"It was felt that the amend ment procedure was too dif ficult and took too much time," Burt explained. Under the present system, an amendment must be sub mitted during the first semes ter to be placed on the ballot in the spring general election. In the proposed amendment, continued Burt, the constitu tion may be changed during the first semester by a spe cial student vote, and amend ments may be proposed dur ing the second semester until 28 days before the spring gen eral election.
