FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 12. 1954 Proposal to Change Choice of Delegate By PEGGY McCLAIN (This is the last of two articles explaining the. revised consti tution presented to Panhellenic Council Tuesday night.) Elimination of sorority presidents' as Panhellenic Council dele gates was the second major constitution revision presented to the council for approval Tuesday night. The other principal revision was modification of the rotational presidency clause to allow a one-year grace period to a sorority in line - for the presidency in the event that that sorority could not provide a presidential candidate meeting requirements' set by a Panhel screening board and the constitution. The amended article on dele gates would require that two dele gates be selected from each sor ority, one to be the rushing chair man and the other a delegate, other than the . sorority president, appointed or elected from the sor ority^ ■fn President Now Included The present constitution pro vides for two delegates from each sorority, . the rushing chairman and the president. The amendment will be effec tive if approved by two-thirds of the 19 voting members of the council. The elimination of the sorority presidents as delegates was pro posed by the revision committee because they felt that the presi dents often were too busy with chapter responsibilities to be re quired to attend council meetings. Last year sorority presidents did not act as council delegates. Speaking for the committee, Iris Rodgins, Phi Sigma • Sigma rush chairman and past president, said that at present sorority women other than officers get only re ports from council meetings and have no chance to participate in the meetings. Aim to Interest More Women “The committee would like to get more women actively inter ested in the council as well' as in formed about it,” Miss Rodgins said. Ellen Wandel, council president, said that delegates other than sor ority presidents might tend to vary council attendance from week to week. By having sorority presidents serve as delegates, she said, constant attendance is as sured because the president, as leader of her sorority, would be especially particular about her group’s representation and parti cipation. The two final amendments pro posed to the council were the es tablishment of the post of parlia mentarian to be appointed by the president and to be present at each council meeting to assure observance of parliamentary pro cedure during council meetings, and the addition of Alpha Kappa Alpha and Pi Beta Phi to the pres idential rotation list and to the adviser rotation list. The latter addition is in accor dance with the constitutional pro vision that each year one Pan hellenie adviser be selected for a two-year period from the local: alumnae of each sorority on cam pus in order of national founding.

Pitfalls— (Continued from page four) news is bad. and when there is a suspicion it would be worse except for recently tightened French censorship. When the United States agreed to double her aid to the French effort, and when the French were thus emboldened to reinforce that effort, there was hope that this fighting season .might bring vic tory.
