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.
