Constitution
Stormy Session
LA
In
By a 17-4 vote—and after lengthy debate—the Liberal
Arts Student Council last night adopted a revised constitu
tion. . .
Probably the most controversial issue of the stormy ses
sion was a revised section restricting voting along fraternity-
sorority lines in the election o
officers.
The proposal finally adopted by
the council a section from the
old council constitution—reads:
"No two consecutive (council)
presidents shall be from the same
fraternity or sorority."
This was substituted for a sec
tion in the revised constitution
which reads:
". . . members of any social
fraternity, social professional frat
ernity or sorority shall split one
vote equally among those mem
bers present."
At least three main points of
view were fervently expressed
and hotly debated during the one
hour forty-five minute hassle: -
Some members said they be
lieved the section in the revised
constitution should be kept. Oth
ers felt the section in the old
constitution should be substituted.
Still others felt neither section
should be included.
Proponents of the revised sec
tion said it would guard against
fraternity or sorority control and
domination of the council.
Opponents of this section felt
it was unfair and undemocratic.
I They believed every member
should be entitled to one full vote
in the election of officers. They
said such a voting plan also
should apply to other campus or
ganizations.
James Jimmiro, senior in arts
and letters from Abington, who
favored Greek restriction, moved
tthat the section from the old con
stitution be substituted for the
new section.
Jimmiro, himself a member of
a fraternity, said:
WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1957
Virginia Oftinger
By RALPH MANNA
"Even though there is only one
chance in 1000 that two consecu
tive council presidents will be
from the same fraternity or sor
ority, there is still more ethno
centricity among these groups
than in other campus organiza
tions."
Opponents of the, section from
the old constitution believed a
capable person should not be held
back from the presidential post
merely because the previous pres
ident was from the same frater
nity or sorority.
