By The Students Vol. XI. No. 8 Extend Petitions For Councilmen As a result of the meeting held last Monday evening when there was an appeal from members of the sophol more class, the Student Council de cided to extend the deadline for peti tions for the president of the sopho more class who acts in the capacity of president of Council, and for the two sophomore council members. When this paper went to press there had been no definite time set for the election. Two of the positions, previously held by ex-president Bo•b Rinkus and ex-councilman Michael Zabitckuck, were vacated when the two officers resigned February 14. The action was the result of an extended invita tion from newly-appointed faculty adviser Syd Rudman to those who felt overburdened by responsibility and obligation of a councilman to tender their resignation. The third position became vacant when John Parvensky submitted his resignation following his announcement that he was transferring to Rider College. On March 1 at a special financial meeting Paul Pucillo, a sophomore member of the student body, urged 'the council to authorize a special election to fill the three, vacancies. Upon proper consideration of his recommendation, Council passed a resolution authorizing such an elec tion. Paul's appearance at the meet ing was one of the few isolated examples of a student properly ap pearing before council and expressing his views. Syd Rudman expressed the view that the policy of the Council has been and shall be that all members of the Council must be productive and functional, and not merely titular figures. He also urges all students, who have grievances or suggestions to appear at the regular Council meeting held every Monday evening at five p.m. in the Walnut Street building. WATER COLORS EXHIBIT Mr. Arthur Carpenter has an nounced that an exhibition of water colors by Earl Palmatier, Shickshin ny art teacher•, and university prints of the Masters will be held in W-3 Of the Walnut street building from March 7 to 14. After that date, this exhibition can be seen in the Art League galleries in the Masonic Temple from March 15 to March 20.
