Constitution Blocks
Council Legislation
. . . On Perpetuation Phut
It's unconstitutional. Outside of that, is there any dis
cussion?" the Stu.Ient Council could do nothing that abided
bv
tho cniist tut. on a'-t nieht
workable plan to perpeuate the
years.
Tabling or in reality overlooking, the motion of the last
meeting, the Council voted to consider a new sutf-ostion, con
taining the same proposals, divided into two parts, and pro
viding for filling of holdocr position if there are not eight
Council members returning to school next fall.
"We need a definite plan that
will benefit our fraternity brothers
and barb friends in the years to
come." In response to an appeal
by Dale Harvey to enact specific
legislation for the maintenance of
the body. Dave Marvin submitted
the plan to abolish the spring elec
tion. Problem Exists.
"Since the problem of holdover
members cannot be solved consti
tutionally, anyway," he said, "we
are forced to violate the constitu
tion in providing for their selec
tion." He proposed (1) that the elec
tion of Council members be post
poned until next fall, and (2) that
the seven members of the present
Council who will be back next
year become holdover members,
the remainder of the positions to
be filled by appointment by parties
in a five-to-three or four-to-four
party ratio.
The motion will be voted upon
at a special meeting Wednesday,
after seeking the advice of Prof.
E. W. Lantz, faculty adviser.
"We can hold a cheap election."
Marvin's plan cleared up the con
fusion in the meeting as to the
cost and trouble of holding three
possible elections: One to amend
the constitution, one, possibly, to
elect the new Council, and one
next fall to re-elect in the case of
vacancies.
Reject Plan.
A plan submitted by Bill Mc
Bride was rejected because the
plan now considered was less un
constitutional than the former, and
because it was necessary that the
barb-greek ratio be maintained.
In the words of Dale Harvey, the
situation is, "If we held an

Dimond, in collaboration with
Dr. James G. Horsfall of Connecti

one chemical in general use in
rubber curing has value in check

rubber. Their suggestion is that
manufacturers use large quan

other curing chemicals.
Greatest value of the discov

Clear-thinking is the pre-rcquis-ite

cording to Dr. James Reinhardt,
associate professor of sociology,
who spoke at the city library the
first of a series of post-war
planning discussions held Tuesday
night.
Dr. Reinhardt discussed the
preservation of the allied aims.
and indicated universal political
trends which would require con
sideration. Describing the international
code which he claims is necessary
for the completion of these aims,
Dr. Reinhardt said. "If we are
going to have economic interde
pendence, we must have political
interdependence. The two cannot
function separately, lt should be
a code which directs world trade
along the lines of world need."
The series will be held through
oout March, and will include all
phases of the planning program
The next forum, to be held March
2, will deal with the topic, "Is
Permanent World Peace a Possi
