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.
