In a college where the administration adapts the school policy to the voice of the students, the Student Council is one of the more important functions of campus extracurricular activity. Un- der the gavel of President Bill lnglis the 1952-53 Council has experienced a highly successful year in conducting the responsibilities arising from the relationship between the undergraduates and the college ofhcers. A few of the routine duties of the Washington and Jefferson Student Council are the organiza- tion of the budget, supervision of class elections, conferring with President Patterson and Deans Johnson and Thomas, regulating the Freshman rules, interpreting the student constitution, and securing cuts for student attendance at athletic events. Several new amendments were adopted this year including the election of Council representa- tives and Red and Black Qthe college newspaperj prior to April first. The office of Corresponding Secretary was created on the Council staff due to the amount of mail and other communications. This year's Council has laid the groundwork for the publishing of the VVall, Campus literary mag- azine, expansion of the Movie Series, and week- end social activities-all to be made available to students without charge.
