Proposed As Amendment

Using the vehicle of the present
constitution's Article 9, which says
"Amendments to this constitution
may be proposed by a petition
of 5 per cent of the student body,"
a group of students had obtained
502 signatures demanding that the
constitution be included on the
ballot in upcoming elections.

The Council had voted 15-1 on
November 21 to drop the constitution
from the ballot in favor
of certain amendments.
