. Friday, February -|7, l96l Cam Defines 'House Rules' Grinnell college now has new form of student govern— ment. Yet the implementation of 1116 new constitution presents many challenges. The Student Senate possesses all the legisla— tive power. i believe that in some narrowly-defined this responsibility could be delc» gated to other bodies, ~ One possible area would be the formulation of "house i-ul those rules which pertained only to north campus or only to south campus. 1 would i‘equest‘ a certain SCARLET AND V‘BL'ACK jHalama Wants NSA, PBflCOFDS Underlying most proposals con-lineen students and faculty and cernmg student government are,administration.

The student body president must be an initiator. Tire very nature oi the e.\ - ' oiticc demands rcspun brlrty and creativity.

A chronic problem on this came pus is the void which exists be. tween the classroom and daily life Student government rs extra. cur icular, and as such, is an tension of education into the life , 3f the campus community. Until 4‘- Hendershot that the out-going CofHP and AWS board define, as part of their annual report, what each body considered to be its "house rules." The Executive Board, after careiul review, could then me quest that the Student Senate delegate to the new CofHP and AWS board the responsibility 'for the formulation of these dormitory rules. As the Student Senate would maintain its ulti— mate authority in this or a, it could rescind this delegation of responsibility at any time. In such areas as the hall orientation program for the freshmen the fundamentally diiicrent resident dormitory systems precludes any com- mon experience. it is this kind of legislative issue which could most expeditiously be handled by the Coin? and laws board. Such a delegation would free the Student Senate for fuller consideration of more allvcamv pus issues On new area now under its jurisdiction is the mak ing of social policy. Previously the Social Caleniar committee had made recommendation to the president on such matters as open dormitori and open lounges. I feel this is an area which could be very profitably explored by the Student Senate. The implementation of the new judicial system would logi- cally begin, 1 would think, with a thoroiigh survey of the past adjudicating process. Such an examination would entail a definition oi the dor- mitory rules, how they have been enforced and the kinds of punishments exacted. This would form a solid base of precedent upon which the high court and primary court could act. There are other areas into which the Grinnell college Stu— dent Government Association could lorge. it could make a continuing effort to better “town—gown" relations estab- lishing a student 52 icc bur» eau. it could help to attract the top quality stud nt Grinncll needs by sponsoring a special prospective students weekend.

Student members could communicate tn» :ulty views to the Senate, and faculty members would report to faculty meetings and iniormally 'to their colleagues. Second. there are faculty com mittces which wrll not permit, ior many reasons, student mem- bership, Where problems warrant it, l propose student committees, lparallel to the faculty groups. ’These student committees would work closely with the faculty .committees and make recom- mendations to the student senate. Third, I would categorical. ly support another cncilmp» mcnt with the specific view of using the reports of the prev vious gathering to stimulate constructive proposals by the encampment committees to the Senate.
