Student government comes to De Anza College Tuesday, Oct. 3, when student body elections bring into office a large slate of fall semester officers.

Positions to be filled are President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Treasurer, Activities Director, Communications Director, one representative from the Associated Women Students (AWS) and one representative from the Associated Men Students (AMS). For the present, at least, there will be no class governments as such. Instead, four freshman and sophomore representatives at large will be elected.

Except for the freshman and sophomore representatives, the elected officers, together with the Inter-Club Council (ICC) chairman, will comprise the executive Council. The latter, in turn, will appoint the Activity Point Chairman, the Intramural Chairman, the Rally Chairman, Parliamentarian, Correspondence Secretary and Coordinator of Public Events.

The Executive Council, its appointed officers, and the four freshman and sophomore representatives form the Student Council. All student government will take place in the auxiliary gym near the Bookstore until its permanent home in the Campus Center is completed.

Petitions for the various elected and appointive offices may be secured from student government advisors Miss Marorje Hinson or Ms. Joaquin Herrero, whose temporary offices are located in back of the diving platform. Candidates must be full-time students, have a minimum grade point average of 2.2 in all previous high school or college work, maintain the 2.2 GPA during the term of their office, and hold only one major office.

Final deadline for turning in petitions is Sept. 18.
