iVeir Constitution Shows
Rising Student Interest
The growing desire of students
to be a vital part of the campus
commimity has been reflected in
the new constitution of the Coopera
tive Association of Atlantic Chris
tian College.
There has been an increasing
movement toward what some have
called “student government” on
the campus this year. The new
president of the Cooperative As
sociation, David Smith, and one of
the new Co-Editors of The Col
legiate, Terrill RUey, both have
advocated changes in the govern
ment publically.
The new constitution, which was
adopted formally yesterday, re
flects a portion of the growing sen
timent for student government.
Notable among the changes is the
removal of the Dean of Men, Dean
of Women, and Student - Faculty
representative from the Executive
Board. As the board now stands,
two members will be from the fa
culty or administration.
The two are a faculty represen
tative elected by the faculty and
the Director of Student Life. The
president of the college serves as
a member of the board ex-officio.
'There are 11 students on the
board, bringing the total number of
regular voting members to 13.
'The new constitution has added
a phrase to the duties of the Execu
tive Board which opens the way to
extended work for the board.
'The new phrase reads, “the Exe
cutive Board shall. . promote an
atmosphere of cooperation and un
derstanding among students, facul
ty, and administration.”
No further explanation of this
duty is given. This has been obser
ved to be a sign of great wisdom
on the part of the drafters of the
constitution.
A student at the general meet
ing last week was heard to say
about the phrase, “that certain
ly leaves the board wide open to
do almost anything that might be
necessary to promote that atmos
phere.”
In the section dealing with nom
inations for officers of the Coopera
tive Association, an added stipula
tion has been made. The new
constitution states that the Exe
cutive Board does not have the
right to approve or disapporve pe
titions for nomination.
The action came as a result of
extended discussion in the general
meeting last week.
It was pointed out in the dis
cussion that the Executive Board
stiU must check the signers of a
petition to ascertain if they are
bona fide members of the Coopera
tive Association.
In the discussion of the measure
in the general meeting. It was
pointed out that a great deal of
confusion had developed over the
acceptance of petitions this year,
and that the matter should be spell
ed out explicitly.
Another added stipulation in the
constitution is designed to make
all actions of the Executive Board
subject to the approval of the Co
operative Association.
Petition by 20 members of the
association can call a general meet
ing of the association. Any action
of the board is subject to the ap
proval of the association at this
meeting.
An administrative official was
heard to say last week that
“the new constitution may well be
the biggest step forward that the
campus government has made
since it was formed.”
