Gov't. Merger Propsosed
New Constitution
Awaits Approval
After holding a series of open
meetings and giving much time
and thought to their work, the stu
dent committee on revision of the
present student government at
Guilford College has presented its
final proposal tor a new and more
effective student government. This
plan, stressing unity and co-ordi
nation, is built largely on the pres
ent student government and in
volves no radical change. The main
idea of the new plan is to form a
Student Legislature which will
serve as a link between and as a
basis of co-ordination for each of
the now separate student govern
ment organizations.
Organization-
According to the new plan, the
organization of the Men's Student
Government, the Women's Student
Government, the Student Affairs
Board, and the Honor Board would
remain largely as it is now. To be
organized at this level is a Day
Student Committee. The Student
Legislature would be composed of
twenty-one members: the chair
man of each of the five preceding
governmental groups, the president
of each class, and twelve delegates
from the student body—2 senior
men, 2 senior women, 2 junior men,
2 junior women, 1 sophomore man,
1 sophomore woman, 1 freshman
man, and 1 freshman woman.
Members of the Student Legisla
ture would be elected by class and
internal elections. From its dele
gates the Student Legislature
would choose three standing legis
lative committees Secretariate,
Elections, Traffic.

of president, vice-president, secre
