Student Referendum By Richard Schnelrov Wednesday night the Senate approved a slightly revised ver- sion of the community court proposal in a marathon three hour session. The proposal was made in the form of a sub- stitution in the judicial and legislative sections of the SGA toy—laws. . The approved proposal will be presented to a special fac- ulty meeting Monday. it ap— proved, the bylaws will be sub- mitted to'a student referendum where a so percent majority Will he required fer ratification. In its anal torm the proposal provides for a judicial court of three students and three facul~ ty members and a policymak- iilg committee consisting of three faculty members and the Executive Cabinet. The policy making committee will replace the present FCSA in function, The approved change in the by-laws differed in a number of areas from the proposal sub mitted to students February 18. There were no major revisions, however. Probably the most im- portant change was in the form of an amendment that would allow senators and hail vice- presidents to be eligible for membership in the judicial Coun- cil. Originally. senators and vice-presidents were eliminated lrom consideration. The Senate approved two ad- ditional changes, The first one provided that the appointment or student representatives to the court would occur on De- cember 1 anti May 1 instead of April 15 as previously stip- ulated. The second change pro- vided that the chairman of the court serve a one semester term and be allowed to succeed him- seii. , In its final form the proposal does not enumerate specific procedures for the court. Rather, it establishes guide lines within which the court will exercise considerable ireedom. Much of the Senate meeting was taken up by an inrdepth discussion of two amendments: one submitted by Senator David Swee, and the other by Senator Roger Koenkerr Swee’s amend- ment raised an important ques- tion: What will happen in the court in the case of a tie vote? His amendment calling for the court to submit its case to the President of the college was rejected by the Senate on the See SENATE on Page 10 Apartments for Women Pending; Finances Will Influence Decision By Susan Fogg Offloampus apartments for women will he a reality next year pending a decision by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. According to Mrs. Alice Low, Dean of Women, the decision on the proposal and on the number of women to be allowed to live off campus is limited by finan- cial considerations, not policy or philosophy. The difficulty is whether or not the college budg- et can afford to lose the board money in order to relieve uver< crowding in the quad.

Dean Low feels that the we- men will bo chosen by lottern from the names of those ap- plying if the number of op- plicants is more than the Board of Trustees recommends. The problem of representas tion of the off-campus women on the AWS Board came up at last Monday's board meeo ing. a twelfth board'membee was elected by the South cam- pus dwellers. If the proposal does not go into effect, onq of the present board members will be forced to step down. Karen Lauterbach has several tentative plans for handling this problem it it should arise, but she ieels optimistic about the proposai’s chances. Applications stating a desirq to move off-campus, and the reasons for this move, (and written parental permission it necessary) are to be addressed to the Dean of women. Ape plicants are not eligible tor room drawings. If a girl can< not find an apartment by the end of the spring semester, she will then have to pick from the remaining rooms in the quad.

Queried as to the nature of this land of Involvement the new student ” leader indicat— ‘ ed that, “In- volve m e n t doesn't neces- sorily mean activity such as attendance of students at senate meet< ings or other official ectivi— Fliqelmb ties, but means keeping the stu~ dents aware of what student leaders and groups on campus are doing and keeping them bet- ter prepared to respond to campus ideas and proposals." To foster the Information flow necessary for student response to ideas and events, Fligeltaub intends to implement a four- point communication program: (I) The reorganization of u Council of Hall Vice Presidents that would meet with resident advisors to exchange ideas on problems of common concenu especially those relating to freshmen adjustment. (2) The establishment of reg- ular meetings between ho councils and the newly propo campus Judicial Council to help clarify issues concerning rule em forcement. (a) The Encouragement 0! house president: to adequately inform their halls of campuJ issues. (4) The continuation n! the process of increased coupon- ation of the C of HP and till AWS Board, On substantive questions, Flig- eltaub feels that the issue of st dent privacy should be deal with through the formation of I student open dorms committed that would gather visitation pro. gram information from othel campuses and then make ro- commendations to student lead- ers.
