Committees Among Proposed Undergrad Revisions*

Undergrad’s Executive Board
voted this week on changes both
major and minor in its con-
stitution. These changes will later
be sent to Legislature for final
ratification.

The proposed _ constitutional
revision reflects both the thorny
problems of the last two semesters
at Bryn Mawr and the current con-
troversy on campus, The proposals
presently under consideration are:

At the top, the procedure and
composition of Executive Board
itself is to be altered. It is first

of all to be expanded to include .

Chorus and Orchestra, Issues will
be decided on the basis of a simple
majority of those present, instead
of the two-thirds majority required
now for all questions, For questions
of major importance, however, the
president can still require the more
rigorous two-thirds majority.

In addition, the functions of the
members of Exec Board have
been shifted and clarified. The
vice president will serve as chair-
man of the election committee and
shall organize and administer the
election system. The clause which
designated. Exec Board as the

election committee will be deleted. -

The vice president, according to the

 

: A.A. Events

Sunday, Nov. 20: Frisbee Again
3:00 on Merion Green,

 

proposed revision, will serve as
National Student Association Co-
ordinator ‘‘only if she is so need-
ed.”? In the present consitution,
the vice president is automatically
the NSA co-ordinator and repre-
sents the college at the annual.NSA
Congress.

The president of Exec Board
under the revised constitution
would be ipso facto a nonevoting
member of all committees. She
would-be replaced as head of the
Traditions Committee by the chair-
man of the committee, presently
only. an assistant.

Perhaps most important of all,
the social committee isup for com-
plete reorganization in an attempt
to solve the problems which have
plagued it for so long. The revised

  

sections provide for co-chairmen
of the social committee; ‘‘A girl
from the Freshman Class shall be
elected by her class in November,
Her office shall continue until the
next November. She willalso serve
as an Undergrad rep for her class,
A. girl from the. Freshman class
shall be elected by her class in
March, (at the time of the other
campus elections), Her office shall
continue until the next March. She
will also serve as an Undergrad
rep for her class.’? The twochair-
men will co-ordinate the different
social activities of the college and
preside over the Social Committee
composed of.thé dorm social chair-
men and elected campus social
reps,

There would be other changes

in standing committees if the re-
vision were carried: the Vocational
Committee would be eliminated, the
Student Housing Committee would
be added, and the ‘‘Tri-College’’
Committee would be changed tothe
‘*Bi-College’’ Committee. The

Curriculum Committee would be

placed on a level with the Big
Five.

Finally, the procedure for im-
peachment ‘has been expanded, At
present, a petition signed by ten
percent of the student body is re-
quired to impeach an Undergrad
officer; according to the revision,
a two-thirds majority of Exec
Board could also initiate im-
peachment proceedings,

Perhaps the most important and
most controversial revision in the

by-laws of the Undergrad con-
Stitution would eliminate required
voting both in primary and final
elections. Required preferential
voting would also be eliminated,
although it is hoped that some sort
of satisfactory alternative could
be worked out. In view of the |
crisis at the beginning of thfs’
year where Arts Council and Cur-
riculum Committee. lost their
chairmen and valuable time was

lost electing two more, a new pro- |

vision is to be added: each organi-
zation’ must have a‘ constitution
which provides for the immediate

filling of vacancies of one or more _

of its officers.
