Now In Miss Qrahamsfffce--
Fwmity Members-Speak; : -
Last-night-in tho .Library building
was held tho third meeting of students
interested in tho student council move
ment Tho entire time of tho assem
bly was taken up in hearing the re
port of tho student council committee,
consisting of Chan Trimble, Will Ka
van, Sam Griffin, Beth Hyde, nnd Bess
Rogers; Tho report of tho committee
is a lengthy one, embracing experience
Itlrtho counciWn-nearly- threo-score
sohools, and is divided into five main
sections: Formation of the council in
different schools; plan of organiza
tion; powers and scope; benefits and
advantages, and general points. Copies
of thlB report may bo had by calling
at' Miss Graham's office.
6 "gist vt the report "brought out
that the formation of the council dif
fered in minor details in nearly all
tho schools, but that tho design in
each case was to givo the students
some measure of control and responsi
bility. Iho-threomaln-causos-forits
adoption wero a desire for student so
government, a need for closer co-opor-litlon
between faculty and students,
and a demand for the centralization
of student sentiment. The control of
the council is expected to extend to
such matters as student traditions,
athletics, dances, elections, student
manners on tho campus, cheating, stu
dent sentiment and student activities
generally. It" also Appeared that in
nearly all colleges whero a student
council existed the faculty was a su
preme vetoing, or at" least" a control
ling and correlating authority.. Most
schools where it has been tried ex
press themselves as satisfied with the
results obtained, and are desirous that
