One soon realizes, that after speaking with this year's council, the days of promising a student lounge, convenient lockers, and the famous "real toilet paper" are gone. In fact, it has now become popular to mention that you cannot provide these to the student body. "I didn't make any promises," stated Jeff Sweitzer, president, "Jenny's promises were a little off- the-wall, I'd say - no quiz days from Lyle Little...give me a break." Despite the sarcasm, the group ap- pears to function well together. "We know what works and what doesn't," replied Becci Farquhar, Athletic Chairperson, when asked about what was planned. However, as Jenny Wareham, vice-president puts it, "this is a month -by -month thing that we're doing." Parents, as well as students will remember the numerous almond, orange and other financial cam- paigns of the past. This year, "a new and creative thing", as treasurer Jodi Becker, de- scribes it, is the introduction of a discount card. "The fund raising campaign this year has been really successful," agreed Wareham. The card which is supported by 17 Exeter merchants, gives the holder a minimum of 10 percent off, and -is valid for one year. SW dents are selling the cards for a price of $8.00. "It probably will be their major fund raiser," remarked Farquhar. When asked about their image, Becker jokingly replied, "We have none." On the more serious side, Wareham added, "Image is some- thing you get from the school, rath- er than from student council...it isn't going to come from what the seven of us do." Contrary to belief, the council has little control over student ser- vices - including the toilet paper. "If toilet paper means that much to you, then you're weird, and I don't want to share a washroom with you," recalled Wareham from her campaign speech. "Everybody could just bring their own," com- mented April Lewis, secretary. This last comment spawned mutual agreement from the group. "People mistake us as being like gods," remarked Sweitzer. "We don't have any control over the ad- ministration," continued Wareham. In that case, what dotheyhave -control of? "Fun stuff," piped Wareham, "assemblies" added Far- quhar, "extra -curricular things," concluded Sweitzer. The last re- mark on the subject was made by Farquhar, "(to) basically entertain the school." With all of the confusion and misidentity, one may question the reasons for becoming a part of the council. "It's a lot of work, but it's going to be worth it," Farquhar stat- ed. Sweitzer added, "The experi- ence itself will last throughout your life...It teaches you...dedication."
