Tuvis Elected President
to Replace Blowers
Craig L. Tavis, Interclub Council representative and area
chairman, was elected recently that group’s president for the
upcoming fall semester. Tavis was elected by a majority of
votes from the club president and/or alternates of the clubs
within the council at the time of
the Associated Student Body elec¬
tions.
According to this semester’s
ICC president, Mary Blowers, the
council’s aims were “to stimulate,
coordinate, and regulate club ac¬
tivities; to maintain the integrity
of campus organizations; and to
promote and maintain the princi¬
ples of collegiate education.”
The president feels that ICC has
accomplished these aims through
“communication, publicity, and
problem and activity sharing.”
“During this semester three ap¬
plicant clubs have been issued
a charter which entitles them to
recognized participation in cam¬
pus activities and to the rights
and privileges of membership in
ICC,” stated Miss Blowers. These
new clubs are the College “Y,”
Young Americans for Freedom,
and the Organ Guild.
Miss Blowers also reported that
“Besides the excellent job during
the past year of the Courier rep¬
resenting the student body with
editorials and letters to the edi¬
tor, the Courier has also publish¬
ed club feature stories this semes¬
ter.”
The retiring president was also
pleased with the fact that “the
displays in the Campus Center
display cases were coincided time-
wise with attention” with the ac¬
tivities they represented.
