The 1941 Willamizzou STUDENT COUNCIL Based upon democracy and with the thought of giving more experience to the students, the faculty has decided to let the student body select a .group of students as their student council. It was done in a very democratic way, with each home room selecting the pupil that they wanted. A home room is a group of students with one teacher as their counselor. The council elected the following officers: President, Gene Clingan; and secretary, June Schneller. The student council will in every way possible and every way within their power, try to help the faculty solve school problemsesuich as noisy halls, actions on the campus, care of the school library, newspapers, magazines. It will act under the facultyts supervision and if things get beyond their control they will ask the help of the faculty. This council was formed to eliminate somewhat the teachers continually telling the students not to do this or that and to lessen their responsibilities. It is believed that with the student body backing the student council, any pupil who has been brought before the council for some wrong doing will not want to face the student council again because they now know what the student body thinks of what they have done and also know that student opinion carries throughout a well organized school. Student opinion is powerful and therefore we have every right to as- sume that it W111 be worthy of our time and that the council will be a success.
