There have been these rights should be surrendered. In the spring, the students, exercising their rights, approved the Constitu tion. The laws in that Constitution are thus valid and legal and your govern ment will follow them until such time as they might be amended by a vote of the student body. There are a few provisions of the Constitution which the administration wishes to give thorough provisions are not invalidated, but are merely being held in abeyance until officially approved. ; In the meantime student government is functioning with the same force and vigor as before, fortified by the same rights which have guaranteed its freedom for years. All administrative committees, all boards, and both inter dormitory councils are carrying forward their programs without interruption. The legislature and the coed government have re-examined their authorities and responsibilities and are functioning accordingly. For the time being the student council will not hear appeals from the men's and women's councils. Charles Warren, Charlie Fulton, Sara Tillet and myself began discussions on the Constitution with Dean Weaver Monday. I feel confident that the Con stitution will be ready to submit to the trustees by September. The adminis tration has already gone on record as approving the greater part of it. We stand on the threshold of the single greatest advance student govern ment has ever made. Let us make the realization of our goals even more certain by conducting our affairs with the highest degree of sanity, forth rightness, and responsibility. DEWEY DORSETT.

Specific points in the new constitu tion "to be held in abeyance" pending further consideration of the document by a joint student-faculty committee were listed by Dorsett as the result of a conference Monday afternoon in the office of Fred Weaver, Dean of Men. New Constitution Parts Parts of the new constitution con sidered in conflict at present are: (1) the fee structure, (2) the form and administration of coed self-government, (3) the right of the student council to hear appeals in disciplinary cases, (4) the fact that the new con stitution does not provide for faculty members on the Dance committee, and (5) whether dormitory counsellors paid by the University should serve on the Interdormitory Council. Debate on these five points was limited chiefly to a few questions f rom. the student officers, and only one other major point was raised that of re forming class organization. Under the new constitution this work would be a function of the student legisla ture. Dorsett pointed out the possi bility of adding class fees to the stu dents' college bill for those class or ganizations which are set up again.
