An interesting point brought up by Miss Wright was that of the relationship be- tween the Communist guerrillas and IVS Volunteers in Viet Nam. There is an unwritten agreement that the Red ver hicles that IVSrers travel in are left alone' by the Viet Cong. in comparing the two agencies the idea was advanced that the larger, more publicized, gov' ernment sponsored Peace Corps may be becoming a sacred cow, Whereas the IVS with its small- ~ er, private organization might decrease its effectlveness if it expanded too much.

The committee has asked that only students who have books to sell some on the first day. Students who bring hooks to sell will be given a numbered receipt showing the name of the book, the student, and the amount that will be paid for the book. When the book is sold the stu- dent will be sent a notice to come and pick up his money. It the book is not sold by the time that the coop closes for the semester, the student will be sent a notice to pick up his book. The coop will start operating on a small loan, of about $20.00 from the Student Government Association, but the loan will be repaid with no interest when the coop closes for the semes- ter. The rest of the margin, which the coop hopes to make, will be deposited in an inde- pendent fund for use when it sets up its operation for the first semester of the 1965-66 school year. Phil Johnson, SGA President. said that the administration of the college is cooperative with the project and has provided the room for it to set up its operation.

Amendments to SGA Constitution Explained Ed. note: The following is an explanation of What SGA hopes will be accomplished by initiat- ing several constitutional amend ments. The article was written by Dan Bucks, a member of the committee which drew up the amendments. Student government has often been a irustrating experience for those who have served on one of the many student boards or com- mittees. Hopefully, though, a ma- jor source of that frustration -— the cumbersome checksand-bal- ance system on which the present SGA is based — would be allevi- ated by proposed amendments to the SGA constitution, which were recently given a nearly unanimous vote of approval by the Student Senate Ideas ror changing the present government were iirst discussed earlier this term at the encamp- ment. This discussion of reorgani- zation was continued by a com- mittee formed by the Executive Cabinet. All of the meetings of this group were open to students. and nowlmoneysaver Pepsi Iialfiquarts in a handy Mott/e carton! several took advantage of the op- portunity to voice their views on student government. The new pro posals were a product of the spe- cial committee. The major theme of the proposed amendments is centralization and simplification. Under the plan, executive and legislative functions would no longer be separated. That much maligned body, the Student Senate, would be replaced by a smaller group, the Advisory Council, comprised of one repre- sentative per hall, the AWS Board President, the CotHP President, and the SGA President, who would serve as chairman of the organi- zation. At present, there are 41 Senators. The new body would have 21 members. In practice, the smaller size would allow the group to function in a committee-like at- mosphere, in contrast to the pres- ent Senate meetings often ham» pered hy its size, which necessi- tates formal parliamentary meth- ods. Opinion articulation and de- cision»making will be aided by the less formal meetings. Actually, the Advisory Council would be comparable to an an. larged version of the present Executive Cabinet. Currently, the Student Senate usually has formal proposals submitted to it which it can either approve or disapprove. This action is then subject to veto by the Executive Cabinet. The Ad visory Council, it is hoped, would play a greater part in shaping new proposals than what the Senate has been able to play. Moreover, since the Executive Cabinet would be included as vut— ing and speaking members of the Council, the Cabinet vem would be eliminated for the constitution. As chairman of the Advisory Council, the SGA President would assume the duties of the Speaker of the Senate. This change would eliminate the disruption and (load lock of student government that has occurred in previous years be cause of conflict" between the Speaker and the SGA President.
