The president of the student body would serve ex officio us president of the other house, constituted of representatives from campus organizations and activities, such as the Athletic council, the German club,- the Grail, C. P. U., the publications, and the Foreign Policy league. All provisions, however, are yet tentative. : - The Student council would be divested of any power not strict ly judicial and fees, class hours, and many powers now delegated to the faculty would be trans ferred to the legislature.- GPU wW Friday a Student Council Authorizes : Ballot On Staff Elections Swamped Dr. Ernest R.
