The proposed ordinance
would obligate the student
body president to call a special-election within two weeks
of the vacancy if it occurs during 'the first semester.
If the vacancy is not until
the second semester, the presi
dent pro tempore of the Senate would become acting vice
president.
The ordinance, drafted by
Brian Veenhuis, Flushing senior and presented by Celia
Woodworth, Tate senator,
would eliminate the indecision that ensued when Paul

Legality Learned
Part of the .original resolution, calling for strict definition of when it was legal to
use a weapon, was deleted in
the final form. Itjwas argued
•that the officers would learn
this in the State Police train*
ing program and that it is up
to Security Chief Vernell Da-
. vis to provide the rules under
which the men will carry firearms.
Board member James Urn-
phrey, who argued against the
regulations in the recommended proposal, held that it would
be "unfair to the policemen
and the people they are hired
to protect for the Board to
presume to prescribe rules for
firearms."

Victory . . . yet defeat.
That's, what greeted the Arm of Honor fraternity from
Eastern Michigan University last Tuesday night. Even though
they were defeated in basketball, they-gained a decisive victory
in dribbling. .„
The men dribbled a basketball 170 miles from Ypsilanti to
Mt. Pleasant as publicity for their school, the game and their
fraternity. They succeeded.
They started Sunday night with "Frosty" Ferzacca, Eastern
athletic director, handing the ball to Coach Jim Dutcher who
gave it to the first representatives of the fraternity. The men left
Ypsilanti and then followed county roads up to Mt. Pleasant.
They could not dribble on the freeways because of laws prohibiting pedestrians" on the highways.
When they reached Oil „City they. were met by news reporters and members of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, Eric Wesley,
Mt. Clemens sophomore and Bob Lloyd, Detroit sophomore. The
Phi Taus hosted the Eastern fraternity while they were in Mt.
■ Pleasant.
I A Police Escort, Even
•% .      A state police escort was provided for the group between
Z. Oil City and the Mt. Pleasant City limits. When they reached
the city, the Mt. Pleasant city police escorted the group to the
corner of Mission and Preston Roads. At this point the fraternity
began their march behind the dribblers.
During the stop in Oil City, parts of the scene were filmed
and presented on Channel 9-TV, Tuesday night. Appearing on
the broadcast were Wesley and Lloyd as they were talking to
Jim Rodgers, publicity chairman of the Arm of Honor.
One of the members of the freshman basketball team drib-
Wed the ball down the basketball court and sunk a basket. The
ball was then presented to Vice President Norvall C. Bovee, representing Central. He is a graduate of Eastern.
After the game the Phi Taus sponsored a coffee hour and
co-sponsored a mixer with SSAC which featured the Soul Seekers.
The fraternity also provided accommodations for the 40-50
Eastern fraternity while they were on campus.
junior and president pro tempore, moved from his district
between semesters and is no
longer a senator.
Title III of the proposed ordinance is concerned with the
case of the dual vacancy happening- again. It provides for
an election of a new president
pro tempore at the first meeting of Senate when a quorum
is present.
The ordinance further stipulates that upon his election the
president pro tempore, would
assume the position of acting
vice president of the student
body.
If the ordinance is passed by
Senate it will be sent to President Foust for his signature
and its-incorporation into the
Student Body constitution.
Also tabled was a tentative
definition of "faculty" drawn
up by the Board. President
Judson W. Foust commented
that he would like to wait another month to get more reactions to the proposal.
