constitution changing the repre
sentation was passed and will
go before the student body for ac
ceptance at the general election.
"This change," explained Dale
Theobald and Burton Thiel, co
chairmen of elections committee,
"is being attempted in order to
make the representation more
democratic."
How system works.
Colleges and schools in the uni
versity will be represented accord
ing to the number of students en
rolled the last semester instead of
by the numbers now in the con
stitution. The amendment contains
the following provisions for repre
sentation: Each undergraduate college or
school on the campus will have
one member on the Student Coun

member shall be elected from the
majority sex. If the membership of
their sex reaches a total of 601
and does not exceed 1000 then an,
additional representative shall be
allowed. Upon reaching a mem
bership of 201 a minority sex
shall be allowed one member on
the Council. When a minority
group has a membership between,
601 and 1200 it shall be given an
other member. Either sex bavins'
