Meeting To Be
First Chance'
At Law Making
Summer School
Personnel Group
To Be Considered
By Rolfe Neill
The Ninth Student Legisla
ture tonight will get its first!
it bites into a legislature fare
consisting of four bills out of
the Ways and Means Commit
tee and an 18-page revision of
the legislature by-laws.
The meeting will be held at
7:30 in the Di Hall of New West
Building. Students aire invited.
Two bills arc authored by leg
islator Jim Lamm. They provide
for Vne establishment of a sum
mer school personnel committee
for running student government,
and Town Men's and Women s
Associations representation on
the Dance Committee.
There are two major changes in
the proposed by-laws. One would
make a decided increase in the
number of affirmative votes re
quired to unseat a legislator for1
non-performance of duty. The
other would create a standing
judiciary committee.
Non-performance of duty is
the name given, to unexcuscd ab
sences from legislature meetings.
Those missing meetings are re
quired to submit excuses within
10 school days after the session
After two unexcused meetings,
the Rules Committee is supposed
to originate an unseating mo
tion. This requires a four fifths
vote of the quorum. This would
be 21 members as a quorum, be
ing one more than half, is 26.
The new by-laws propose a
two thirds affirmative vote of the
entire legislature, or 33 members.
Much opposition is expected to
develop over this feature.
P. A. Transou and Arch Fort
were declared unexcused from
(Sec SOLON S, page A)

fective' works in the Impression
ist style for the piano.
The recital is sponsored by the
