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
