Students Yet to Approve
In Order for Ratification
Work on the student-body
constitution was completed by
Student Senate Monday night
and May 27 the document
will be put on ballet for student approval.
In order for the constitution
tc be ratified, 15 per cent of
the student body must vote in
the election with at least two-
thirds voting in favor of revision.
At Monday night's session,
Gene Ragland, vice-president
of the student-body, called a
special session of Senate so
that only the constitution
could be considered.
Article V, Section I, was
passed which dealt with the
method to be used to petition
for revision or amendment of
the  constitution.
Robert Donoghue, Thorpe,
moved the entire Judicial
Article be approved in total
as it was presented out of
committee. James Bedore,
who served along with eight
others on the committee who
drew up the article, outlined
the new judicial system on the
black-board and explained it
to Senators.
The Judicial Article sets up
a Student Judiciary which
will have the power to review
discipline cases against individual students that are referred to it by way of the
Venue Committee.
The Venue Committee will
serve as a routing committee
for both original and appellate
jurisdiction. Appellate jurisdiction would be from the
primary courts to either the
Student Judiciary or to the
Dean of Student's office. Membership in this committee will
include the Dean of Students,
the chief justice of the Student Judiciary and a member
of  Personnel  Services.
The primary courts includes
Organization Courts, Residence Courts and a Traffic
Court. The Traffic Court is
to consist of three members
who will consider student appeals of traffic tickets.
Section • V simply incorporates the Organization Courts
presently in use into the judicial system and allows for
more to be set up. Section VI
states that dormitories and
married housing units will be
required to maintain judicial
courts to handle group-living
problems, and grants off-campus housing the prerogative
of setting up a residence court.
Procedural rules of Article
IV gives the court the right
to issue subpoenas and levy
contempt of court charges.
Students are given the right
to call in witnesses and provide a defense counsel. Dean
of Students must investigate
and present evidence.
The procedure section states
it is the policy of the judicial
system to keep each court in
open session but that the presiding officer of a court could
close a session if he deemed
it necessary.
After the article was discussed, Robert Burkett, Preston
Court, moved it to be passed
section by section. The motion
was defeated with Bill Primm,
senior cla*ss, Don Pries, Merrill and Burkett voting in
favor. -
It was then moved by Jim
Sweeney,   sophomore  class,

Student Review Board
Proposed for CM Life
Five members of the President's Advisory Council made
a proposal at Wednesday
night's meeting which would
provide for a student review
and advisory committee for
Life.
Purpose of the committee is
"to guide the Life editorial
board and journalism staff in
presenting the overall viewpoints and concerns of undergraduate  students."
The proposed committee
would be composed of six
members; one Student Government representative a p -
ponted by the student body
president, an AWS-Men's
Union representative, an in-
terdormitory council representative, a Greek representative; student concern groups
representative and academic
representation.
Duties of the committee
would be to meet weekly with
the Life editorial board to
hear the intentions of the
board and to offer suggestions
and recommendations. The
committee will also submit a
report to the Board in Control
of Student Publications at the
close of each eight week period  of the  college  semester.
Reasons given for formulating the committee are to "ensure that a representative pic-,
ture of student issues, interests and organizations is presented in the student newspaper."
This committee also contends that the Publications
Board cannot adequately fulfill this purpose since its membership allows for vested interests other than those of
.students, and its size makes
frequent meetings with the
Life staff prohibitive.
It was also felt that the .Life
staff can no longer ensure a
representative picture without
assistance since its size in relation to the campus which: is
ever - growing i n population
and complexity prohibits such.
Members of the PAC presenting this proposal were Sue
Senf, Roy Koenigsknecht,
Audrejean Bauman, John
Beckwith and Stuart Bradley.
Following discussion of the
proposed committee, the matter was tabled. This was the
last meeting of the PAC for
this school year.
