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. As time passes, that hope
seems less and less attainable.
