Jim Allen, Class of ’85; Pre Ball, 86; Keith McBride, ’87; and Dion aurent, ’88, spoke of their goals nd objectives for the spring semes- er during the first symposium of the semester. ‘One of our main goals this se- vester are new horizons for class council,” Allen said. To help with the needs of stu- ients, the senior class council has es- ablished an Advisory Council with ohn D. Koldus, vice president of student services, and several busi nessmen from Austin, Houston, and ’ San Antonio, Allen said. , In the past, class council has been somewhat overlooked, Allen said, but the positive response from the Class of’85 shows that class council is 'gaining recognition and influence on campus. I “In the years ahead you will see Blass council’s influence become llfcomparable to the Student Senate’s,” f|\llen said. 1 On the seniors’ list of priorities for Bhis semester is the decision of a class Bift. | “We want something long and on- Boing,” Allen said. “Most gifts con cern wartime, but we would like to move more towards the liberal arts.” One of the proposed gifts is an art allery to which class members can contribute even after graduation, he aid. Fundraising and class partici- ation are both important, Allen aid, especially for tne senior class which is trying to raise more money than any class before. The largest amount that has been raised is $42,000, but the Class of ’85 has set its goal at $85,000. «■ Allen said if everybody in the Class of’85 participates there should be no problem reaching the goal. Thougn class involvement has doubled over the last year, student irticipation can never be too high, Photo by CATHERINE CAMPBELL Junior Class President Pre Ball speaks at Sully’s Symposium. with partK ma lie said. | In a question and answer session alter the speeches, a Class of ’85 graduate student asked why he was not able to vote for Class of ’85 un dergraduate elections. ‘T here are separate elections to keep a clear distinction among clas ses,” Allen said. Class of’86 President Pre Ball said the first priority for juniors is the “Masquerade Ball”, Friday night fea turing the Executives. Goals for the Class of ’86 include increasing student participation and raising money for the class gift. “This year our plan is to have a brainstorming meeting to get ideas, and a few weeks later, have a huge class meeting to vote on it (gift),” Ball said. Class of ’87 President Keith Mc Bride said increasing class partici pation is his major goal. At the beginning of the year it (participation) was good, but it has slacked off now,” McBride said. A fundraiser is needed because most of the money raised last semes ter has been spent, McBride said. Class gift ideas also are being dis cussed, he said. One proposal, a re play board for Kyle Field, would be an expensive but a good addition to the stadium, McBride said. Class of ’88 President Dion Lau rent said the freshmen class has an advantage in class participation be cause ol the high motivation as the entering class. “The role of the president is to try and get more involved in student af fairs,” Laurent said. Some freshmen cadets have ap pealed to the class council concern ing complaints in Corps discipline policies, Laurent said. Those cadets nave proposed a few changes that they think will help boost enrollment in the Corps. Freshmen representatives have been assigned to each unit and will record complaints. The grievances will be reviewed at a general meeting and then taken to Corps administra tors. f arty disci He said) a govern- m. is nut he phj® icentrates ompetin! with the entous. ive that t can not out over- 11 debate ling. tri' : ast enip'! legislative onal, rsationa| Further iinggi ves ns should a snta __25tu r and col LMoric art ;oals.
