Jack Lackey, who introduced the amendment, argued that un der ; the constitutional proposal of having the various editors nominated by the three select committees of PU Board, publi cation staff, and a legislative committee, there would be more political interference than if the political parties conducted the nominations. Fulton Breaks Tie A roll call vote on the issue resulted in a 10-10 deadlock and chairman Charles Fulton cast the deciding vote in favor of the amendment. A compromise amendment was passed by the convention provid ing that an accused student be guaranteed the right to face his accuser before the Student Honor Council but not before the men's and women's councils. An amendment introduced by Charles Warren that two-thirds vote of 25 of the student body be required to ratify the pro posed constitution was passed. This amendment, superseded Wednesday night's amendment that two-thirds of 51 of the students be required.
