PROPOSES M0RE POWER
Members of a specially ap

met Thursday morning to discuss
the revision of the Student council
constitution. David Fellman, grad
uate college representative on the
council and sponsor of the propor
tional representation plan, pre
sented an amendment to the con
stitution. This amendment defines the
powers of the council more accur
ately than the former constitution
included in its articles, giving it in
creased power over other campus
organizations.
Changes Made.
Several changes were made in
Fellman's proposed amendment
and it will be submitted to the fac
ulty committee on student organi
ze Hons, the University senate and.
having passed these groups, will
be presented to the student body in
a general election. If ratified by
the student body it will go into ef
fect for next year's council.
A method of enforcing certain
regulations in regard to student
organizations is included in article
two of the amendment. This, if
passed in the three groups, will al
low the Student council to remove
student officers, on adequate
grounds.
