History
The McLaughlin College Council (formerly the Student Council) was instituted in 1968, the year the College opened, as the elected voice of the student body. It is made up of all registered students with non-voting status given to Fellows, Alumni and College officers. The elected members of Council include the President, Directors of External Affairs, Business Affairs, Cultural Affairs, Social Affairs, Communications, a representative to the York Federation of Students, general councillors and a first year councillor. The Council appoints a Speaker, Secretary and Treasurer, the last two being paid, non-voting members. In addition, the Council elects an Athletic Council. The Council must meet at least twenty times during the Fall/Winter Academic year. In 1982 the Student Council was dissolved and was reconvened as the College Council in 1983. The Council represents the interests of the student body to the administration of the College and to the wider university community. Within the College the Council is responsible for the appointment of the Orientation Co-ordinator( s), the editor of the McLaughlin 'Mirror' and the managers of the Games Room, the ARGH [coffee shop] and the Mac Pub.
