion might be ex- pressed, and act as a connecting and strengthening link between students and faculty. The constitution was approved by the lopsided student vote of 159 to 9, and a few days later council members were elected to serve with the original committee. Since its formation, the Student Council has found many things to do. One of its first acts was to approve a schedule for the election of class officers at a regular time each fall. The Council also sponsored Eddie Kotal Day , honoring C.S.T.C.'s coach who is leaving to join the coaching staff of the Green Bay Packers. They presented him with a wrist watch purchased by the contributions from the student body. Cjevetnuienl oj the (Peeptcy 16 STANDINC: M. Sharkoy. L. Potlutsny. T. Xurtzw il. A. Schwartz. R.

HEALTH SERVICE Regular student health service is an indispensable part ol the daily life at CSTC. The helpfulness and skill of Dr. F. A. Marrs and Nurse Mary Neuberger have made a success of this health service in the past. This year, especially. have new developments been made in regard to the health and well-being of the student body at Central State. One feature of the health service which our college offered to its students this year is entirely new. This feature is free hospitalization for each student. The college has made arrangements with the local St. Michael's Hospital to furnish five days of free hospitalization in a semi-private room for any regularly enrolled student during the college year. This may be needed because of accident or illness. There are a number of restrictions which students should observe, however. One restriction is that the hospitalization must be on the recommendation of the college physician. Dr. Marrs. or. in his absence, on the recommendation of Miss Neuberger. During the one to five days that the college pays for this hospitalization, the use of operating room anesthetic or ordinary dressings will also be taken care of by the college. The regular health services which have been provided in the past will be continued as usual. Each new student is given a complete medical examination and tests are announced from time to time. Dr. Marrs and Miss Neuberger are available for consultation in the health center during regular office hours. Each student is entitled to one home call by the college physician during the year without charge. Miss Neuberger also makes such home calls as are necessary without charge. More and more students have come to avail themselves of this health service offered by the college. Evidently they have come to believe (as Dr. Marrs and Miss Neuberger do) that a little attention at the right time may prevent serious illness later which may interfere with college work. 15
