The new provision disregards the sex clause. A new system of voting is inco porated in the measure. The bill calls for use of the Hare system of the single transferable vote. By this device the voter lists can didate in order of preference. "Although the system is simple for the voter to operate, it be came involved for those tabulat ing the results," Charles Berg hoffen, chairman of the commit tee, explained. The Constitutional Assembly will re-convene at 4:30 p.m. to day in Room 106 Burnett hall. "It is very important that all delegations be present so that a vote can be taken," moderator Ted Sorenson said. " "It is also important that dele rates be prompt so we can wind up the work of the Assembly," he stressed. The clauses in the bill which met with staunch opposition were those concerning holdover mem bers, sex and minority represen tation. A series of amendments were voted down before the Assembly finally agreed on a provision whereby future Student Councils will elect six holdover members who may serve as officers. The measure was attacked on the grounds that it destroys the pro portional system and does not present a fair picture of student opinion. See Assembly, Page 4 Louis E.
