New Officers Elected To Lead Elon Student Government
Honor Council Changes
Are Approved By Vote
A major change in the judicial
organization of the Elon College
Student Government Association was
given overwhelming student approv
al in the passage of an amendment
to the student constitution in last
Friday’s general campus election.
The students voted by the heavy
majority of 208 to 32 in favor of
the amendment, which provides for
an almost complete reorganization
of the present system, which for
years has included an Honor Coun
cil, Student Council, Men’s Inter
dormitory Council and Women's In
terdormitory Council.
In approving this amendment for
judicial revisions on the campus,
the student voters also approved a
second amendment by a 223 to 9
majority to provide a flexible date
for the annual campus elections.
This new plan will enable the Stu
dent Body president and the i.hair-
man of the board of elections to set
election dates each year which will
not conflict with the annual spring
vacations.
The judicial amendment still pro
vides for the Student Council and
fte Men’s and Women’s Interdorm-
•tory Councils, but it substitutes a
new Honor Court in the place of
former Honor Council.
The new Honor Court will be com
posed of three judges, a chief and
two associates, who will hand down
filings and penalties after the guilt
«■ innocence of accu.sed persons has
"wn determined by a joint student
3nd faculty jury. Provisions are
made for both prosecution and
Wense council in Honor Court
Air Force Team
Comill" Tuesday
The U. S. Air Force will have
a special Air Force Procurement
Team on the Elon campus Tues
day for special consultation with
students who may be interested
in signing for service in that
branch of the United States armed
forces. The group will be in the
Student Union from 10 o’clock in
the morning until 4 o’clock In (he
afternoon.
Captain John Elkins, who leads
the team, will have information
concerning officer training for
both men and women who are
college graduates, and he will also
have particulars concerning avia
tion caded training for persons
interested in pilot training,
cases.
The new amendment, for which
President Jim Buie gave high praise
to Kenneth Lumpkin and other
members of the judiciary commit
tee, also defines the definite juris
diction of the Honor Court and
Student Council over various types
of campus violations.
The Honor Court is to have orig
inal jurisdiction over all violations
of the Honor Code and in cases in
volving constitutionality of actions
by the Student Senate. ’The Student
Council will have original jurisdic
tion over violations of the Campus
Code and all minor violations
against the student body.
