COMBINES SL AND SAC: SGC Replaces SL as Governing Body Y By DAVE BAADj Creation of the new Student Government Council to replace Student Legislature highlighted student government operations at the University in 1954-1955. Although the change actually took place March 16 when stu- dents elected the first SGC, a good part of Cie year was consumed effecting the transition. Fromeback inSeptember when the Regents decided to delay de- cision on the Council plan to the present time, student government interest has concentrated on the new Regental recognized group. Combines SL and SAC Consisting of 11 elected mem- bers and seven ex-officios, SGC combines the powers of SL and Student Affairs Committee. The Council has power to ree- f ognize new campus organizations, approve student-sponsored activi- ties, make eligibility rules for non- athletic activities above the mini- mum grade point average, dele- gate student activities, originate student projects and express stu- dent opinions. SGC will also appoint Joint Judiciary Council members, rep- resentatives to joint student-fac- ulty committees, administer fi- nances designed for its own use and from time to time authorize campus forums for purposes of discussing campus issues. Berliner First President Hank Berliner, '56, was elected3 SGC's first president at the meet- ing March 30. Other two executive committee members include Vice- President Donna Netzer, '56, and Treasurer Dick Good, '56A&D. Choose Smith ,And Andersen Roger A. Andersen, '56E, and Mrs. Claudia Moore Smith, '56Ed., will be next year's representatives on the Honors Convocation Com- mittee, according to the Office of Student Affairs. Andersen, a member of Phi Gamma Delta, was in the honors convocation last year. He is a member of the American Society of Tool Engineers. A Muskegon native, Andersen At the next meeting the Coun- cil organized an administrative structure somewhat similar to that existing under the Legislature. Three standing committees, Campus Affairs, Public Relations and Elections, and Human and In- ternational Welfare have been es- tablished to handle various SGC problems and projects. Administrative Wink Because of SGC's limited elect- ed membership a majority of com- mittee positions will be filled by members of the Council's new administrative wing. Although the Wing is not yet actually in operation, Coordinator Sandy Hoffman, '56, was greeted by more than 100 people at the first Wing tryout meeting April 27. Present plans call for about 60 students to serve on the Wing, Administrative Secretary Appointed Ruth Callahan has been ap- pointed to act as administrative secretary of the Council. In the absence of an elected secretary from SGC, she will take care of secretarial duties for the new stu- dent government. Student Legislature carried on student government activities un- til its final meeting March 8. Spending most of its final weeks transferring functions to SGC, SL was guided by President Ned Si- mon, '55. Before Simon's election to the presidency in December, Steve Jelin, '55, presided over the Legislature's activities. Accumulating a $6,000 surplus during its last two years SL took four lengthy meetings in late Feb- ruary and early March distribut- ing the money. Future Plans Although in existence only two months, SGC members have am- bitious plans for the future.. Members have announced plans for action on present eligibility rules for freshmen in activities, the present bucket drive situation and a scholarship for students in activities. Already SGC has arranged for a committee to study the present driving ban situation. The committee consisting of members of the administration, students, faculty members and re- presentatives of the city, will re- Harlan H. Hatcher and the Re- gents for consideration. Present elected members of Stu- dent Government Council include: William J. Adams, '57 Henry Berliner, '56 Tom Cleveland $ill Diamond, '56E Richard Good, '56A Robert Leacock, '57 Janet Neary, '58 Donna Netzer, '56 Tom Sawyer, '57 Joel Tauber, '57 Ed Velden, '56E Ex-officio members Assembly President, Jeanette Grimm, '57 Daily Managing Editor-elect, Dave Baad, '56 Inter-House Council President, Tom Bleha, '56 Interfraternity Council Presi- dent, Bob Weinbaum, '56 Teague President, Hazel Frank, '56 Panhellenic President, Deborah Townshend, '56 Union President, Todd Lief, '56 FOR SPARE TIME: Officials literally have to work from A to Z when compiling lists for an Honors Convocation.' Those honored show up at Hill Auditorium to hear the address and receive the awards but prob- ably do not realize that their name has been typed and retyped on countless forms. Students have to work to get grades and honors but it is the Recorder's Office, more specifically. Miss Doris Clevenger, who compiles them. Send Invitations Her office is also in charge of sending invitations to the honored students and their families. Announcement of those honored are sent to University News Service which informs home town papers of the distinction. All Michigan high schools and junior colleges are informed of alumni who have received honors.

The awards are given annually to "junior and senior students . . . who were outstanding for their moral character and good fellowship, scholastic ability, in- tellectual capacity and achieve- ment, physical apility and vigor, and who showed real promise of leadership and success." Dean of Students Walter $. Rea presided at the affair, and Prof. Arthur E. R. Boak, acting chairman of the History Depart- ment, presented the honors. Walters Speaks James H. Walters, one of the award winners, spoke on behalf of the recipients, and Mrs. Fielding H. Yost, widow of the former Michigan football coach and ath- letic director, said a few words.' Then H. O. Crisler, present ath- letic director, addressed the group. The history of the awards dates back to 1940. In October of that year the committee in charge of the testimonial dinner commem- orating Fielding H. Yost's fortieth year of service to the University submitted to the Board of Regents a plan for honor awards. In November of that year the plan for the Fielding H. Yost Honor Awards was accepted by the Board of Regents, and a com- mittee of five was commissioned to select the recipients. Three of this year's winners re- ceived awards last year: Walters, Dan Cline and Al Mann. All recip- ients are seniors, save juniors Bob Appleman, John McMahon and Norm Niedermeier. Following is the complete list: Robert Miller Appleman, '56 James Vilas Bates, '55Ed. John Daniel Cline, 55 dent Erich A. Walter. The committee also includes Dean of the literary college Charles E.

He received his bachelor's degree from Grove City College, Pa. in 1909 and his M as- ter of Arts from Princeton in1. He earned a doctorate in political science from the University of IPennsylvania in 1917. His association with liberal edu. cation hasbeen a long one. He served on the faculties of Purdue, Western Reserve Pennsylvania and New York Universities and Swarthmore College. In 1925 President Dodds was called to Princeton to teach mu- nicipal government and public ad- ministration. Eight years later he was appointed president - nine days before his 44th birthday. He was the youngest man to be cho- sen for the office in 175 years. Education Teaches Habits of Thought Speaking of liberal education, President Dodds has said that it is "education for use, not so much for the specific information it gives students, but because, in general, it teaches those habits of thought and analysis which per-' mits students to absorb . . , new knowledge and apply it with judgement." The Phi Beta Kappa graduate is a native of Pennsylvania, born in Utica, Pa. His father was a Pres- byterian minister whose teaching career spanned half a century. President Dodds' career has also placed emphasis on public service. He has been a member of several State Department advisory com- mittees and has done consultant work for South American coun tries. At one time he had the repu- tation of "best known North American in South America." Advocated Universal Military Training A member of former President Harry S. Truman's Advisory Com- mission on Military Training, President Dodds has consistently advocated universal milit a r y training. He was president of the Associ- ation of American Universities in 1953. It was during this term that the AAU released a statement on "The Rights and Responsibilities of Universities and Their Facul- ties." A director of the Prudential In- surance Company of America, President Dodds has also been as- sociated with the Rockefeller Foundation, the General Educa- tion Board, the Carnegie Founda- tion for Advancement of Teaching and Brookings Institute. ~P-;nr 'Rn rd _ ;:IF'
