Co-operate with Kostos Vol. XIII, No. 5 Students Agog Over G Frank C. Kostos Named Temporary Administrative Head Council Replenished Jane Margwarth and Henry Dan iels, sophomores at the Center, and Joseph Hastings and Bill Deppe, freshmen, were elected to Student Council replacing John Zamba, Kath leen Midash, Robert Barrett, and Mary Jane Allen. Henry Giuliani, vice-president of the Freshman class, automatically moved up to the office of vice-president of the Student Coun cil because of the transferring to the main campus of Jack Reinhart, pres ident of the Freshman class. The recently-elected Council mem bers advocated a continuance of the policies proposed by the Campus Re formers and Pennacrats in the Fall semester elections. At that time these parties swept all Council of fices with the exception of two seats. However, the Spring semester elec tions were characterized by little name-calling, no band-playing, and practically no advertisement with the exception of a few freshmen hand cards and posters. Student Body Meets On February 22, the first meeting of the student body was held in B -101, at which time Mr. Kostos spoke. He assured the students that he knew they all had gripes and wanted certain things done. He told them that if they would just be patient until he got things organized, he would take care of their gripes if it were possible. Co-operation Proposed Ralph Krecker, Arthur Carpenter, Frederick Ciletti, Edward McGee, Henry 'Daniels, and Henry Giuliani will probably comprise the student faculty board of Operation Co-opera tion. This board will resemble the Student-Faculty Board of recent years, and its purpose will be to co ordinate better feelings between the students and the faculty to settle all controversial issues that cannot be solved by Student Council. Mr. Krecker, one of the members of the board, has expressed his feel ings about the organization of Opera tion-Co-operation in the following statement: "The recent succession of events which resulted in a change of admin istration in our Center has left all of us, students and faculty, with a feel ing that there is a need for us to reset our sights and revamp our objectives. We are suddenly aware that each of us has some responsibility to bear and a definite position in the Center family. All of us are eager to do our bit as mature individuals toward making our stay here a pleasant one, and toward making this the best Center of all in the eyes of everyone. Let's get behind our student and faculty leaders and serve when we are called upon to serve. Even though all of us Frank C. Kostos Mr. Frank C.
