Constit.u.tipni - Revision
. P.loo'n l ect,, : :4:y ' . Seodte '.. '
The Senate of Women's Student Government Association last
night voted to investigate the present WSGA constitution and to
prepare a list of revisions to be considered next fall.
Barbara Hendel, freshman senator, was appointed chairman of a
on and prepare the recommenda-
committee 'to study the constitut
tions. Helen Sidman, Senate par
liamentarian, and a representa
tive' from Freshman Council and
the-House of Representatives will
also serve on the committee.
- Miss . Sidman pointed out that
there are "at least 21 provisions"
of, the:, present constitution which
should possibly be changed.
The question of revising the
constitution arose when Senate
discussed whether or not a rep
regentative from the Daily Col
legian should be allowed an ex
officio seat on . Senate. According
to the present Constitution,' the
Daily Collegian is entitled to such
a post, but it has not made use
of it in rectpt years.
It was the consensus of Senate
that while there may have been
a need and reasons for such a
seat when the constitution was
passed, there is no need for a
Collegian seat today.
In addition, it was pointed out'
that finder the present constitu
tion, the president of Panhellenic
Council has an ex-officio seat on.
Senate. but in the .past several
years, this post has been filled
by the Panhel vice president.
Before a motion to amend the
Constitution waS made, Miss Sid
man pointed out that Senate
might set an unwise precedent by
amending it at that time. She
then-• .recommended the detailed
study. Miss Sidman pointed out
that a three-fourths vote of Sen
ate was all that was needed to
amend the constitution.
- The problem of 'whether or not
the present Bermuda shorts ruling
was being followed was discussed
but action was delayed until next
fall.
The WSGA retreat for new and
old Senators, originallly scheduled
for last night, was postponed un
til next fall. Gail Smith, senior
senator, was - appointed retreat
chairman.
Sherry Koffman, fourth semes
ter arts and letters major, was
named chairman for the second
annual WSGA marriage confer
ence,

Adam's Other Rib—

to get things done: While the
bridge-table set retires into the
dormitory archives, their male'
companions go out vigorously to
"clean up campus politics" . . .
perhaps 'not too successfully, but
at least with effort.
It is not a question of wom
an's integrity. Our stream of
consciousness friend, William
Faulkner, is a staunch adioca
tor of the philosophy "If you
want anything done, ask the
women and children." Faulkner
is right. Women will work, if
there is a man in the chair tell
ing them what to do. Women at
perm State will not work to
get into that chair .themselves.

Any romanticist, and occasion
ally a realist or two, will admit
that woman is the inspiration and
backbone of man. Perhaps in an
other century woman will cham
pion her own species as well. For
if woman is capable "to produce
man, she surely is able to corri
pete with him So be it.
