ONE DISSENTING VOICE
Since Student Council has already
completed the: first month of its
term of office, perhaps it would be
worthwhile to , examine its record.
We should evaluate its decisions,
both in accepting and in rejecting
some of the numerous ideas that have
been presented to it for action,
this year. Such .an analysis is,of
Personal importance to the students
of this university . inasmuch as. it .-
is their $7.50 that is being 'spent
by the Council, their activity
program that is being planned by
the CounCil; and much of their
rights that are being regulated by
the Council. ' -
On many'bf the year
the student body has nogrounds for
complatnt.-Durtng its brief life,
this yearts Council has done some
revllutionary'and commendable work.:
The intra-college sports program, the
football trip, -and the Halloween .
Social are excellent proof that
Council has effected some praise
worthy.achievements. On the opposite
side of the ledger, however, are
some ttems-MineV though they are
that cannot be overlooked.
Student Council, composed entirely'
Of non-veterans, decided without
officially consulting more than two
veterans that there should not be
a Veteran's Ball. These . non-veteran
council members further concluded
that they knew the reason was that
the veterans were dissatisfied with
last year's social program. Then
they proceeded to lay plans to
duplicate in most respects last .
year's social calendar: This was
done also without consulting the.
veterans.
