Bob Murphy, vice-president; Norbert Vander Steen, publicity director; Stephanie Roman- owski, secretary; Tom Willoughby, auditor; Bob Hoithwaite, treasurer. The appointed offices of Student Council were held by Robert Haithwaite, Thomas Willoughby, and Norbert Vandersteen as treasurer, auditor, and publicity director, respectively. Through these positions, most of the business of the Council was ad- ministered. Bob Haithwaite handled all Council funds, and with the help of Pres- ident Burge, instituted a new system for the approval and withdrawal of money from the contingent fund. The auditor ' s time was consumed by his periodical check- ing of the books of the various campus organizations. Publicity Director Norb Vandersteen edited and published the Bronco Book, a pub- lication intended primarily to familiarize new students with the activities and organ- izations at Western. Later in the fall, the Student-Faculty Directory came off the presses in a new and enlarged form. Norb also served as chairman of the Election Board in the fall and handled all minor publication notices for the Council. Kay Kalhorn, Nancy Carlson, Carol Cox, Joan Mullany, Joyce Hoffman.

DONALD BURGE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT For the past year the Student Council has been under the able leadership of Pres- ident Don Burge. Through his and the Council members ' efforts, the foundation for a better and stronger form of student government in the coming years has been laid. Bob Murphy as vice-president was the chairman of all social affairs carried on by the Council. Some of these events included the free dance which took place at the end of the fall enrollment week, and the Spring Tonic dance held during the last part of the second semester. The annual Christmas Party was again sponsored by the Student Council in order to provide funds and food supplies for the work of the Salvation Army and needy families of Kalamazoo. Previous to Christmas vacation, Council sold the Salvation Army ' s War Cry magazine in classes. Stephanie Romanowski had the large task of carrying out the secretarial duties of the Council. One of her jobs was to investigate the possibilities of securing a mimeo- graph machine for the group. 32

Under effective leadership, it was the body of Council, the individual representatives, that constituted the framework for all its projects.

Theirs, also, was the respon- sibility of soonsorinq the fourth annual Student Leadership Conference last Nov- ember and the Presidents ' Group Conference which followed soon afterward.
