Ed Council
Purpose Is
Cooperation
The purpose of the Education
Student Council is to establish
a feeling of unity, friendship, and
sociability among the students
and faculty of the School of Edu
cation. It acts on suggestions r
by students and faculty, and
makes recommendations to the
administration.
This year’s group is headed by
Marian Whitely, a seventh sem
ester student in secondary educa
tion. Other council officers are
Harry Shank, vice president: Ter
ese , Moslak, 1 secretary-treasurer;
Ralph Ego If. parliamentarian; and
Dr. J. H. Moyer, adviser.
To Elect 2 Frosh
Any student in the Education
school with at least a 1.3 All-
College average who desires
membership on the council must
present his name and activities
to the' council. The council se
lects the final nominees. The nom
inees are then elected by popu
lar vote at the time designated
by the Inter-Student Council
Board of All-College Cabinet;
council elections are independent
of the All-College elections.
The council consists of one rep
resentative for every 50 full-time
resident students in the sopho
more,. junior and senior classes,
plus' one representative for each
fraction of. 25 students or over,
and two freshmen who are elected
in the fall.
Last year’s council started sev
eral projects to increase the ef
fectiveness of the. council and
improve student-faculty relations.
The council’s first faculty evalu
ation system was put into effect
last spring; it will probably be
repeated this year. The question
naires were .made up with the
help of the psychology depart
ment and were distributed in the
classrooms. The faculty and coun
cil termed the plan “successful.”
Sponsors Mixer
An “outstanding senior” award
was inaugurated last spring to
give recognition to Education
students. Last year’s.recipient was
Ralph Egolf, former president of
the Education council. The 'win
ner receives a small statue ,and his
name is inscribed on a plaque in
Burrowes Building.
The council sponsored a facul
ty-student mixer and planned a
series of meetings between inter
ested faculty members and the
council to discuss mutual prob
lems.

Senate Determines
Educational
Educational policy, a matter that affects every student in some
respect, is the main concern of the College Senate, the legislative
body of the faculty.
Some of the questions handled by the Senate are courses of
study and curriculums, admission requirements, graduation require
ments, approval of candidates for degrees, awards of scholarships
and ' honors, and regulations af
fectipg students.
Operation of the Senate is sim
ilar to that of other legislative
bodies in that it works through
the committee system. Proposals
are sent 'to one of the various
committees where they are stu
died before presentation to the
Senate.
The standing committees are
admissions, athletics, student af
fairs, educational policy, academic
standards, courses of study, mili
tary instruction, committees,
rules, and scholarships and
awards.
The standing committees make
recommendations of definite leg
islation and present a written re
port in duplicate at the June
meeting summarizing their activ
ities during the school year.
Since there is no judicial body
on the campus to interpret legis
lation, Article II Section 2 of the
Senate constitution states, “The
College Senate shall interpret its
legislation.”
Section 3 of the same article
provides that, “In case of ques
tion of jurisdiction, the power of
decision shall rent with the Pres
ident of the College.”
The Senate by-laws provide for
$5O to $65
STATE COLLEGE

Policy
two officers, a chairman and a
secretary. The by-laws also state
that the President of the College
shall be chairman and that the
registrar shall be the secretary.
The constitution states who
shall be 'members of the Senate.
They are the President, deans of
schools, dean of men, dean of
women, director of the health
service, librarian, dean of admis
sions and registrar, comptroller,
provost, director of general ex
tension, director of student af
fairs, directors of extension, di
rectors of research, assistant dean
in charge of resident instruction
from each school, director of sum
mer sessions, the College exam
iner, heads or acting heads of the
Department of Resident Instruc
tion, and eight representatives
elected by ballot by each school
for a period of two years. Of those
elected, four from each school are
elected one year and four the
next year so that terms are stag
gered.
The constitution also provides,
“In case the head of a depart
ment is also a dean, that depart
ment shall have a representative.”
