John R. Green '56, of Lowell House and San Francisco was chosen last night to serve as 1955-56 Student Council president. He heads a slate of officers who will serve until February of next year.
The vice-presidency of the Council fell to Albert B. Levin '56, of Kirkland House and East Orange, New Jersey, James G. Hatcher, Jr. '56, of Dunster House and Morton, Illinois, was elected secretary, and Edward M. Abramson '57, of Lowell House and New Rochelle, New York, will be the new treasurer.
Green, who had served as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army until February of last year, was elected to the Council for the first time in December, and has been serving as the representative from Lowell House. He defeated Hatcher and Bradley W. Stark '56, of Dunster House and Hillsboro, California, to win the presidency.
Green paid tribute to the old group of officers for "the fine job they have done this year," and hoped that his Council would be able to do as well. "We have a fine body of men serving this year," he said, "and we should have a very effective Council. We shall especially try to continue the fine student-faculty relations which the old Council has maintained."
