THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 1954 Rangel Considers Constitutional Change in Selecting President (This is the first in a series of two articles explaining the proposed revisions of the Panhellenic -Council constitution. The second article will follow tomorrow.) By PEGGY McCLAIN Modification of the rotational presidency clause and a change in the selection method for Panhellenic Council delegates were two major constitution changes presented to the group for approval Tuesday night, To be effective the .amendments must be approved by two-thirds lof the 19. voting members. Pre -1 jsentation of the r.evised constitu tion met with little discussion or comment by council members at Tuesday’s meeting. The presidential rotation clause The presidential rotation clause now in effect provides that the office pass from sorority to soror ity in order of chapter founding on campus. .The modified rota tional presidency clause would require that the sorority in line for the. Panhel vice presidency submit to a screening board a maximum of five candidates for the position. At present, the vice president automatically becomes president the following year.

Whispering Gallery (Continued from page four) terrace lit up by a gas lamp in the blue night, and a corner of the starry blue sky.” Van Gogh painted hatless in the scorching sun and even stayed out doors during the lashings of the mistrals, tropical storms, which swept southern France. He paint ed the turbulent motion of the storm right into his pictures. The people of Arles thought all artists were queer. They called van Gogh “le fou rou,” the crazy redhead. Constant bickering with Gauguin, then his house guest, malnutrition, and dynamic inner turmoil took their toll. His mind weakened. He suffered a mental stroke sometimes diagnosed as phsysic epilepsy. At his own request he entered a maison de sant at St. Remy where he passed the time draw ing the Interior of the Hospital and scenes in the garden. Finally he was allowed outside the gates to paint the Olives Trees and the Cypresses. He wrote, “Cypresses are always occupying my thoughts ... it astonishes me that they have not yet been done as I see them.” Standing back and looking at the Cypresses and Cypress with a Star mounted on the same wall, gives one a strange feeling of elec trification and swirling upheaval. The tortured streaks of pigment point out the intensity of effort and nervous tension concentrated on the canvases with a result that the trees seem carved from the tube. Completed in July, 1890 just before van Gogh’s suicide, Field at Auvers and Cornfield with Crows are captured in that ,same thick crust and violent colors—a symbol of the very intensity that consumed him, WRA SWEETHEART DANCE Girl Ask Boy (for the post 16 years) SATURDAY NIGHT, FEB. 20 9-12 in WHITE HALL Semi-formal Tickets at Student Union JACK HUBER and his Orchestra The screening board, which would consist of the five council officers; would make final selec tion of a vice president from the candidates submitted for con sideration. The amended clause provides that the sorority in line for the presidency would be given a grace period of one year, if the screen ing board could not select a can didate. At the end of the grace period, the same selection process would follow. If at that time the screen ing board could not choose a candidate for the vice presidency meeting the -requirements set by the board and the constitution, the sorority in question would forfeit its turn at - the presidency until the cycle among the sororities is completed—a period of 21 years. The vice presidency, would then pass to' the. next sorority bn the list. ' No Grace Period At present the constitution pro vides that if a sorority is unable to supply a council vice presi dent, the turn at office passes automatically to the sorority next in line without a grace period. There is nothing similar to the proposed screening board author ized in the present constitution. The presidency this year is held by Beta Sigma Omicron and the vice presidency by' Delta Zeta. Delta Zeta will move into the presidential' position this spring and Delta Delta Delta is next in line for the vice presidency. Affects New Veep Because the 1954-1955 term of president has already been desig nated under the present Consti tution the amendments, if ap proved, would go into effect with the ' vice president selected by Delta Delta Delta. It would in volve no change in ' the presi dency this year. Ellen Wandel, council president, read to the group a Daily Col legian editorial suggesting that the council use a representative general election each year instead of the rotational method of selec tion. In reference to the editorial’s charge that the present rotational process is undemocratic, Miss Wandel said that democracy means the right to choose and that the council chose the rota tion process. Although council members made no comment on the suggestion, Miss Wandel said that such a change would be en tirely up to council decision. Philoffes Elects Officers New officers of Philotes are Helen Clare, president; Beverly Burkhardt, .secretary; Jacquelyn Shackleford, treasurer; Nancy Hammer, historian; and Carolyn Lackey, athletic chairman.
