Amendments May Limit Cabinet's Voting Power All-College Cabinet's power to recommend changes in student activities fees , will be limited if a proposed amendment to the All- College Constitution is approved. The cllnge, one of eight recommended to Cabinet last week by the constitutional revision committee, would require a two-thirds vote of 'approval at each of two consecutive meetings for passage of fee recommendations to the administration. Though no specifiC voting pro cedure on finances is now set forth in the constitution, a Cabi net vote has been required at only one meeting. Under another change, signa tures of ten per cent of the stu dent body would be required on petitions requesting a referen dum on any proposal for amend ment of the constitution. Committee Chairman Richard Schweiker pointed• out that, though this provision would in crease the number of required petition signatures' from the pre sent 300, individuals would retain the right to present directly, to Cabinet any matters 'which con cern. student welfare. The committee proposed the abolishment 'of ex-officio repre sentatives from Penn State Chris tian Association and Windcrest. This change was recommended because other College religious groups' and student resident sec tions are not represented, Seh weiker explained. ' Other proposed amendments would enlarge on existing pro visions 'of the constitution. The position of Cabinet parliamentar ian and the right of students to vote or hold office regardless of creed, would be clarified. The• discussion, as well as the reading, of motions for ex - penditures of student government funds and fo r constitutional amendments would be required. Members of the constitutional revision committee are nobert Davis, president of 'Association of Independent Men; Mary Lou Hollis, president of Leonides; and Joseph Lane, president of the School of Home Economics Stu dent Council.
