In Article IV, Section 2, the office
of president-elect would be deleted
and the office of vice president would
be added. According to Wiitala, "In
order to implement this and not make
it retroactive, in 1964 a vice president,
secretary and treasurer would be
elected and the election in 1965 would
be for a full slate of officers, presi-dent,
vice president, secretary and
treasurer."
The Constitutional ammendment on
the selection of Senate advisor would
be deleted and put in the by-laws for
greater flexibility if the other change
in Article IV, Section 2, is approved.
In the selection of dormitory rep-resentatives
to Senate, nominations
from the floor would be included un-der
Article V, Section 1.
A change in Article V, Section 2,
would provide a new procedure for
the election of off-campus Senate
representatives in which contestants
would submit their names to the Exe-cutive
Committee for approval. Their
names would be placed on a ballot
and a special off-campus election
would be held.
A sample ballot has been posted
in the Union Building to enable stu-dents
to make a more complete study
of the proposed changes. Wednesday
students with activity tickets may vote
at the polling place in the Union, said
Wiitala.
