Treasurer Lewis B. Oliver '61 has resigned from the Student Council for "personal reasons." The resignation will take effect immediately.
Oliver, who has been an active member of the Council for almost two years, last year made a strong bid for the presidency. He has chaired several key committees, including the one whose report Monday night urged rejoining NSA.
His resignation, though not entirely unexpected, opens up the forthcoming election for Council President. It had been assumed that Oliver would run again, and he had strong support within the Council. To date, no one has announced his candidacy, but this latest development will probably increase the number of hats in the ring.
A treasurer to succeed Oliver will be elected at next Monday's meeting. The vote could be an indication of the relative strength of possible candidates for President.
Oliver submitted his resignation to the executive board last night.
