Byron Manthe, Collegiate Council President
Manth ......e -,Get Involved Byron Manthe, new' Collegiate Council President, can be described in two words - enthusiastic and involved. Back after a year of emergency teaching in Adrian, Michigan, Byron has filled the vacancy left by Ned Goede. Ned, who was elected president last year, is out emergency teaching in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Byron feels that the ambition of this year's Collegiate Council will be "to get everyone really involved in campus life." He feels there is an activity or club for every student here, but it's up to the individual to take advantage cI. the situation." He believes in protest, but through ssta blished means;
"YO'Ucan't reforni the school rut you can keep the lines of cemmunlcation open between students and faculty and between the students themselves." His big goal is to get the student body keyed and enthusiastic about life in general and this school in particular. Byron believes that students here are different and shouldn't feel suppressed and restricted by the rules concerning dress, hair, and conduct. He put it this way, "I think a lot more people should be a little more mature and realize what it is to be a member of this 'Christian Family' and not give offense to another's faith. ..
The point the Collegiate Councilwants to make this year is that it isn't a secret organization on campus nor is it an elite group of the popular. The council is here to keep things rWJning smoothly, but no matter how qualified the representatives are, they don't feel they can do their best if the students don't come to them with complaints, suggestions and ideas. The Collegiate Council members and their advisor, Professor D. Raddatz welcome and urge the student body to sit in on the Tuesday night meetings. Although the students are not allowed to vote, they are encouraged to voice their opinions on any topic under discussion.
