Several giant steps were taken last year to assure students a voice in university affairs. In an effort to give students a greater role in determining policy, the College of Arts and Sciences created the Council of 21. This council is composed of a student representative from the 21 departments within the college. In October a University Issues Conference was held in Galveston. Important issues facing the university were discussed in the informal atmosphere of the resort city by students, faculty and admisitrators. Dean resigns Architecture students again challenged the leadership and architectural principles of the administration of the college. The college's clean, Eugene George, announced his resignation shortly afterward. The annual Leadership Conference, sponsored by Omicron Delta Kappa, was held in November at Camp Manison in Friendswood. Its purpose was to continue discourse on university problems. Under newly adopted by-laws, a student majority on the Student Publications Committee was seated for the first time in the history of that body. Above left, Dean Alfred Neumann presides at the first Council of 21 meeting. Richard Poston, President Hoffman and Vice-President Bill Yardley greet students at Student Life open house. 43 |
