A similar amendment was defeated on Dec. 11 last year by a vote of 20 to 6 after a three-hour debate. David Byers, a member of the! AIM executive committee, said! the amendment to be proposed; tonight would provide that the ; AIM president could not vote oni All-University Cabinet "in direct! opposition to the wishes of the; Board of Governors." This would not mean, Byers. said, that the AIM president' would necessarily have to vote as directed by the Board of Gover nors, since he could abstain. "It merely states that he could not vote in direct opposi lion," Byers added. Byers also said the Board of Governor's direction would be ab solute only if backed by a two thirds majority, since the presi idential veto, already a part of the IAIM constitution, would still be in effect.

Crafts, assistant to the dean of men in charge of inde pendent affairs, and John Mor gan, AIM president at the time. Crafts called the directed vote a "shackle." No group on campus has this type of pro vision, he said, and if approved, it would put the board "in a mighty funny position."
