Legislature

The new constitution provides
for a 50-member Legislative
Council to be elected from various
segments of the student body.
Although the method of apportionment
is not final as yet, the
restrictions are that:

1) the first-year undergraduate
classes may be combined as
one voting body;

2) schools having more than
one representative may be divided
into living areas or classes,
such as to present each student
with equal representation;

3) a school whose enrollment
is smaller than average may be
combined with another school.
