Students to Vote
On Revisions Tues.
Proposed changes of Central's
student government constitution
were approved by the Student
Senate Monday night. The revisions will come before the student body for ratification Tuesday at the polls.
Because ihe rules in ihe present Student Manual do not meet
the needs of increased enrollment, and in many instances
contain ambiguous and contradictory statements, the Student
Senate and Student Court are
making plans to publish a new
manual.
Members of the student body
will have the opportunity to examine all changes (which will be
underlined on the copy) when
they vote.
Major revisions are a reorganization of Student Court duties
and a new system of ratifying
constitutional amendments and
revisions.
The Student Court, according
to ihe proposal, will lake over
election and constitution and
ordinance procedures. Presently, these duties are ihe responsibility of ihe Student Senate. This change will allow ihe
Student Senate more lime io
carry out legislative actions and
will provide the Court with
definite responsibilities.
In order to keep the constitution accurate and up to date it is
necessary to make provisions for
Senatorial ratification of revisions and amendments. It is now
necessary to stage a special election for this purpose.
Other changes consist of simplifying wording and clarifying
terms.
C. L. Taylor ,state superintendent
of public instruction who will
speak on "Education in 1970"; and
Steve Nisbet, vice president of
public relations, Gerber Baby
Foods. Conference closes at 3:15
p.m.
Secondary education symposiums will be held in the morning
from 10 to 11:15 a.m. and elementary education symposiums will
be held in the afternoon' from 2
to 3:15 p.m.
