Interclub Council Council members work to improve club relations The Interclub Council serves as a source of information and insight for both club members and the Harding administration. Composed of students from each social club, usually the president and vice president, the ICC is sponsored by Deans Peggy Huckeba and James Anderson. ICC gives representa_tives a chance to learn more about clubrelated business, allows its representatives to voice opinions, and gives the deans input about what works, what does not and any potential problems on a student level. "As elected officers of our clubs, we try to speak as fairly as we can for our clubs, " Rachel Carter, vice president of Zeta Rho and executive secretary of the Interclub Council , said. When asked if getting input from students in ICC has made a difference, Huckeba replied, "Definitely! We couldn't do it without them. " The ICC does not actually make policy decisions, but they propose, discuss and vote on recommendations at their meetings. These recommendations are then taken to the deans for approval. "A lot of times, recommendations can be approved immediately, but that's not always the case. Sometimes we must get more input before we can come to a decision," Huckeba said. With the revised induction process, several new issues were addressed this year. The ICC made recommendations regarding whether there should be food at receptions and whether bulk mail should be sent to potential club members. "We ' re trying to make the induction process as fair to each club as possible," Carter said. Each semester, executive council members are elected, with six members - three male and three female from different clubs. These executive members act as liaisons between the ICC and the administration. They also make decisions for the ICC when there is not enough time to call a meeting of the entire council. The Interclub Council provides positive, meaningful leadership for social clubs. The information they give and receive helps decisions to be made as members work closely with the administration. - Shellie Morris Deans James Anderson and Peggy Huckeba discuss the agenda for the next Interclub Council meeting.
