Tomorrow marks two events. First, there will be elected a new executive board of the Student Congress. Secondly, it concludes a year of work by Steve Sanford, president of the Student Congress, and the senior members of the Congress. The first matter is of interest for the future but the second is of the past. Steve Sanford and his executive board assumed a task that initially resembled the impossible, and rightly so. The Congress was split with internal squabbles and poor morale, and its integrity was still marred by the typewriter incident of the past year. Yet the Congress was ready to go forward with its work. But go forward to what? Sanford's board did not call for major changes like Gránalo of the past did, nor did it amass some great wealth to leave behind in its memory. It did, however, bring the Congress back to the students despite the criticisms of its oppon• ents, including The Cowl. As for Steve Sanford. he will leave his office with the satisfaction of knowing that the Congress will survive. It is on stable ground and is probably in the best position it has been in for many years. And yet, how could a person like Steve Sanford, whose ability I have sometimes doubted, bring normalcy back to such an "ominous" organization as the Congress? I guess the answer would just simply be sheer dedication to his job. Through his ever positive spirit to the job, Steve managed to keep things going, and from his own energy and drive, others in the organization caught the fever and so tomorrow another group of willing students will take charge of a strong organization. The checklist of this year's successes would run into numerous pages, but here are a few credits to Steve and the Congress. The faculty survey was revived and now appears to be a permanent fixture of the Congress. Such conveniences as the extension of banking and library hours were acquired through the conscious efforts of the Congress. Investigations into dorm conditions and answers to the jurisdiction of the administration in the life style of students were reasonably sought. But finally, the greatest thing to occur as a result of the efforts of this year's executive board was the restoration of respect and in• tegrity to the Congress. This was readily seen in the calm and mature approach the Congress made towards the Annie Street incident. So to Steve Sanford and the Congress, I commend you on behalf of myself and The Cowl on a job well done. I sincerely hope that your successor will have the many accomplishments that you have found this year.

Thank you, George D. Lennon
