It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter to you. Yeshiva College Student Council has always been the eyes and ears as well as the voice of the students in this University. It is in this tradition that I would like to continue, bringing new and exciting ideas and events to this campus. However I am just one man, and it can't be done alone. Thankfully, I have a wonderful board next year consisting of Howard Mazin, YC Vice-President, David Neiss, Vice-president of business affairs, Hadar Weiss, Treasurer, and Shlomo Troodler as Secretary. It is my hope that the student involvement will not stop with my board but include all of the student body. There are many positions and appointments available and I trust that students will be enthusiastically involved. Currently there are positions available for Orientation staff for those who would like to get a jump-start on next years Student Council. We have many exciting ideas and projects over the summer, one of which is the refurbishing and resurrection of the now defunct Yeshiva University radio station, WYUR. I would also like to announce the new on-line book exchange program. Students will enter in the books they are offering for sale, the price of the book and the students telephone number and it will automatically be updated on the For Sale list. Incoming students as well as returnees will be able to obtain low cost used books right at the beginning of the semester. I cannot conclude without a brief word about this year's Student Council. Many new changes were seen on campus this year from the new weight room to a more efficient registration and I would like to acknowledge the hard work of this years president Sruli Tannenbaum, as well as his entire board. Finally I would like to wish all of the students a very enjoyable summer. My door is always open to suggestions and I hope that student will take the opportunity to come by and take part in all that student council has to offer.

Thank you, and have a great summer!!!!!
