New Expression supports the effort of Anthony Green to or ganize a city-wide Student Advi sory Council. This is not the first advisory committee to the Board of Edu cation. All those in the past were largely made up of adult 'citi zens . .. and all of them were ig nored by the Board. Last spring Ant hony Green, who is a junior at Percy Julian, wrote to 75 high school principals asking them to select a student representative from each school to create a new Student Advisory Council. We doubt that students will feel represented by an ap pointee of the principal. We propose that each local student council describe the role of a Student Advisory Council representative and interview stu dent candidates for the position. The local councils could send their representative on probation until they receive an evaluation of that representative from the stu dent officers of the Council. Ac cording to Anthony Green, "If the representative is not willing to work and to show some initiative, he will be dismissed." Perhaps the reps should be evaluated every quarter at the same time as report cards. And speaking of report cards, why not give these representatives a cre dit in social studies if their work satisfies the Council officers and the local student councils? A "government internship" credit would allow the reps to leave school earlier to attend meetings. The Board of Education should make it clear to the Student Advi sory Council (SAC) what role it can play with the Board. We believe that SAC should have the right to influence the Board when it is handling agenda items that need student opinion and information. The members of organized so the public has never derstood in the community SAC.
