Salemites
App rove New
Point System
The student body voted in chapel
on Thursday to accept several
amendments to the constitution.
These amendments will bring about
a separation of powers and create
two new major student council of
fices. The new constitution will go
into effect with the elections this
spring.
The amendments to the constitu
tion will put into effect the
division of the student government
into an executive board, a legisla
tive board and a judicial board.
The executive board will consist of
the president, the vice president,
the secretary and the treasurer of
student government and the chair
man and the secretary of the judi
cial board. The legislative board
will consist of the officers who now
make up the student council. The
judicial board will consist of the
chairman and secretary of the judi
cial board, the four class presidents,
the presidents of the dormitories,
one day-student representative and
the president of the stee gee as an
ex-officio member. These changes,
it was felt, would help to better
distribute the time-consuming work
of the student government among
more people.
These changes will affect the
duties of both the major officers
and the branches of the student
government. The main duties of
the newly created executive depart
ment are to co-ordinate the func
tions of the Student Council and to
act as a liason between the students
and the. faculty. The duties of the
Legislative board are to consider
petitions, to conduct orientation of
new student government officers
and new students, to act as a nomi
nating committee, and to act as a
clearing house for all campus extra-
curricular activities. Two new
duties have also been given to the
Legislative Board. It will consider
for acceptance any organization on
campus which wishes to organize
and will enforce the point system.
The Judicial Board will deal with
infractions of regulations. It will
also act as an impeachment board
and have the power to remove
council members from office. An-
mother addition to the constitution is
that any student holding a major
office who is on academic or social
probation will automatically be
asked to resign. The student coun
cil felt that a council member who
was on probation would not be
qualified to pass judgment on the
actions of others.
There was also an amendment to
replace the house presidents with
a house council in eagh dormitory
which consists of the house presi
dents and hall presidents. These '■
new house councils will still have
the function of trying minor cases
dealing with dormitory life which
the house presidents council for
merly dealt with.
The point system, although it is
not itself a part of the constitution,
was presented with the amend
ments because the enforcement of
the point system is included as part
of the duties of the legislative
branch of the student council. The
point system is designed to
distribute responsibility among
many students and to prevent one
student from having too many time
consuming duties to carry out. The
point system assigns a specific
number of points to the main posi
tions of responsibility. No student
may carry more than ten points
and freshmen have a maximum of
eight points which they may carry.
