Interdorm, Interfrat Group May
Discuss Proposal Tomorrow;
Text Of Issue Is Presented
Tonight President Bob Magill will present the proposed legislature plan
for a separate body to control the legislative policies of the student govern
ment to the Student counciL
If no opposition is met it will likely be considered by the Interdormitory
and Interf raternity. councils tomorrow
mitted to a vote of the student body next Tuesday.
Greatest Changes '
Adoption of the proposed plan, which was passed unanimously by a
committee of ten, will mean one of the greatest changes in the student
government set-up since President Venable first suggested the University
council, for judicial purposes, in 1904.
The legislature proposal will in no way effect the primary function of
the Student council, which still today has little power beyond that of a
judiciary nature. But it will offer a solution to many questions which are
constantly arising with an ever increasing University and student body. At
present there is no stated means of the student body functioning as a legis
lative group. In appointing the committee to draw up a plan President
Magill cited 28 specific instances arising in the past year where there was
a need for a legislative body.
A text of the plan follows:
Powers
All legislative powers of the student body shall be vested in the campus
legislature and shall be unlimited except to the extent that:
(1) A petition of 16 per cent of the student body submitted to the stu
dent body president shall require him to call for a general campus vote on
any issue or issues involved.
(2) Any bill shall be subject to the vote of the student council, a two-
third's vote of the membership of the legislature being required to override
the veto.
(3) The legislature shall annually review and pass the budgets of all
campus-wide fee-collecting organizations. A two-thirds vote of the member
ship shall be required for the passage of these and any other -financial
measures.
(4) By a two-thirds vote the legislature may change any part of this
document except the section entitled "Powers," which shall be changed only
by a favorable majority with at least 50 per cent of the student body voting.
Representation
The legislature shall be composed of 48 members including:
The four sets of class officers.
Ten representatives elected from and by the interdormitory counciL
Five representatives elected from and by the interf raternity council.
One representative elected by and from the law school and one elected by
and from the medical school.
" Five representatives from the Woman association including :
The president of the Woman's Association.
The head of the Pan-Hellenic Council.
Graduate representative on the woman's council.
Dormitory representative on the . woman's council.
The town representative on the woman's counciL
Ten members-at-large selected by the legislature in its first meeting
with a view to including those students not otherwise represented.
Organization
The legislature when elected shall decide all machinery for procedure
except that:
(1) The chairman of the legislature shall be the vice-president of the
student body. The chairman shall call meetings on petition of 20 per cent
of the elected members, or at the request of the student body president, who
shall have full access to the floor at all times.
(2) No bills shall arise from the floor, but shall be submitted by a ways
and means committee elected by the members, unless a bill is voted out of
committee by a majority of the members.
(3) The speaker shall formally inform each member of the agenda to
be considered two days before each meeting.
(4) A majority of the members
mess.
