Leadership Day will be held
at the College on May 5 under
the sponsorship of the Student
Senate. The purpose of the
event is two-fold: first, to train
our officers for their elected of­fices;
and secondly, to develop
in our officers those qualities of
leadership which make for good
community leaders and active,
contributive participants in civ­ic
affairs after graduation.
Although this leadership
training program is directed
particularly at incoming and
outgoing officers, the entire stu­dent
body and area colleges are
being invited.
The program will be held
from 10 a.m. until approximate­ly
3 p.m. and will include two
general sessions, two grouped
panel sessions, and a luncheon
which will be served at noon
in the cafeteria. Session topics
and room numbers will be post­ed
the week preceding Lead­ership
Day. During that same
week, the booth will be open
for registration. Registration
fee will be 50 cents.
Besides making officers aware
of their duties and responsibili­ties,
the Leadership Day Com­mittee
plans to offer hints to a
smooth-running year and sug­gestions
for effective program­ming
and execution of office.
The main speaker for the Day
will be announced at a later
date.
The Leadership Day Commit­tee
includes the following: gen­eral
chairman, Nancy DiGiulio;
assistant chairman, Loyola Hog­an;
secretariat, Carol Johnson;
arrangements, Catherine Mas­terson;
publicity, Yvonne Capo-bianco;
refreshments, Marcella

panels, Rosalie Casabella; and
