I. The name of this organi-
zation shall be the Student
Association Senate. It shall be
composed of representatives
elected by the various colleges
for purposes of great
importance and not a little
impact. As the official strong
arm of the student body it will
meet on Monday evenings and
try to collectively decide why it
cannot keep to a budget.
A. The membership will be
restricted to concerned
students, or those with at least
two years of concern under
their belt. No part-time
concern will suffice, unless
such concern shall be proven
to be of a high caliber and
developed over a long period,
such as three consecutive
years in a senior high Key
Club.
B. The prospective Student
Senator shall demonstrate his
or her concern by writing
about it the previous year in
the Thresher. Concern
extending over 250 words
shall be deemed filler and
relegated to sharing a page
with a Baha'i Faith article.
C. The election of a Student
Senator shall follow the
interpretation of the spirit of
the preamble of the Kangaroo
Committee's rules and
regulations on playing loose
and winning easy.
D. The prospective Student
Senator shall demonstrate
descendance from a long line
of Viking chieftans.
II. The second part of the
constitution shall be signified
by a Roman numeral II.
III. The purpose of the Student
Senate shall be:
A. To provide a forum for
expression of random
thoughts and enlightening
small talk;
1. provided that a quorum is
present, such quorum to be a
nice one, not too gauche, yet
reasonably fashionable,
perhaps one with a touch of
recherche continentalism, you
know, like you see in the
department store windows;
2. and provided that nobody
gets silly or resorts to cliche-
ridden colloquialisms.
B. To run out of funds towards
the end of the year and choose
official Senate lackeys to
grovel before the college
cabinets for mere pittances.
C. To divide up into
committees and report on the
progress of said committees
before each other. Such
presentations shall not exceed
three minutes so everybody
can have a turn, and visual
presentations will be allowed
as long as they are big enough
for the people in the back row
to see without having to stand
up.
D. To hinder other campus
organizations from getting on
with their business. Such
sticking-the-nose-where-it-
does-not-belong tactics shall
be considered organized
concern validated under the
Lots-Of-Spare-Time-Act of 19-
something -or-other.
E. To justify its existence by
engaging in acts of student
watchdogging and personal
resume enhancement.
IV. The officers of the Student
Association Senate shall hold
office for a one-year period,
give or take a few days for
scheduled concern seminars
and refresher courses in same,
and occasional Senate picnics
when the weather is nice and
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
In the colleges
Hanszen College will hold a
college-wide public meeting
tonight in the commons at
6:30pm (after dinner.) The
meeting is being held to
receive opinions from all
members of the college on the
potential expansion of the
coed College system and the
perennial question of
freshman serving. All on- and
off-campus members are urged
to attend.
Jones—Jones is holding
college meetings by floor to
discuss the coed college issue.
The meeting times are:
Sunday (9/18), after lunch in
the commons; Monday, at 9pm
in Jones South, and Tuesday,
after dinner in Jones North.
Off-campus members are
encouraged to attend one of
the meetings.
We will be electing one off-
campus rep. to the cabinet in
the campus-wide special
election. If you are interested
in running, submit a signed
statement that you have read
and understood the Jones
Constitution and By-Laws to
Jackie White by Thursday the
29th. Voting will take place in
the college and the rmc.
Our first college night will
be Oct. 21, at Jones.

Lovett—In a special election
Tuesday, Tim Case defeated
David Weiss to become
Lovett's new Properties
Coordinator. Discussions
about the possibility of Lovett
becoming co-ed were held
Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday. A majority of
upperclassmen seem to favor
the conversion. Vice Presi-
dent Chip Bledsoe urged all
Lovett members to participate
in the plebiscite concerning
the coed college expansion
next Tuesday, Sept. 20.
Also, unclaimed articles left
in the basement will be
auctioned off Saturday at
lpm.
everybody can agree whether
to have hot dogs and potato
salad or cold sandwiches and
watermelon, and if one should
become unable to execute the
responsibilities that accom-
pany concentrated concern:
A. Nobody will notice
anyway.
B. The cow will jump over the
moon.
C. None of the above.
D. All of the above.
V. Heretofore insofar as to
whit, the Senate shall amend
this constitution according to
Erik's Rules of Order, ratified
in the year of our Lord 1126 by
a congress of Vikings in
sheep's clothing. A two-thirds
majority will be more than
ample for this purpose, and
proposals submitted in
Sanskrit will require a hand-
count approval, with people
raising both hands disquali-
fied for premeditated
cleverness. A priori, sections I,
III-V will not be subject to
amendment or badmouthing
of any kind, except for
changes in spelling and
grammar, which comes under
the jurisdiction of The
Committee on Plastic Hippos
and Wooly Blue Mammoths.
