File Photo. Suspension to come by Keith Nelson Final senatorial approval for the new Study Govern ment Association constitu tion was given at last Thurs day night’s meeting. In other action, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes will receive matching funds up to $250 from the Senate with bank receipts accepted as proof of money raised. In dis.'ussion on Article VII of the constitution, Student Union Board financial poli cies were questioned. Senator Ken Whitley introduced a bill to add restrictions on use of money S.U.B. given by the SGA. The Senate discussed the pi.■'posed section and eventually added two sections to the article. The first requires that money left in the S.U.B. treasury at the end of the year will be returned to the SGA. The second section requires the S.U.B. president and treasurer to maice a report to the Senate twice a semester. Each article was brought to the floor for discussi. n. Article XII was amended to state passage of the new constitution requires a two- thirds majority vote of half of the student body to approve it. After the final article was approved, the old constitu tion was abolished. The new constitution was approved unaimously by the Senate. At this meeting 33 senators were p-esent. Last weelc’s meeting was dismissed because two- thirds majority of senators was not pr nt foi action on the constitution. Jim Stephenson, chairman of the constitutional commi ttee, said after approval of the constitution, “I m glad it passed. I thinic it wi'l give more students a chance to participate in student govern ment.” King Vv hite, vice president and speaker of the Senate, said, “I think the constitution is workable. If adopted by the student body, it will make student government more re sponsive to student needs.” David Penson, junior class vice-president, resigned on Oct. 19. An election will be held as soon as possible. Interested students should go by the SGA office at 209 Long Student Center. “I want all freshmen to understand that suspension at the end of this tern, is a distinct possibility if their grade point average is low,” said Dean Chris White this week. “And campus-wide, the college is tightening up on academic standards and ex pectations,” the dean added. Specifically the college has changed its policy regarding suspension of students for academic reasons. In pre vious years, freshmen were allowed a year of work at the college before suspension. Those who had low grade point averages were put on probation._ Nov: che acade mic standing committee will suspend those freshmen who, except in unusual cases, do not have a L' average. Suspension will take place in December with no permission to take winter term courses. Those freshmen who have slightly above a D average may also expect to be sus pended, but they may be allowed to come to a winter term course as an option. If they do well then, they may be allowed to return in the spring semester. Why is this policy being adopted by the academic standing committee?
