Seatinq Change Turned Down By Ag Council With the fust auorum of the year the Agriculture Student Council at its last meeting de feated a pronosed amendment to the constitution dealing with the time of seating new members. The amendment which has been riding on the agenda since last May. was defeated by the dissent of four members. The business of the council has been greatly hamoered this vear due to the number of absentees. At a previous meetin" the coun cil discussed the problem. They did not vote to oust the absentees as was erroneously reported in The Daily Collegian. The council voted to act through the constitution which states that anv member who is absent twice without sending an alternate will be voted on for dismissal bv the other members of the counci' Russell Beatty, president of the council, appointed a committee to study the possibi’itv of having an aR-colleee open house in future years. The members are Jesse Clarke, junior in forestry from WescoesviHe: Donald Gould, jun ior in animal husbandry from North Wales, and Allen Shoey, senior in animal husbandry from Cochranton. Beatty also appointed Dorothy -Harms, sophomore in medical technology from Reading, to the big-little sister committee of the Womens' Student Government Association. Research on Blasting Dr. Boris J.
