STATE UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
V O L . XXXII No. 12
Last night Tom Jackson, OH freshman was elected to the office of
President of Student Council, at a special meeting held in the log cabin.
Tom released this statement for the paper: "1 am proud to have been
elected Student Council President and I hope that 1 can do as good a Job
as Tony Adamo has done in the past year. Thank you to everyone con-cerned."
This election turned out to be one of the most unusual elections ever
held by the Student Council. Since there were only two candidates running
for both the office of President and vice-president, a controversy arose
on the floor concerning the democratic procedure of one candidate run-ning
for the office of vice-president. This controversy was discussed on
the floor for one half hour and it was finally decided that if anyone
wished, they could either write-in a candidate or abstain. The chair
ruled out of order a motion to have a recess to discuss putting in an-other
candidate. The decision of the chair was appealed and the vote of
Council ruled in the chair's behalf.
Bill Hobby, AS freshman, won the seat of Vice-president. The remain-ing
officers on the new council for next year are Heather Roberts, TSI,
Recording Secretary; Anne Bienek, DH, Corresponding Secretary; and
Richie Keckler, AS, Treasurer. The Parliamentarian and Sergaent-at-arms
shall be appointed by Tom Jackson, the President, at his discre-tion.
•
Kevin Conroy and Pete Morbelli helped by being the Tellers during
the elections.
Following the completion of the elections. President Tony Adamo
extended his perspnal congratulations to the new freshman officers. He
promised for himself and the rest of the senior officers to be of help
in getting the freshman started on their own. He then presented Tom
with the gavel, which goes along with the position of President.
In'appreciation for the fine job
done by Secretary, Ellen Ryan and
Sharon Wolslegal, Tony presented
them both with orchid corsages.
He also extended his thanks to
Chris Christie, Vice-President;
Phil Weydener, Treasurer; and
Mike Harrison, Parliamentarian.
Chris Christie extended his thanks
in turn to Tony fo-r the job well
done by him as President of Stu-dent
Council for 1960-61.
From then on speeches were
in order fro.n Tom Jackson ac-cepting
his new position and Dean
Reilly congratulating the new of-ficers
and thanking the old ones.
The evening was completed with
the showing of the Winter Week-
, end movies for the past four years.
