Show GOVERNMENT /fit Executive Counci Elected in the spring, the ASUU Executive Council started a year of activity and planning that brought national as well as local regonition. The University of Utah was chosen the school in the nation making the most outstanding progress in student government. Their work started in the spring when they interviewed and selected committee chairman for the next year's committees. During the summer they compiled lists and with the help of Spurs sent out over 9,000 letters to graduating seniors throughout the state, advertising the University of Utah and its programs. As each event approached, the Council met with the chairman to approve his programs. They kept busy supporting dances, games, events, and entertaining visiting student body officers. One of the highlights of the year was the entrance of the University of Utah into the NSA, National Student Association. After joining, the Council organized a NSA committee, part of which attended a Regional Conference in Denver and which conducted a NSA question box and column in the Chronicle. As the spring quarter elections and installation of new Executive Council officers came, the 1954-55 council concluded a year of progressive government that climaxed successful college careers.
