Committee Seeks
Student Approval
At Early Election
Change Would Call for Representatives from Three Inter-
Council Groups.
A sweeping change in student council representation-
designed to ban class, representatives and establish club,
fraternity and sorority delegates — was proposed at a
council meeting Monday night.
The new change, approved
by all council members, will
be voted on by the student
body at a special election to
be staged in approximately
three weeks.
In general the proposal
would:
1. Eliminate class representatives.
2. Establish one representative
from the following groups: Panhellenic council, Inter-fraternity
council, Inter-faith council, Appleblossom editor.
3. Representation would be continued, as at present, from Men's
Union, Woman's League, Life and
Chippewa editors.
4. Dean of men and dean of
women would continue as faculty
advisors.
Provisions are made in one bylaw permitting additional representation on the council from any
new inter - organizational groups
which may be set up on the campus'.
Observers point to the recently discussed creation of an inter-departmental council as a new unit which
may be formed. Considerable agitation for such a group has been felt
for some time and if organized
could toe given representation under
the by-law provided.
Elections
The program would eliminate
annual spring elections, except for
Men's Union and Women's League
officers, and organization elections.
Under the new proposal all fraternities, sororities, and religious
groups would name representatives
to their inter-council organization.
From the inter-council group a
single person would be named to represent that unit on the student
council.
The proposal was brought before
the present student council group by
a special election committee, which
not only included council members
but campus political leaders. The
committee was chairmaned by
Emery Freeman and included Laura
Shelby, Bud Ferguson, Art Merfitt,
Charles Westie, Gene Hurst, and
Dean George N. Lauer.
