Senators Amend
Constitution Man
The Student Senate took ac-
tion Monday in a move designed
to ease and clarify absentee vot-
ing proceedures in college elec-
tions.
Article VII, Section E of the
Senate Constitution, was modi-
fied so that students with a sat-
isfactory excuse may now ob-
tain and cast an official ballot
if available prior to the regularly
scheduled election in the Stu-
dent Personel Services Office.
Formerly, students voting ab-
sentee were'required to. submit
an unofficial ballot to the Chair-
man of the Election Committee
by 5:00 -p.m. the day before
the election.
S0 that immediate action
could be taken, the rule requir-
ing approval for the amendment
change by the student body was
temporarily suspended with the
necessary two-thirds of the sen-
ate approving this action. ?'
