Cabinet appro ed on first read ing the report if Ronald Skiers, judicial reorgan, zation committee chairman, but not before asking reconsideration of a section on an Organizational Board of Contiol and also on parts dealing with individual board membership. Cabinet questioned what reg ulatory and disciplinary powers would be included in an Organ izational Board of Control. According to the proposed judi cial setup, such a board would have "regulatory and disciplinary powers over all student , groups chartered by the Senate Commit tee on Student Affairs excepting social fraternities and sororities."

Edward Frymoyer, AIM presi dent,- said no• such occasions are apparent now but there may be some in the future. Frymoyer objected to stipula tion that the board would legis late its own regulations. "In previous action, we have forbidden the SGA assembly from legislating anything with in the Jurisdiction of another organization." he said. "But if we passed this (concerning the organization board) we would be allowing a board to do some thing we forbid the assembly." Siders cited the example that all organizations being responsible for their debts would be one area of jurisdiction of the organization board. As a res,ult of the many ques tions raised concerning the board, All-University President Jay Feld stein referred the entire section back to committee.

He said, "From whatl have - geen of the WMAJ proposals, they contain nothing that we at WDFM do not already have or could not easily provide." Mickey Bergstein, WMAJ sta tion manager, told a Collegian reporter, yesterday that the plan being considered under a long term agreement would not pro -1 vide for more weekday student broadcasting over WMAJ. It may include some extra hours on weekends and the possibility of including more students in the downtown setup, he added. Under the present agreement, WDFM broadcasts two hours a night over WMAJ.

A petition signed by 617 stu dents, or 5.2 per cent of the en tire student body, was presented to All-University Cabinet by Rob ert Laßar, president of Agricul ture Student Council. The petition was upheld by 23 Cabinet mem bers, one member abstaining dur ing a 5-hour meeting. The petition read: "Having considered properly the student government reorgan ization plan we feel that a pro gram so important and complex should be favored by the student body before it is instituted by Cabinet. We therefore petition that in order to ascertain , feel ings on this important matter, the plan be put to the popular vote of the entire student body." James Holt, senior in agron omy from Philadelphia, speak ing for the petition, said that while the petition did not re quire Cabinet to submit the plan to a referendum, it urged Cabinet to give the student body a chance to vote on the government they would be working with. The petition was circulated for 48 hours, according to Holt, and was given to students who said they had a good idea of the re organization plan. Daniel Thalimer, chairman of the reorganization committee, (urged Cabinet members to place the plan on the ballots in this spring's elections. Thalimer said "Cabinet cannot turn down the request of the student body." Thalimer explained further that a ruling by Cabinet in fa vor of the referendum does not stop any action as far as the approval of the entire reorgan ization plan by Cabinet goes. By the time it is submitted to the student - body the cant' titu tion will be complete. All-University President Jay Feldstein also spoke in favor of a referendum. Feldstein said, "This issue will get students in terested in the spring elections and the voting percentage will be higher." - In a referendum, 20 per cent of (Continued on page three) purchase some equipment used in the new broadcasting setup, such as recording machines and typewriters, to be used wherever the University sees fit.

Concerning allotting more time to student programs, Berg-- stein said: "I think the present 14 hours a week is more than enough for strictly educational programming." He included in this such pro grams as panels, discussions and reporting of campus events. Asked whether he thought WMAJ could fulfill the instruc (Continued on page five),, FIVE CENTS
