AIM Governors to Air
Directed Vote Tonight
By DAVE FINEMAN
Collegian City Editor
A directed-vote constitutional amendment will be pro
posed at the Association of Independent Men Board of Gov
ernors meeting tonight.
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.

William B. 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."
James Goodwin, a member of
the Board, supported the pro
posal in December, saying it
would uphold the principle of a
representative democracy.
"AIM is supposed to deal with
the independent man," he said,
"and this group (AIM) is sup
posed to be a sounding board for
the independent man's opinion."
